I've heard some speculation that Trek will buy the license from Becca even though it only lasts this year, so that Bruyneel can get his money from Becca.
Armstrong pulling the strings?

Bruyneel did not refute those allegations outright in the Humo interview, but he did deny that he had placed his riders’ health at risk. “These accusations hit me very heavily and when my mother calls me in tears because she has read something bad about me, that breaks my heart,” Bruyneel said. “I can look anyone in the eye, I’ve never put anyone’s health at risk.”
Bruyneel also expressed his belief that the details of US Postal’s doping programme would never have been uncovered had Armstrong not come out of retirement in 2009 and had RadioShack offered Floyd Landis a contract in 2010. Landis’ emails to USADA in April 2010 triggered the federal and sporting investigations into the US Postal Service team that ultimately led to Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life.
“If Armstrong had not come back and if I had included Landis in the squad again, all of this would never have happened. I am two hundred percent convinced of that. Without those two facts, we would be talking completely differently,” Bruyneel said.

Brain dead comments like this are why his attorney has told him not to say anything. After all the lying & PR these guys did I'm surprised he and la are so dumb as to say this in public.

He is so rotten he does not know that he can not say that to save face.

No regrets, no remorse, just "we got caught"....Wow.....In short, "I could have gone on with my program, won piles of GTs and become the greatest Directeur"
These guy has no thoughts about the health of the cyclists or the integrity of cycling.

JRTinMA said:It's 100% true! The problem is he's moaning about getting caught, not the role he played in one of the biggest cases of sporting fraud in history.
Bruyneel was brought up when the Humo article on Contador first appeared because he was known to have written either for them or for a newspaper of the same editorial group (I forget).Glenn_Wilson said:Curious if anyone else has caught the coincidence?
Low down and dirty to do something like that. Roll around with swine....
Hey that is just Team Pork Skins for ya.

Moose McKnuckles said:Armstrong said the same thing in the Oprah interview. Both of these guys are scum.
ToreBear said:It's the Hein Verbruggen doping test.
If you could look him in the eye while saying you're not doping, you were clean. Followed by a vigorous defense in interviews.
DirtyWorks said:Fixed that for you. Let's call it the Never Ever, Ever, Ever Test. Or maybe, Never Tested Positive Test.
Schadenfloyd.... Will you be using that joke in your stand up routine at the Chuckle Hut?
Johan is so far into the sports fraud he cannot tell down from up. Of course, it helps if the people running the UCI can't tell down from up either....
