    Nicole Cooke would be the most disappointing. In the men probably someone like Voeckler.

    I can't stand Voigt and always thought he was at least as likely as anyone else to be at it.

    Schlecks as they are legends, Cancellara, Lance.

    Other than that I'd be dissapointed if Cav had doped but I can't really picture it tbh. Is it me or do fewer sprinters seem to be caught doping?

    Hondo & Petacchi spring to mind.

    Yes - he shot my grandfather. That and his carping about the crit in the Giro, the race radio ban and his crying about the Mavic service the other day plus his stupid aero helmet in the Chris Boardman hour record documentary.

    Abdu tested positive. Zabel didnt but admitted taking stuff in 1996 but i think sprinters generally dont seem to test positive as much

    It wouldnt surprise me if anyone tested positive but i would be very disappointed if anyone tested positive who i cling to the belief that they are clean. That would be any of the Garmins plus Moncoutie and Gilbert. Team Colombia arent far behind either.

    Have to say this is the only thing i have against him.

    He's a representitive for all active riders which explains the moaning.

    Sir Chris, followed by Wiggins, Cav and Millar in no particular order, followed by Boonen, because I really want to believe it's possible for someone to have "recreational" drug and emotional issues but never cheat.

    Lance

    Voigt

    Cancellara

    Personally, I'd be devastated if I was busted, since I ride clean.

    No comment - I'd be gutted if certain riders were cheating though.

    Wiggins. If he's at it - and his current transformation does raise a few questions even if, like me, you previously had 100% faith in the bloke, which is a reflection of the damage cycling has done to itself over the last 20 years that I even worry about it - I'm going to put my bike in a crusher-upper and take up playstation.

    I would be gutted if any of the British riders tested positive especially Wiggins and Cav (but also the olympic cyclists). It would undo all of the good work that British Cycling has done in the ten years and would do a great job of destroying the sport in this country.

    I would also be sad if any of the leading contenders tested positive, Contador, Armstrong (although I know plenty of people would be delighted if he tested positive!), Evans, The Shreks and also Cancellara because he's quite cool.

    I was gutted when Rasmussen was implicated in doping as I was a big fan of his.

    Sorry to be parochial, but I agree.
    Also Sastre, Cancellara, Voigt, Evans. As for Contador - not really, there is something about him I don't like - shifty, smug looking, and his stupid pistol celebration - harsh I know.

    I kind of agree about Bertie, I did like him but there was something about his interview after yesterday's stage, something in his eyes I can't quite put my finger on. I wonder if his performance is too good to be true? It would be incredibly dissapointing if he was nicked however, for the tour and the sport in general (we need a controversy-free TDF this year).

    Luigi or Classicomano are the ones attributed to you-know-who.

    Yes, I think that's whats tainting my view of him (the power of suggestion!)

    He had no dog, so he was nicknamed after his coach? He wasn't the only Cecchini client there. Surely a cause for confusion.
