Is he named in the report? All I've seen so far is summaries. Some of them are no real surprise but I'm taking the lack of mention of some as a good sign.

Jens has always vehemently denied any doping at all. I don't know, to an extend I find it hard to believe. Not only because of the recent reports - I mean many of that isn't all that new, is it? Hamilton said similar stuff about Riis before - but because he was riding for a team where doping was obviously widespread under a director who encouraged actively a doping culture. Over the years you could hear certain allegations also against Voigt here and there. One the other hand I'd like to believe HIM. Because, well, it's Jens Voigt...... it's the type of rider one would love to believe to be clean. Just hard work, bread and butter, loads of sweat. And in fact he has always been really convincing when he talked about doping, his stance against it and that he certainly would have never ever, every, ever doped himself.

Will we ever find out? Does it actually matter? Or shall we move on? Not sure...

Ok, I'm going to say this out loud: I don't like Jens Voigt. There I've said it.

I'm of the opinion he didn't dope but that's by the by.

Stuart O'Grady, doping ex-cyclist tweets: "Just because you've obviously never achieved anything in your life mate. Don't believe others can't" in response to a tweet saying it would be interesting to hear about the doping he saw at CSC.

He didn't inhale either IIRC. Well only before the statute of limitations again.
He's been given some good quality ripostes tho

I find that hugely reassuring. The story is entirely plausible and he had clearly gone to the trouble of notifying the authorities where he would be. His attitude is commendable.

The system allows for up to three missed tests, presumably to take account of genuine no-fault cases such as this appears to be.

Also full marks to the Mirror for journalism. While I'm reassured by his answers to their questions, I suspect that rather than an attack of candour, this story arose from them discovering that he'd missed a test and confronting him about it.

Never sure what I think about that: it's a missed test, not a positive, but you wouldn't know that from how some people treat it :rolleyes:

I find it strange that the testers just went "aye ok then, we'll not bother" when the hotel staff said they would not contact Froome rather than say "listen matey boy, you want to "protect" your guests yeh? Well get his arse down here pronto or he's in deep shoot..."
