As you turn slightly and expose the excess shammy cream on your underside.". Then own random pets that are known to bite and scratch and always show off the latest pet injury during press conferences and take one to the press conference for added value. Have an unlit cigarette always in my mouth when not ridding. In the event of sighting a reporter doing actual investigative reporting (snooping around, yea never going to happen) do a role reversal and start following them around.

If not then blackmail using pictures of above should deter them spilling the beans

Alphabet said:I'd keep quiet, personally. I'd answer doping questions with 'no comment', or 'I'm not in a position to know anything about how widespread doping is in the sport outside of myself and my team mates'.
Much better than all these Omerta types 'The peloton has cleaned up! Nobody has touched a syringe since 2006!'

When asked if he had ever doped, the Norwegian replied, “The only thing I can say is that I know that I'm sitting here with a clear conscience. Meanwhile, people who have doped said the same thing before, but in my head, and here I have it safe and fine,” pointing to his heart.
ElChingon said:Your first paragraph describes the Omerta Type
Ferminal said:Natural for someone who is more worried about the damage to cycling's image caused by Armstrong than the actual doping.
Mad Elephant Man said:Why?
That is a stupid thing to say. For a cyclist to in any way liken themselves to Lance Armstrong is staggering. Unless he was trying to say he is going to dope like mad this year I cannot see much similarities in the breaks either.
