Thanks for the reference (see the last paragraph).
Regarding Prentice
And finally, as if July wasn't a tough enough month for me personally, I
just want to make something clear.
I arrived home from Paris on Monday afternoon to read the story on the
Internet some of you have referenced in the guest book on my website. A
former part-time team physician has made derogatory public statements about
my former U.S. Postal teammates and me. This is not the first time this man
has done this. (reference: Gorski incensed about drug allegations against
Postal team).
It has always been my policy to try to take the high road and keep some
thoughts to myself. But I also realize there are a lot of young cyclists who
follow my career, so it is on their behalf that I will finally respond.
The claim that I, along with another teammate, approached a team doctor and
asked him questions about doping products back in 1996 is absolutely false.
I swear on my wife's life and the grave of my dog that I never asked that
man about anything of the sort. If you know anything about me, you know this
is as emphatic as I can be. I'm truly saddened to have to respond publicly
to such an accusation.
Thanks for reading.
