francois. i wonder why everybody feels illegal drugs and ferrari are a black and white issue. personally i think it is clear ferrari knows his way around an EPO regimen. frankly i would expect no less for an ultra-elite level man such as he, if for no other reason than to fully know what you are up against. but, and further, i can believe ferrari has used that knowledge with certain riders.

HOWEVER

is it so far a stretch to ALSO believe that it is possible that ferrari also knows quite a bit MORE ? that he is able to deliver to his clients knowledge and guidance and testing on things such as advanced use of an altitude tent, recovery and advanced testing procedures, and similar ?? all this perhaps bolstered by knowledge of - but not INCLUDING use of PEDS ??? it does not seem so far fetched to me, to think that a fellow such a LA could go to ferrari and say something like " doc, i can't use EPO and that shit - but i am willing and able to do whatever else you got that's legal that will get me as close to that crap as you can - i'll freaking live in an altitude tent if i have to- whatever it takes, man", and then do it.

this is, more or less, what LA has many times said his relationship with ferriri entails. why do people gloss over the possibility that it is what happened (s), i wonder.
