Leave the politics out of this, ok? geez there's enough controversy
without dragging GW, Bin Laden, Mulroney et al into this miasma.

Now onto Simoni.
I think there is some truth to what Gibo is saying, don't get me wrong
I highly doubt that Basso offered him the win for 30k Euro, but the
whole thing about waiting for Basso on the descent and an unwritten
code that is someone helps the "patron" that someone is gifted a
stage win.
Yes I know according to the Badger (Hinault for you 99ers) NO GIFTS,
but it is race etiquette and the precedent is not unknown.
I think Simoni was just Pissed off about that and shot his mouth off.

Nice of him to retract it.
