Doping

Rasmussen's book will be interesting.

One surprising thing about Hesjedal is that he didn't come out along with the other Garmin riders last year. I know he wasn't under USADA jurisdiction, but it continues the drip feed of doping stories that I thought Vaughters was keen to avoid.

There is no incentive whatsoever to confess unless you've already been offered a deal. If Hesjedal called a news conference and said, "I doped in the past but I've been clean for the past x years", he'd likely still face a significant ban and, and this is really a much lesser point, face no end of accusations from internet forum people.

I'm sure Vaughters knows his past, and has probably advised him to wait until a) he has no choice or b) has retired before any confession.
