Yesterday on Twitter Johan Bruyneel tried to make fun of former pro cyclist and now cycling commentators and anti doping spokesman Mads Kaggestad. Kaggestad was domestic for Thor Hushoved in CA. Bruyneel asked Kaggestad how riding clean worked out, trying to make fun of him for being clean.
Well, I guess we really know Bruyneels contribution to sport…
Kaggestad @JohanBruyneel thats an insult towords me and all the riders who tried to compete clean

@Mads_Kaggestad@andrewmcquaid@SSbike - I think for starters you should ask yourself the question how you made it to pro cycling.

@Mads_Kaggestad@andrewmcquaid@SSbike - you got on Credit Agricole because you were a friend of Hushovd. That’s the reality.

@Mads_Kaggestad@andrewmcquaid@SSbike - I don’t think that winning the GP Ringerike would be enough to earn a spot in the top league.
The unrepentant arrogance of Armstrong/Bruyneel doesn’t surprise me. That’s why I feel special antipathy toward them. There are other top pros/directors who were just as into doping, but at least they have the good manners to pretend to think it was wrong.
Uh? I what tweet did Bruyneel criticize anyone for being clean? He told a rider he only made it to a pro team because of Hushovd, fair enough, there are more riders like that. I see a response from the rider about being clean, but do not see anything from Bruyneel talking about doping or being clean.
I think you are making something out of nothing here.
This topic is complete bullshit. None of what the OP suggests with the title is mentioned in any of the tweets. Lame.
Bruyneel is saying everybody doped to justify his actions. He gets called out on it and ask how how riding clean worked out. Of course Bruyneel does not like Kaggestad, Kaggestad was outspoken against doping when he was riding and after. Bruyneel was and is pro doping.

Guy reaches out to Bruyneel to say that he is offended because in an interview a few weeks ago Bruyneel said everybody doped during the infamous Armstrong times.
Bruyneel’s response is to call the guy out and tell him he’s a nobody in pro cycling and only became a pro because he was friends with Hushovd. And that’s true as the other Norwegian guy meant absolutely nothing in pro cycling.
Bruyneel did not criticize anyone for racing clean in this tweet feed. He doesn’t say how riding clean worked out. He asked how it worked to become a pro when you don’t have the talent to be a pro.
