Defintely but to be honest most of that was his personality, so he deserves it really. I just read this from Savio (at the end of 2011) and it strikes me as true:
"It’s important to know that Rujano has very particular personality. I think it’s necessary to know him well, follow him and also be able to tell him “No” if it’s needed. I think that in some of the teams he went to the people around him always told him “yes, yes, yes” and made him believe he was the new God of cycling. And also, in the big teams he wasn’t being followed as well as he should have been by the team management. Somebody told him he was a champion, but the problem is that he was not a champion. He had the possibility to be one, but at that time he wasn’t a champion. Then when he came back to us and you saw what happened."

Klöden probably wasn't clean. C'mon, Astana, T-Mobile, Radioshack... In a 3, 4 year time, he will also admit he doped. |

Including "probably" in the sentence is very nice of you

My mistake, Bartoli was fourth, not Jalabert, but that doesn't change a thing...

Jalabert would get Bronze from the TT with Olano getting silver, unless they count Armstrong's result..

Freiburg investigation, had blood transfusions.
His girlfriend has had doping products bought online delivered to her house several times..
Radioshack/Discovery/Postal investigation
So yeah, he's been caught at least twice and nothing seems to stick. It's pretty ridiculous.

Not really news, but just noticed over half the Saxo squad is the wrong side of 30
Riis really needs to be slapped

Sadly the Euskaltel driver Rufino Murgia has died after that crash. RIP.

A fun interview with Pat McQuaid with a journalist who actually asks some proper questions. Worth a listen:
