the problem here is this:
McKewan rode for a bunch of dirty teams. All sprinters are dirty. His career was 1996-2011 (the last few years really winding down) essentially during the EPO and steroid era (making no comment on current era) of Festina and Lance. Likewise there is not the slightest shred of "proof", whiff or innuendo against the guy (which we all know means nowt).
My view is enjoy the racing he gave us over many years, a supreme bike handler perhaps the best of his generation, a tactical genius taking full advantage of more organised teams leadouts and other sprinters too early jumps, and with impeccable timing, you hardly ever saw the guy until the last 10m. His commentating at the TdU left the Phil and Paul looking like washed up has beens, a breath of fresh air.
