Double standards are a beautiful thing when they work in your favor. |

There are facts against armstrong, so your argument is quite invalid

I apologize. Just wanted to make a point that people are treated differently and are often called dopers without proper evidence. I will stop. |

Rest assured I agree with that point. It's how society works, sadly.

they interviewed Dekker before Boxmeer criterium
The whole Volkskrant story was invented. Dekker only had 2 out of competition controls in the entire season, so there couldn't be made any conclusion out of that. Neither was any of it true.
His next goal are the worlds, and he kept saying his contract runs till 2009.
So, it seems all this was a storm in a glass of water |

That's actually worrying. 2 out of competition controls? That's nothing. |

the letter of the UCI, which states Dekker is not part of the 23 riders with strange values, and is not suspected of anything
So there, that's done.
Also, Garmin Chipotle, Team CSC, Team Columbia and Astana have all openly stated they are interested in signing Thomas Dekker |

But from what I've heard, Dekker doesn't want to stay, and Rabobank is in a desperate struggle with themselves, they pictured Dekker as the new icon for the next ten years. But, they noticed Dekker doesn't actually like doing everything they tell him to, he likes to go his own way. |

What do you mean by that? Because I'm not sure which part you are referring to, but I think I'm not going to agree with you. |

I hope he leaves. He deserves to be a team leader now, hes had too many seasons at Rabo being a domestique come the big tours. |
