Before the July 2007 TDF kicked off these two celebrities were featured in media shill designed to promote a 'clean' so-called event.
Both Stapleton & Kloden are bound together by a common underwriter, T-Mobile, a firm with an decade long history of funding doping.
In July 9th, vol 36/#13 Velonews the cover caption read: "The man who can save pro cycling" T-Mobile boss Bob Stapleton. Inside it read, "Clean -up man"
Bob said: "Doping is a slippery slope. Once you're in it, you're a part of it, and you have to lie or your career will be over. It's a cycle of fear."
We agree Bob---so why the surprise/angst when Patrik Sinkewitz went positive for testosterone at 85:1? Roid Landis was 11:1 after a four hour TT effort.
also Stapleton said: "These guys are exposed to doping early: at age 16 or 17. They know a lot about the reality of the sport.
We all agree Bob, so why the ongoing PR pretext?
Astana uniformed, T-Mobile alum Kloden:
In Pro Cycling: Andeas Kloden was quoted as saying; "For years, cycling has had the best anti-doping system of any sport--I'd bet my shirt on it"
His shirt (dirty laundry)---but he won't bet his own life, not ever.
Kloden also said: "I'm focused on July and I know what to do to be on form at the Tour" We bet you do. Please say hello to Michele Ferrari for us.
and; "It sucks that the 2006 Tour winner tested positive after the event, but that is a matter for the courts" To bad courts have no such legal jurisdiction
Andy.
When asked how many times he was tested in 2007: (tested for what we do not know) he answered:
"Three times out of competition---once by each of the aforementioned federations--as well as checks at races. The most recent out-of-competition test was on Sunday evening, when I was having a barbecue with my family. It's a pain to be tested in such situations, but it's necessary."
Really Andy, why??? For public relations pretext? Michael Rasmussen prefers to go AWOL even with still undetectable cow blood. Now that's more telling.
No reason to trust these two characters whatsoever. They must promote doping and results else they get sacked.
