Cloxxki said:Are we back to believing in miracles then? What's this different from Armstrong winning his pro worlds? And Nelissen won a few years further down the doping road. Not sure a random clean pro is supposed to win the amateur worlds so convincingly. Nice fairytale though. I watched those worlds live. Just working from memory, but he seemed by far the best rider, recovering well from efforts. Keeping on going.
A little bit convenient to only start doping after your most impressive race. Like Leipheimer quitting the program before his strongest races. Or Armstrong going clean to podium the TdF as an old come back guy.
Of course, he could be lying still. I don't know, I wasn't there. Personally I have enough reason to believe him.
But then if it is your belief that a clean rider can never win a race of any importance, so be it, no need for me to start a conversation anymore. It's a waste of energy discussing with someone who starts analyzing everything using a few propositions. Too close-minded for me.
