    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    I read this yesterday (probably posted elsewhere I would imagine): http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/5987/Contador-decision-due-soon-rider-threatens-to-quit-cycling-whatever-the-outcome.aspx
    "I am so disillusioned that I am thinking about giving up cycling, irrespective of what the UCI decides," Contador said, according to El Mundo.

    That's not a problem. Professional cycling will continue without him.

    Perhaps Bernard Kohl could help him get a decent job outside cycling. OK so the money might not be as good but he hopefully wouldn't have to stick needles in his arm and be forced to eat dodgy meat or plastic bags. Or lie on television*.

    * although if he's innocent, as he claims, then he's not lying. But either way cycling will be fine, it really will.
    Aspire not to have more, but to be more.

    As much as I'd like him to be innocent, the persecution complex is embarrassing.

    He can't fail to realise that the cynicism is natural, but his media counteroffensive could be much better. Sounding off like a little girl won't endear him to many.

    I actually agree completely but there is no right way to behave is there!?

    LA is aggresive and we don't like it, Floyd uses science and we don't like it, Vino plays deaf and we don't like it, Tyler makes up fairy tales...Riccardo, Millar, Kohl, Basso...

    Ultimately, their reputation is on the line and any course of action to defend that will upset somebody. Hard to feel sympathy if he has cheated but he is somewhat backed into a corner. Damned whatever he does.

    If he did do it I would love to see him come clean and promptly but, if you use history as a barometer for likely punishment, then why on earth would he?

    Not at all. Still, manning up would be a start.

    That it all looks very contrived doesn't help. My sincerest apologies if he's volatile enough to come out with statements about possibly quitting, but it contradicts the image he typically conveys, timid pot shots at Lance aside.
