I've asked before and got mixed posts. Some claim he was clean, others say he was doping, any proof either way?

I'm pretty sure he was, even though he claims he wasn't. But if he's like Wonderboy(LA), he could be fibbing.He was a Tour winning rider that already got top 10s in the Armstrong era if that helps.
Wasn't he also a Ferrari client?
There was even a post about meeting him early on during his career on Ferrari's website/blog, if I remember correctly.He was a Tour winning rider that already got top 10s in the Armstrong era if that helps.

Evans and his meeting with Ferrari?
http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/news/40401/doping-never-discussed-with-ferrari-says-evans Anthony Tan, you banned me from twitter when I called you out on wilful ignorance of doping. And you are now jumping on a bandwagon, like Klaus Muller. What a joke. Linda Pierce the cycling beat...forum.cyclingnews.com
Cadel Evans is a Clean Champion
So says Tyler Hamilton, here. Probably few in the peloton know more about who's dirty, who's clean, and what's what in pro cycling, than Tyler Hamilton. TH is naming names and kicking behinds, and he says Cadel is clean. What do you say? Is there a clean champion, and is it Cadel Evans?forum.cyclingnews.com
"I think you have to question some of the results of the past (but) I don't think you have to question Cadel Evans' result from last year's Tour de France."
"From what I've heard about Cadel Evans, he's a true champion."
"He's always been a big anti-doping advocate."
"I can't say anything negative about Cadel Evans. I've a lot of respect for Cadel Evans."
He seems to have lightened up a lot since he retired if recent interviews are anything to go by.
The don't touch me episode was simply because he had had a bad fall and his shoulder was painful. Maybe some people didn't know that at the time or forgot.
As with most folklore its a mixture of truth and myth...........I think you're doing the Cadel Evans folklore a disservice by handwaving one of his most famous little outbursts, i.e. plenty of riders have been hurt, plenty have been knocked or touched, most don't go full rage.
It's just the way he was. No point denying it.
"Cadel used to brag he was the only Australian with a Ferrari engine"
The best part of that article is the tactical suicide of Tommy V!Here's a link to Ferrari's version of their meeting in 2000, Rominger was the "connector" who set it up:

Ferrari's articles about the gts and the spring classics were always nice to read, it's almost a shame that he stopped after 2016The best part of that article is the tactical suicide of Tommy V!![]()
Lol, a 174cm 67kg guy podiuming grand tours and winning world champships in the dirtiest years of the sport. This thread is a joke
