He didn't win anything in 2006 and didn't have any super positions either. Given the number of claims that come out, they should provide all the evidence if they want to make an accusation. Media looking for attention.

Edit: I see this could be a couple of days old...

Rubbish. He was on T-Mobile in 2006. Of course he's guilty*, unless he can prove otherwise.

Top 10s in Switzerland and Catalunya aren't bad placings, nor is second in the TT at the Tour of Germany. Ok you could argue he didn't win anything, but the results could still be used to win himself a better contract (not sure if that was the case for '07) or secure selection for up coming races.

what does results have to do with anything? there are many dopers out there that will never get a major result but they still use.

True, all it can do is make someone who would never be able to keep the pace normally able to sit in the bunch.
