Virenque works for Eurosport, don't know if he does extensive live commentating.
There's an appaling commercial for this.
I'm no expert on this: even when I still watched the Tour I was turning the sound off.
Jalabert has been working on the national French TV for a decade,
coanchoring live , doing interviews pre and post podium, very high profile.
About Virenque "doping unbeknownst of my own free will",
the quote was an instant urban myth,
it was coined by the local spitting image.
Jalabert used roughly the same line of defence when interwied by the senate,
this could explane why these elderly gentlemens leaked his name.
Saves embarassement to the national TV,
to the Tour managing team as well,
who's headed by the former head of sports of the very same national TV.
