Fatherly love...

Unless he's taking the rap for his son.... (Not that I believe it but he doesn't look like he's in racing shape to me so a lifetime ban won't hurt as much as a full term ban for this son.)

I think it is probably more a case of the father not really seeing anything wrong with it, so why not!

(I am assuming that he did actually dope during his own career. Too scared of getting caught to have used doping products ...? I think not - if he was scared for himself, then he should have been terrified for his son!)

Yeah, me too! Maybe @DP will do one?
I love the way Michael Boogerd's wife defends him like a Tory politician's wife despite all evidence to the contrary.

Ex wife!

True, which is even weirder.

True, which is even weirder.

It struck me as being odd too, but I suppose some people do divorce amicably!
