Good Lord - he was brought up in East Germany under their sports program.  Of course he doped! 

If Jensie didn't dope while he was a pro, then he should be right pissed off because he got shafted and he should be right pissed off about it.

I still think he didn't. He says he was clean in this interview but also think that he understands why we wouldn't believe him.

JV: No I didn’t even know if I was tested then or not. Fuck it was 15 years ago. I don’t know if was tested or not.

CN: Okay. Regardless of that test (race) did you have anything from that time, from any of those Tours that would come back to concern you?

JV: No. No. I’m in a happy position.

Wikipedia lists his palmares. It seems he won more as the UCI testing improved and the sport began cleaning up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jens_Voigt#Palmares

However, we've already established that I'm gullible. :shrug:

Yeah, I remembered that was a good interview but I just word searched it for doping to find what I posted. I should probably go back and read the whole thing.

Mrtambourineman:
I hope you guys are right.
