Good stuff from Gaumont. Wow in 7 years at Cofidis there was only 1 clean rider?
I like that he is saying what I've said here before, namely, you can't expect the sport to do a 100% about-fact and suddenly clean itself up when the federations, team managements and apparently, even some of the anti-doping organizations themselves are filled with people who were in the sport when doping was endemic and accepted. We are only one step removed from the time when the same doctors who were doping riders were in charge of the anti-doping testing. Until we are 3 or 4 steps removed and probably not even then, doping will remain a major problem in cycling.

In today's testimony Gaumont has apparently outed Stuey O'Grady specifically as one of the dopers. Nice, I seem to recall O'Grady recently mouthing off about the dopers and cheaters. I wonder if Gaumont will out Bobby J. as well. He was on Cofidis when he took his podium spot at the Tour as was Gaumont.
Also read that they said they'd need a whole day of testimony to inform the court about the extensive list of drugs that the Cofidis folks were caught carrying.

He already outed Bobby during his pre trail interviews

As David Millar once said: "he's a nutter...but what's dangerous is that he's very gifted at manipulating people. At the moment he seems to be manipulating the judge, the police and the press. He's behaving like an absolute lunatic. It's guerrilla warfare against the team."
Although he probably wouldn't use those exact words today...

His words still ring true in a sense. If you read that same quote, but take out the self righteous indignation and insert the fear that someone is crazy enough to break the omerta, then it still makes sense.
