Doesn't take much character to admit it once you are caught, or after you competitive days are over.
Real character is to avoid the temptation to begin with and not dope at all.
I tend to agree. He waits till its all about to come out whether he likes it or not (that's officially coming out USADA case). Waits till the devil is shackled (if only verbally) so to speak and the UCI is back pedaling or to busy to come by a knocking or mention their new rules to him (which they the UCI has yet to apply to any team, officially).
Then to top it off, how does he face Millar to discuss why he's not doing any time and Millar even spent some time in a French Jail and his two year ban. Will the young riders then think, "as long as I keep my mouth shut, its all OK, it worked for Johnny V and look now he's a DS of a ProTour team! He didn't do any time, no ban not fuss.". Yes, the great examples keep on coming.
