Where's the evidence he's not part of a 'sophisticated doping ring'?

He got caught; there's your evidence of a lack of sophistication.

This. Smacks of late season desperation amateurly administered: The team need World Tour points to maintain their Pro Tour status, he needs a contract

What was Sky's policy regarding dopers? It's ok if he's retiring anyway..

Indeed!

That also means Canada's got one fewer pro cyclist.

Canada: 50% cheats.

Ha!

Although, how many Aussies, cheating or not, won a grand tour this year?

Love this. I'm stealing it

French rider at end of his contract popped for EPO, and Sky announce Geert Leinders will not be working with them again now we smashed our targets and BC Olympic funding secured for a generation for reasons unknown.

Also some minor kerfuffle about a Texan chap.

Good day for sky to bury bad news?

Ha!

How many Canadians have won the Tour de France, ever?

The same number as the Brits.

The Belgians had a good year, though.

Remind us how he got on again this year?

Doesn't matter. We won it before you.. oh wait.. Belgium.. no Belgium got it before we did.

This Canadian v Aussie v Brit pissing contest is the best reaction read yet to USADA dropping the bomb, proper

The Germans won it before the lot of you, but after the Danes, hmmh.

We had further to travel.

Right, we won the Olympics in . . . Belgium?
