FLandis was caught out with Rasmussen, Ricco, Vino, Schumacher, etc. during the three short years that the ASO decided that they would do something about doping. After the ASO management was changed at the end of 2008, the Tour and the whole sport went right back to where it was before 2006. Why should FLandis want to make himself any more of a scapegoat than he already is?
The real way forward for him would be to tell all about Postal. Just admitting that he himself doped would open himself up to further villification, and you can bet that McQuaid would make the most of it.
While I disagree that it would open him up to public villification, you are on to something perhaps within the industry sport itself.. the villification within the sport and among his peers is likely. If he comes clean first he gains public support and perhaps and his integrity is neutralized in the least.
He should come clean for himself; not me, not the sport, not the media.....once he has peace then he can determine the pros and cons of outing his peers. Once he is at peace, time will build the integrity he has lost with the past lies.
He would have to approach the big question in a tactful manner. The reasoning priority should be for the glory and integrity of the sport then and not himself. He should go into the basement and write it all out. Detail, time line, rider names, sponsor names, dr names, everyone who knows, everyone involved from the masseuse to the cook to the manager to the sponsors.
If done correctly one could shift the blame in the public Eye back to the sport itself as a whole. Right now the sport itself is doping a good job pointing the finger at individual riders on the free will argument. When, in my humble opinion is is bigger as the riders are a product of their environment.
There is risk, I mean he would never be able to ride a Trek again.....
