Reactions
Marc Madiot (directing sportsman of the Frenchwoman of the Plays): "is it still necessary to react to all these stories? Is that still used for something? It is catastrophic. There is a thing which is sure: there had been household in fact before the Turn. But all were known that all the housework had not been done. (In connection with Turn 2006 presented like that of the revival), I tended to want to believe in it. Am I surprised? Yes and not. It is easy to say not today. (On the danger that this business makes run in the future of the Turn) One will not say that the Turn of France goes well. Now, I hope that it is the last stab which will make it possible to go at the bottom of the trick. I always believe in it.
The fact that it is Landis (note: and not a second knife) which was caught, it is still an evil for a good. Ca will strike the spirits more extremely. Me, in my team, I have young runners. They did not make a bicycle in 1998 (at the moment of the Festina business). They gain races. One can gain without doping oneself. Even great races. To gain great races, that will come with time. The person of Landis has only little interest in the history. One knows which is the cheaters. One knows which is the eminent doctors dopeurs in the world. They should be put outside. In the group, there is even which was praised to be looked after by these people there. It is necessary to get rid some ".
Cyril Dessel (7th of the Turn of France and 1st French, on RMC): "I am shocked by this revelation. One cannot too what think about it. It is sure that one should not draw the too hasty conclusions. The counter-evaluation should be awaited obviously. One can say that if it is proven, it is still one very very large blow for cycling. After the difficult beginnings that one had been able to know on the Lathe of France with the Puerto business (of the name of the police survey carried out in Spain, note), if the winner of the Turn of France positive, I were really controlled think that it would be really a large hard blow for the Turn. I think that these would be worst blows that cycling could receive ".
Christophe Bassons (old runner of Feasted and the Frenchwoman of the Plays, withdrawn of the group since 2001, regarded as "clean Mr." of cycling): "It is a pity still. One did not have to be done too many illusions. There still were titles in the specialized magazines, according to which it was really a turn with human face. They were mistaken well! When I see the average when Landis gained in Morzine (37,175 km/h), me all alone on the dish, I hardly arrived at 35 km/h at the drive, him all alone almost 38 in mountain, it is relatively impressive. It is easy to say it now, but I remember the arrival of Morzine, it is one of rare that I saw, and I was impressed by the nervousness that there was, his glance. Now, to be made take with testosterone, it is an error of beginner, it is really idiotic. To play with testosterone whereas one has the possibility of using growth hormones, corticoids without being likely to be controlled positive, it is there that I do not include/understand, I find that extremely astonishing ".
Koos Moerenhout (HOL/équipier de Floyd Landis at Phonak): "I am very moved. The sky falls me on the head. I never noticed anything in the team concerning a possible catch of doping product. And I still hope that the analysis of the sample B will be able to bring explanations and an explanation to us ".
Erik Breukink (HOL/manager of the team Rabobank Dutchwoman): "It is dramatic for the cycling which saw a quite black period definitely. That also proves that the fight antidopage must still improve. The teams in vain take measures against doping, it remains always individuals whose behavior is not easily controllable. It is really a drama. The Turn had already well badly begun with exclusions from Basso and Ullrich (in particular) and here are that three days after the arrival, one can already stripe the name of the winner. (to explain positive control after the victory of Landis in the 17th stage) I imagine that Landis was desperate after its failure in the sixteenth stage ".
Laurent Fignon (old double prize winner of the Turn, on RMC): "I have two feelings. I am at the same time very sad, obviously, because considering the context, I have a little evil to include/understand the motivations of certain runners to be continued to cheat, and I am also satisfied owing to the fact that it was caught. Obviously it does not have there as many businesses in do the other sports but seek as much as us? It is the question which one can put. Us all the cheaters are sought, one does many efforts in the fight against doping and the result it is that one is able to catch them. One catches much of it. But obviously I am extremely sad to learn that a winner of the Turn was taken positive and that the face of the Turn would have been changed if it had not been there ".
Patrick Lefevere (BEL/président of the association of the professional cyclists teams and manager of the team Quick Step, at the Belga agency): "It is a true catastrophe after what we lived at the beginning of the Turn (the exclusion of several runners). We must await the result of the counter-evaluation, but most of the time it confirms the first control. Some will never learn. These people kill cycling. It is a real catastrophe which the winner of the Turn is positive. They refused (the team) Astana at the beginning. It is time now that the UCI raises the question about Phonak. Eight or nine positive cases in three years: it cannot be chance any more ".
Jean-Rene Bernaudeau (to manage of the team Bouygues Telecom, with the microphone of Europe 1): "I feel abatement at the beginning, then dislike if it is confirmed. I wonder whether people will be able to continue to damage our sport without receiving dissuasive sanction. Some have problems of culture, with the culture of gains. We, we seek to know what there is behind the runner. I believe that we will be à.la.mode."
Thomas Voeckler (FRA/Bouygues Telecom): "That irritates me. But with force, I am more disappointed surprised. One is not any more with one scandal of doping close unfortunately... That shows that there are always runners which take people for imbeciles. That proves once again that one is made fly by cheaters. The public still will feel floué. It will tend to put everyone in the same bag and one could not be upset with him ".
