I thought Drenkrom post was as interesting

Imagine for two seconds there are only 20 companies on the face of the Earth that can employ you. Ever. Your typical employment contract lasts two years. Your career lasts at least 10. You absolutely need 5 employers to sustain your career, which means you have to be in the good graces of at least 10-12 of them. In that context, when one of those 20 employers offers you a job, are you really going to scrutinize every last rumor ever propagated about them? If you turn up a slight doubt, will you kiss your career goodbye on the base of these suspicions? Anyone who even considers answering "yes" must really suck at role-playing games. And I haven't even started talking about the brownie points you need to rack up to find a good post-racing job.

Lately, many cycling fans have drawn up standards the riders should adhere to that are so completely out of touch with reality it becomes downright funny. Either that, or the fans become so systematically suspicious, it leads to situations like that of Allan Davis. Kléber, you never even consider the possibility Davis didn't know what was going on. Do you really think riders talk about this stuff in the bus and the hotel, share dosage tips and doctor contacts? If that's ever going to happen it will be between very close friends in a very intimate setting. It was established pretty clearly with Christophe Bassons that, if you run a team doping scheme, you do NOT want any clean riders to know about it. And if the Fuentes setup was one thing, it was professional.
