he can be the clean team that doesn't approve of doping and takes a hard line, but he really has to come clean about His past and explain it thenj, rather than beoijg lowkey and evasive.
or he can be like every one else and hire known dopers and say the past is the past, but shit up about how holier tha n thou his team is, but if his team is so proactive and they really don't care about results if they have to get them by doping why do riders on the team keep getting sanctioned, including one this week.
Why? Because you want him to? Every person in cycling knows he doped. Every potential rider, every sponsor he gets onboard. He tells schoolchildren for christ sake. Theyre not being selfrightous, theyre simply saying what theyre doing.
The guy on the team got sanctioned this week had nothing to do with doping. Hell he was at races for 2 of those 3 "whereabouts violation" where he was actually tested, not hiding in his shower for 30 minutes while the guy from anti-doping waited outside. he didnt have an anti-doping violation, but thats all people see is "suspended because of not being where he said he would be". Its because the whereabouts system is archaic mess of paperwork. Think of the worst system imaginable to report your time at work, and then think 10 times worse than that, and thats the whereabouts system.
