My comment was that it's only been raised for question and that should not even by public knowledge yet. Until evidence is produced confirming he doped, people should sit back, mull the possibility but not weigh in without fact saying that he doped.
He had good form in the TOB. This year he's been used as a domestic, having to ride hard at the start of races to shut things down, so it's little wonder we don't see him at the end. Just because his form from the TOB doesn't match up with now, does not confirm he doped. It may look suspicious, especially with the apparently Bio passport values, but no material evidence is there.
I'd rather the rider have the opportunity to come forward and answer the letter and prove he wasn't doped, than have the entire cycling community defend on the rider, with wild hysteria. It's despicable, the rapidity the community is willing to turn.
Had he tested positive with an A sample and confirmed by B. Then feel free to lynch him. However, currently he's only flagged some odd values and deserves the respect to answer to this without doping naysayers jumping on him.
