This. I was a believer in Vaughters and the Garmin ethic, but Ryder's case strikes me as a continuation of omerta. I don't mind censured riders like Millar coming back into the peloton and (hopefully) riding clean but I don't like riders that management and even ADAs know has doped continuing to ride, earn a living and win races despite having cheated massively in the past and gotten away with it. A team with Garmin's stated aims should have admitted his doping long before and done some sort of penance for it, like a voluntary break from the sport.
