Lavenu is most concerned about the credibility of cycling. "Today, the solution would be not to sign the top GC guys of the Grand Tours," he added. "But where do we put the barrier? Sixth, seventh? I don't say this by chance, because Cyril Dessel was seventh in the last Tour. He rides in my team and I know I don't take any risks with him. But what do others think of that? That's where we're at now: One can not believe in our sport any more.

Right, how on earth can Lavenu be certain that Dessel is not taking anything ? I'm not aware of any TD coming out and saying a guy on his team had told him he was doping...probably no need to do that since it's a well known fact that everyone takes a "little something" and that until 1998 at least it was openly discussed.
