Recently retired one-day race great Johan Museeuw was found guilty of doping Friday, slapped with a two-year ban and a 10,000 Swiss franc ($8,000) fine for his alleged involvement in the high-profile drug case against Belgian veterinarian Jos Landuyt.

Ohh, nothing special! He has already retired, so 2 years ban means nothing to him, but now he can`t become QSD directeur sportif! Planckaert and Peers are in much bigger s*it!

True it doesn't effect his racing career since it is done, but he had such a reputation as a great classic rider. I choose to delude myself and say that he was clean most of his career and only turned dirty to fight the effects of aging.

That's why I put "Museeuw" in the title -- to dissuade people from the notion that only the second-tier riders dope. Museeuw was one of the best of the last decade.

I dont know if "all dope", but coming from R Virenque,,, har har

The conclusion is not hard to reach and the sport has to do something or it will erode the fan base.

Bummer for the sport, but I am thrilled they caught Museeuw.

To see him at age 51 or whatever ride off the front of Paris Roubaix and drop Hincapie etc was a load of crap. I want asteriscs next to all his victories.

Just remember the "oops we forgot to collect his urine" the Belgians stated when he did NOT have to submit a urine after his last victory at Paris Roubaix (apology if I misrememebr and it was Flanders)
There's a conspiracy for you!
