yeah i dunno i think it is a big deal. paying off the UCI is a big deal. building an brand and an empire- a brand designed around of virtue and purity- on a lie is a big deal. especially if many of the money people and leadership people and in fact a good chunk of the riders are still players in pro cycling, as DSs and administrators and still racing in some cases, its not "ancient history"

thats such a moral moving goalpost copout for the fanboy set. desperate last stand against reality.
