[quote="Paul H"]If you doped in the past, I dont think you can ever be classed as a clean rider as I suspect you will have gained some permanent benefits from training and racing at a higher level while under the influence.
You're right and that goes for half the present day peloton. He's got to be one of the most tested riders in pro cycling. He has never tested positive for anything. it's pretty clear that it's his blood in blood bag 18 that contained EPO but did he ever use it? He deserves the ban. Let's move on.
