Is Museeuw finally admitting to it (his whole career)?

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/museeuw-calls-for-doping-confessions-from-past-riders

In the 80s and 90s everyone knew what each other was doing but never said a word about doping.

Everyone is obviously not true of course, some still very probably were riding clean but the least you can say is that it implies himself, isn't it?

By January 2006 Museeuw finally admitted that "by the end of my career I made a mistake."

A little later that year, several ex Telekom finally admitted to it as well.

That triggered a reaction by Edwig Van Hooydonck who repeated once again that his results came down when EPO, testosteron, HGH became widespread in the peloton and that many Belgians came to Italy because they had no future in Belgium. And asked about Museeuw, he answered he was one of them. And when asked on which basis he thinks Museeuw doped all his career long he replied that he found him abnormally strong notably when he beat him at the (his!) Flèche brabançonne 1996. Edwig thought he was fresher because Museeuw raced Harelbeke the day before and not him. Yet he dropped him easily on Alsemberg.

During the series De Flandriens Edwig was angry to learn that Museeuw thought he could counter his attack on the Bosberg. For Museeuw at that time was not the rider he would later become (he still rode for Lotto).

Does Eddy Bosberg finally get it right?
