Museeuw calls for doping confessions

[LauraLyn]

When riders are dirty, who cares who's dirtier or the dirtiest. They are dirty, period.

Whether you be Museeuw, Ballan, Ullrich, Rebellin, Pantani, Chiappucci, Berzin, Vandenbroucke, Bortolami, Contador, Bartoli, Vinokourov, Armstrong or Mickaël Larpe.

All dirty (with EPO, blood dope or hormone-based dope) and there's evidence for it. All in the same bag and thrown into the garbage truck.

They are all equal in this. They've committed the essential crime that contains all the others in itself (to paraphrase Orwell).

I'd say that when this is accepted, we can move on.

I agree. They are dirty, period. But I don't see us getting all the dirty riders off the face of the earth, nor do I see that as desirable.

I am afraid this sport cannot move on without the assistance of (formerly) dirty riders, dirty teams, dirty organizations, and dirty sponsors.

I just don't see the tabala rasa coming to meet the peleton on the horizon.
