None of it is "true", it all sounds like it could be coming straight from Tim Herman's mouth.
Pretty clear to me that all pros who react this way are dopers too. And as for that clean Spanish rider, I'm sure there are a lot......we've just never heard of them internationally. Sadly this is probably true of most nationalities.

OMG so many of you are overreacting, I mean it's obvious Alberto's just trying to save himself. Alberto knows what Lance did, he isn't ***.
If Alberto had said the exact opposite the reactions would've been almost the same.

Wait what as if hoping he's put in jail isn't enough you also wish him dead

“In my opinion, at certain times, there has been a total lack of respect for Lance,” Contador said, according to the EFE news agency. “From my point of view, he was been humiliated and lynched. He has been destroyed. If cycling is popular in the United States, it’s thanks to him. If they know the Tour, it’s thanks to him.”
The one who is now being destroyed, had destroyed others to perpetuate the omertà, lies and fraud, while making millions on it Alberto. Has dragged the sport through the mud with his continued insolence and you defend him?
No LA did not make the Tour known in America, Lemond did. He may have increased people's awareness, mostly uninformed and uncritical folks, though he did not make the French race known; whereas now he will certainly curtail the growth of the sport in the US for some time to come. He has done only damage to the sport, which is your profession, while you and your Spanish nationals are only making your country’s cycling the laughing stock of the world with idiotic comments like these.
Do you realize the damage you have done to the sport with your own positive for clenbuteral? Do you have any idea of the perception this gives of your state's cycling culture, in supporting Armstrong now against the overwhelming evidence, beyond Gibraltar and the Pyrenees?
Can you not fathom how you will now be viewed attacking on Alpe d'Huez at next year's event? 'Dopage' and 'Omertà' on signs by the hundreds.
Do you not realize that your country, already in grave financial standing with the EU and the world, finds little approval for its sport culture abroad (at places where you race and earn a livelyhood), which intolerably provincial and nonsensical assertions from a champion at the outskirts of Madrid only further denigrates?
With all your earnings get a translator who can help you read the English, French, German and Italian dailies, so that you will be dissuaded from making comments that only ruin your credibility and international fan base.

Sigh.
You've just lost a supporter Alberto. I'm not a fair weather friend, I've defended him on this forum previously. His comments show a complete lack of awareness of the current situation.
Does anyone know of any, as yet undoped, Faroe Island pig farmer riding the next tour I can support?

Guys, your true colors have come out. Or perhaps Flo's account has been hacked by Valverde, and Airstream's by the corsican mafia respectively.

I do see it that way. Alberto understands Italian pretty well I've seen in interviews and his English has improved massively. How do you think he communicates with his team if his English is non-existant?

dlwssonic said:Most of the stuff he said are actually true
Maybe you should just think before pouncing on any rider who does not criticise armstrong
Any rider who still defends and supports Armstrong, the greatest fraud in sports history, adds to the problem.
Contador, a convicted dope cheat, supports Armstrong for a very clear reason. The guy is afraid of what could come out of the investigation, as mikeemus and Benotti have noted. He was on the same team as Armstrong and used Pepe Marti.
Virtually nothing Contador said is true. As USADA mentioned, evidence was still coming in this summer and fall. The affidavits are new. Ashenden's comments about Lance's likely doping practices in 2009 and 2010 are new. Armstrong's involvement with Ferrari went beyond 2005.
Lance hasn't even come close to being humiliated to the level he deserves. His defenders, like Contador, deserve the same humiliation. They're the type of people who reinforce the barrier that keeps clean cyclists like Mercier out of the sport.

Road forum is to discuss racing and He's a very good and exciting bike racer.
Clinic forum is to discuss doping matters and he's an unrepentant doper saying stupid things.
So, it's perfectly understandable.
