Zabel now Bjarne!


So Erik Zabel has admitted to doping in 1996, but only for a week. None of those green jersey's he won in the tour were a result of epo use. Are you sensing the sarcasm here. I like Zabel. If you have seen Hell on Wheels, you can't help but like him but c'mon dude only for a week? First Basso wanted to dope but never did it and now Zabel did but only for a week. Whatever......
So, that brings us to Bjarne Riis. Bjarne admitted today that he doped for many years and even admitted to doping during his tour victory. Bravo! It only took him 5 years after his retirement to admit to it. But, Atleast he did and boy when he did, he really did!
Yeah I took drugs. You betcha! I took them a long time. I'm not proud of it but I did it alot and You bet I did it during the tour I won. The yellow jersey is in a box. I'm not proud of it but everybody was doing it! Was I ambitious? Hell yes I was!
Some serious candor from Mister CSC. I like the guy and I appreciate his candor. He wants to move forward. He doesn't want his accomplishments with CSC to go tainted. I don't know how they can't with Basso, his relationship with Ceccini, and now this. Time will only tell, but it looks like we are finally getting somewhere in all of this.
Ciao for Now!
