Speaking out

given that every team has someone or many with connections to doping in the past -e.g. EPO 1990s -00ss should they be allowed to criticise other teams and talk tough on anti-doping or shut it cause they once did it. Iainf has a point but does that not mean silence by all is needed as most if not all are hypocrits. I disagree with Iain...

Interesting one Dave.

I would say that it's obviously a massive issue and does need to be continuously addressed.

But should it be used as propaganda in team on team attacks? I personally don't think so no. But then again what measures could be put in place to prevent this from happening.

I think that the riders on the Protour have a decent amount of respect for each other in general, and wouldn't directly accuse one another of doping - they will get close, but no direct accusations. Similar to when Stuart O'Grady was talking about getting caught in the 2006 tour by Landis, there was no direct accusation, but it wasn't difficult to understand what he was getting at.

Remind me again who Stuey O'Grady has ridden for? Bit bloody quiet about his own team mates by comparison.
