What's to question? They broke a rule, they can't possibly deny it, they'll pay a penalty.
Let's just try to objectively compare winning times on Ventoux.
You can't. Conditions (wind, temperature, humidity, fans, length of stage, how early or late in the Tour) are too variable.
Besides, you can't look at times and on that basis declare someone was or wasn't cheating. If that was the case, they'd have thrown out 75% of the peloton every year for the past 50 years.
