The lesson from this case to every future accused rider is to quit the sport as soon as your accused and fight to keep whatever money you have without regard to your guilt. Fighting isn't worth the costs and you won't ride again so why waste the time/money fighting the corrupt system. If I was a current rider I would squirrel away all my money into someplace the UCI can't sue me for it- just in case.
i agree. i think he did it, but the system has nothing to do with due process or fair play. it's really just a kangaroo court
