Does Oscar Pereiro use doping?

His time was similar to Floyd's. Why dont we concentrate on implicating
Oscar in doping scandal? Floyd won this race and I dont appreciate
Oscar claiming he is now the winner and he resents missing the award
ceremony.

A cyclingnews.com article a week or so ago described avoiding detection
of drug use as an intelligence test. Floyd failed. Oscar passed.

Did Oscar really say that?

Pereiro was tested on very nearly every single day Landis was tested -
and at least one day when Landis wasn't tested. He was tested as many
times as Landis. If he cheated - and I see no reason to believe he did -
he got away with it.

Landis was a cheat. Pereiro was /probably/ not. That's really all there
is to say about it.

The qualifier "probably" is too specific for me. I'd say: there is no
evidence. Or: currently no evidence. Or: he is currently not Pounded
by any anti-doping witch hunt.
