Why was it distasteful? It was hardly dropping a bomb, it was born out of conversations here over a period of time, and then was added to his wiki. It was more that wiki initially refused to accept it was the reason so much was made of it. The timing had nothing to do with the tour of california.. Oh hang on, yes it was, and didnt it send waves of controversy through the tour. NOT. And besides Joe wasnt really involved in the editing of the wiki page until the final tidy up. He was involved more in the discussions about what would be condsidered sources. If you read the discussion and history you will see it was me (dim) that did the main edit. Joe and others just tidied up my grammar.
Sorry, next time we decide to post a doping allegation about a rider we will do it in the depths of november when nobody will notice.
And its most certainly true. Its on wiki
