  • Its not just about Festina and an end to doping though. The Cofidis affair was in 2004. No doubt there are some juiced riders in the French ranks. There are countless theories and reasons adduced.

    I was being purposefully antagonistic, but no-one really bit. Doping is not restrained by national borders.

    I despair for any French rider who shows a modicum of stage racing talent, as the expectations of a nation are then placed upon their shoulders. For many, this pressure is too much and they can live up the hopes and expectations.
