Hopefully things here will get back on an even keel once the season gets into full swing.

I'm not sure why Liggett gets such a tough time.

He's a TV presenter - not really up to him to talk about doping

Exactly. So when he became Armstrong's spokesman (during the USADA stuff) a lot of people lost respect for him.

The irony of winners and losers is that some of the dopers who had decent careers and didn't end up a wreck - and seemingly winners - were actually in part losers.

For example, George Hincapie has been cited as a winner - and he's certainly done. But Vaughters reckoned that with no doping he would have won far more than he did.

Similarly there is much to suggest that Valverde was genuinely one of the best talents of his generation, maybe the best - yet his achievements are, rightly, sullied. With no doping he may have been one of the greats.
