Tour de France 2013

But you were saying they turned a blind eye to the doping going on around them in an earlier epoch, and that is why now they have to answer these difficult questions on a daily basis, and internet know-it-alls (present company excepted) using platforms like Twitter and forums to accuse and abuse them. I pointed out WQiggins very much broke Omerta earlier in his career, and was lauded for it by the same people that snigger at him now.

Yes, I get that but I still don't think that the riders have done enough or been open enough. Some have been more so than others so maybe I'm being a little hard on Wiggo but largely, I still believe that their lack of openness and their observance of the Omerta (whether they were doping or not) that is partly to blame for the questions that are being asked now.

As for the clinic - it's a dark place that I occasionally visit. It takes a LOT of time to sift through any subject/thread to find something interesting/useful/objective. I'm not surprised it makes people angry!
