You're information is incorrect.

Seems appropriate, especially in lieu of the fact that he's made passing comments/accusations on plenty of other riders and teams. If you think he's cleaner than the others, you're wrong.

I don't mean to hate on discovery.
I was a huge Basso fan and still am to an extent, although what he did to Riis seems kind wrong (Refusing DNA testing and leaving CSC only to agree to the possibility of future DNA tests with Discovery).
