Posted this in another thread...so if Riis gives back the jersey what "clean" rider are they going to give the jersey to?
Criteria: must have ridden for team who did not have a positive drug test, was not involved with one of the "infamous" Italian doctors, was not on a team run by a DS who was caught up in drug scandal, or teammate who was either found positive or confessed. To help things along, I've bolded the ones I know about, others can comment as they see fit:
