so when are the (contador) doping accusations going to begin?
i'll preface by saying that i give people the benefit of the doubt... maybe i'm foolish and naive, but i'm not out accusing anyone of anything, let that be the governing body's business.
that said...
do we really think the sport is clean now? or do we think others are doping to keep up and contador is just that much better clean? i can't think of the last person who puts on a performance with such ease that hasn't been at least accused (by the internet peanut gallery) of doping, much less the numbers that have been accused legitimately and the numbers convicted.
so.. do we think he'll get busted? if he doesn't do we think he's clean? if so, what makes him different in the eyes of increasingly skeptical fans?

Hey, I mean he, the Schlecks and Sastre all pulled away from the supposed "Second Greatest Doper of All Time"(Pharmstrong), so, they must all be juiced to the gills.(sarcasism guys, it's just sarcasism)

they've begun years ago. Even for Contador. Ever heard of Operation Puerto. 2004? Try Google. Then come back and report what you've found.

But, can we go down the Operation Puerto and the obvious connection to Johan Bruyneel route?
