Christophe Bassons situation shows how bad doping was in cycling. How many people faced with the same choice as Bassons wouldn't dope? Now imagine every team being the same? How many people wouldn't dope?

A thought I had the other day, maybe cycling should be seen like athletics relays, if one member of the team cheats in a race, the others lose their medal.

He probably can't have a title though as he wasn't clean.

Nice article SPR i've only read the article Vaughters tweeted (he's also open to a bit of debate as I found out on twitter!)

P.E. - He is indeed. There is a long thread on Cyclingnews.com forums about his admission where he talks with the regular posters.

Page 3 and page 4 of the Vaughters interview should be required reading for everyone before they weigh in on doping debates. Like Kimmage, once again, they doped just to stay in touch.
