The UCI coverup is indeed the biggest thing to emerge from this.
Basso lost 2 years even though he never failed a dope test.
Petacchi lost a bunch of wins for A test result which would not be a positive now.
Rasmussen was pulled from a Tour for lying about his location.
Now, I agree that all these decisions were correct but if you are one of these guys, how do you feel today knowing that you lost your job b/c of strong circumstantial evidence but the guy who was actually busted for doping was helped escape by the same body that busted you?
I suggest everyone read Landis's interview with Kimmage published a few months ago - all the recent developments seem to be backing up what he wrote. The rot doesn't start with the riders - it starts with UCI and this could be the smoking gun that brings them down.
McQuaid is a f**king embarrassment and needs to go. Now.
