I had never heard the yellow bike story before. But it doesn't surprise me.

I hadn't until recently myself.  I agree.  I'm going to miss him too.

US ProCycling Challenge is on NBC. Phil Liggett just reminded everyone about an upcoming pre-season NFL game. A British accent and football just don't go together. :nono:

Ha! I just saw that story. He's not taking this "retirement" stuff very seriously.

Good question about doping.  He has said he never did it but he was most certainly riding when everyone else was doing it...I don't know.  And I am not sure I want to know.

I believe him. But we've already established that I'm gullible.

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.

CN: I don’t want to dwell on O’Grady as he’s not here and I know you have a personal relationship with him and have known him for a long time, but you are here, so when you heard they were going to reopen the samples did you have anything to worry about?

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.
