Yes. Having one is unfortunate, two well …

I also notice Freeman was doctor at Bolton Wanderers for a period which was their best for nigh on 60 years.

Yes. Pure conjecture and circumstantial evidence but it makes it harder to believe.

Hessmann suspended today too. The old Rabobank habits at Jumbo die hard.

I think the point with Armstrong is you needed to believe in myths like a cancer survivor wouldn't dope to not think he was guilty by the point he was actually found guilty. It didn't need conjecture.

Again, there was hard evidence against Armstrong with witnesses that needed the shield to be ignored.

I'm not saying Froome waa clean or not, I have no truck in the game but Armstrong is not the same.

Obviously a doctor banned for actions taken while working for the team is grounds for suspicion and investigation.

Professional sportspeople cheat. Footballers hold opponents at set-pieces and dive, cricketers ball tamper and claim catches that don't carry. Having the right pillow or a top notch chef doesn't make a journeyman into a winner and certainly doesn't make a none doper beat a doper

People cheat full stop. It's not a professional only thing.
