...and Contador who they are trying to ban a low one. Vino scored low as well, maybe he is riding clean these days but he was hardly full of remorse when he was caught so I tend to be a bit suspicious that he's turned over a new leaf.

Anyone know if this data has been verified? You can't help but start forming opinions on the names that have high scores - it would be reassuring to know the numbers are legit.

Would you be saying that if LA had a higher score?

There's no explanation of how the scores are worked out and without that it's pretty meaningless. On my own, completely arbitrary scale, Geraint Thomas seems like a nice young man and moreover is British and therefore above suspicion. Contador is a self-confessed Spaniard. Popyvych is not only riding very strongly but also has an Eastern European sounding name.

Actually, given their performance, the only person in Team Sky who is on drugs is Brailsford.
