Actually as alanbikehouston said, the issue (probably) wasn't so much "proof" of doping, but the fact that he lied and violated his contract. If the contract were that he was not allowed to eat chicken and he said swears up and down that never ate chicken but someone turned up some footage of him eating at KFC it would be the same thing. The fact that the lying also happens to involve a doctor who has supplied doping products and services to other athletes just makes it even more juicy (mmm, like chicken!).
I do feel sorry for Jan, whether it turns out he actually doped or not. I have to wonder if his ProTour career is over, or very close to it after the dust settles on all of this.

You can be sure someone will allege it. But I don't think it has anything to do with his nationality (nor the nationality of the accusers)...just the fact that it's cycling and his performance was quite miraculous -- it's automatically suspect, especially in this year's tour (though IMHO anyone actually doping this tour would be an absolute *fool*...testing unfortunately is not enough to confirm or deny it though).
