Zoncolan said:My thoughts exactly.
Look at Basso - he did his time, came back and won a wonderful Giro.
Mind you, Valverde got a sweet deal - won several big classics and a Vuelta in the meantime.
Personally, I think they should have banned him back in '06.
He's got
LBL, two Tour stages, VaE, San Sebastian, Dauphine, Romandie, klasika primavera and several other results while he should've been out.
I don't know about you, but I think most pros would be more than happy with a palmares with nothing but those races...
