LOL, Happychappy trolling but no ones taking the bait. :D



The case isn't about him so unless he is directly asked I think saying anything would just bring him trouble that he doesn't need.

A fair point, but given his first GT was won under Johan's tutelage, I'm not sure how long he can rely on "well no one asked me." I guess we'll see how it plays out.

2009 is still available to compare the two. And frankly I'll take 2011 as well--an injured and fatigued Contador was still only a notch below a healthy Andy Schleck. I think barring the injuries and lost time from the first stage, Contador would have, at a minimum, finished on the podium (I think the Giro took too much out of him to win the overall).

True but then Andy might have attacked more in the Pyrennes, instead of waiting for the Alps.

Anything less than the truth will sound stupid so he won't say anything. If he is honest he will be banned again. Don't expect much.
