Peter Janssen (former team doctor of Skil and PDM(!) and author of a book about doping) has quit his job at vacansoleil in the second week of the vuelta. He didn't agree with where the team was going.
Now this is the guy who wrote in his book that EPO-use is healthier for a pro-cyclist than not taking it, as long as it's controlled and supervised by a doctor.
From a completely unreliable source:
"Janssen wanted to leave the team at the beginning of the season. He thought some of the riders (like L'Hotellerie) we're pushing the limits and seeking medical help somewhere else. Agreements were made, but in the second week of the vuelta something changed"
What changed?
Now this has some good speculation ground.
Did Vacansoleil push Hoogerland (or someone else) to go 'over the border' in order to keep his high place in the Vuelta and did Janssen want nothing to do with this?
The other way around?
What do we think?
