Blood doping is and was every bit as prevalent this year and 09 as it was in 06. AC and plasticides should indicate that much.
You said earlier that he focused on certain TT stages. Why were his results worse in these stages than in 09, when he could be 'saving' himself? Logically your posts make no sense whatsoever. Prior to 09 he couldn't climb or TT with the very elite. According to your logic and focusing on the track, he should at least have been winning the Prologue or coming close.
Just the miracle of hard work. There is lots of that in pro cycling.
