There's a short preview video of tomorrow show on their fb page where Di Luca is asked "how many riders out of 200 during a Giro d'Italia dope?" he answered "90%, it's impossible to do a top10 without doping".

Don't speak any Italian but this is pretty self explanatory : " Es imposible no utilizar el dopaje y terminar en el top 10 del Giro de Italia”."...Nibs and Cadrk about to lose some sleep?

i always thought that danilo will go out as he went in the races. with a full all-in attack! but i always thought that he wants to keep giro 2007 so i expected the confession for 2016 onwards

he says that 90% of pros are on it...i will tune tomorrow night for sure if such truths are spoken by the grande killer!

Names and details will be required. Otherwise its just a useless PR stunt ala Armstrong. Everybody doped, level playing field etc.

It's not Italian;)
Why would they. Nibali was a pup when do Luca was charging. Evans only did 1 giro till do Luca was banned 2nd time.

Di Luca has no cred. He says they dope. They say -**** you, you are trying to get some attention you drunk bone idle ****er. Who does the media side with?

Unless he names names, places, dates and situations, it won't amount to anything.

He is (probably *ahem*) getting paid though. May even be part one of many.

danilo is a multi millionaire. he just wants to take the whole thing down with him
won't matter much because "peloton is dirty" is not news

He could have taken them all down in December when he got the ban.

Could be between stages 2 and 3 of the Kübler-Ross model, lead time between taping and broadcasting or just picking the best offer possible.

Cycling Pro posted the whole interview.

He states a few wrong things imho, like that doping isnt dangerous at all and that even without doping the results would be exactly the same.

In the interview he doesn't sounds sorry but just sorry to have been caught.
He even says to be favorable to free doping.

He says Pharmstrong would have won the Tour without doping which goes against what the expert think. Reading the interview, the guy is full of ****.

Which expert(s)? Because I've yet to see Floyd, Tyler or JV say that Lance only won because of the doping. And I consider all three of them to be "experts" at both riding a bike and doping. :)

I believe the term that Floyd used to describe Lance as a cyclist was "kick a$$". Just sayin'.

He actually does sound a bit like a bitter, unrepentant doper there.

Unless he starts naming other riders and doctors im going to assume he is talking out of his ***.

Imo, yes he was a great talent but as a one day rider of hilly, explosive type races. No way he would have won a GT clean.
