He's retired so would he bother getting a version of a kit (for a team he doesn't ride for) made up with stars n' stripes bands, purely for training runs?

he's an omertist and unrepentant doper who made millions off the backs of clean riders, yet he's one of the most respected people in the peloton...
Bannockburn said:Completely correct. The fact this guy gets any respect whatsoever is a testament to the endless mountain we climb. He's as big of a fraud as they come.

Pro Cycling Legend George Hincapie To Open Boutique Hotel In South Carolina
http://www.gadling.com/2013/04/20/p...boutique-hotel-in-sou/?a_dgi=aolshare_twitter
I must book my holiday there - Hotel "Domestic", how about Hotel "taking the p**s"
Picked it up on twitter from:
Brendan gallagher @gallagherbren 2h
@jeffconnor12
a man who played the system and then cashed in his chips when it suited. Win on the way up, win on the way down etc etc

George Hincapie has opened this s**** hotel. Enthusiastic doper who effectively avoided any ban. He's all right jack http://aol.it/Zc6tJ7
Becky Hart @BeckyFlashHart 3h
Shame those whose results and so earnings were ruined by dopers don't have the kind of funds to open a hotel... they win on the way up etc

WTF...how does this guy get a complete pass, and now companies are actually paying him to be their spokesperson for cycling and buying their gear at this new retailer outfit?!?!
Amazing, so sick of the double standard for Lance and pretty much every other American cyclist who doped and came "clean" (see what I did there?), just because they went after Lance.
Sorry, more of a venting post.
About to fire off an email to the retailer and let them have it. Why would I want to go buy stuff from these guys when they have a lifetime doper as a spokesperson? Yeah, progress in this sport, or just bad judgement on their behalf....

What a prince. He dopes to get a career, fame, and a thriving company. Without it, he'd be burger flipper.ebandit said:WTF BIG George is a world apart from lance..................he deserves respect as his evidence was the death knell for lance's defence
+ BIG George lost results............only yesterday stuey surpassed BIG George's record of greatest number of tour rides after George lost one of his rides from the records
even though BIG Georde gets by being a nice guy he is too known as a doper

hrotha said:It's pretty obvious not all the affidavits are necessarily truthful in all regards. They tell the truth about what USADA already knew, and twist the facts in their favour or outright lie in matters that USADA knew less about. It's a classic Raskolnikov.
I didn't find Hincapie's affidavit to be the most questionable of the lot. That'd be Leipheimer's, followed by Danielson's.
