This one came from my man M. He’ll be writing more on drunkcyclist in the near future:
Here you go!
In Today’s CN … Indurain practices the ULTIMATE OMERTA … he doesn’t
blame Riis for stealing the Tour from him .. he blames Riis for talking
and spitting in the soup …. the classic response of someone who was
fully and completely within the doping sheep pen of “preparing” for the
race.
If he didn’t dope his response would of been completely the opposite.
These guys are fucking gangsters. Is anybody going to apologize to
Thomas Davy for the ostracizing and destruction he underwent from the
Omerta Crowd (Lance Armstrong; President for Life) for telling the truth?

Did Indurain dope?
Read this and you can safely conclude with 100% certainty he doped.

Indurain: Riis does cycling no favours
By Monika Prell
After Bjarne Riis’ confession that he used EPO during the Tour de France 1996, Miguel Indurain stated that he did not like the declarations of Riis, who was the one to conclude the Spaniards five-year reign. “I don’t understand why he made these confessions eleven years after. But he is old enough and he will know better than anybody else why he did it,” he said to Marca.
He believes that the confessions of Riis “did not do any favours for cycling. Actually, there are many people who hope that this sport comes out of this bottomless pit, and things like this take from everyone’s courage.”
Indurain does not want to take away from Riis’ 1996 win. “I don’t want to detract from what Riis did, but my impression is that he did not overwhelm me, that it was me who lost the Tour. I did all I could to be in front and at the end I did not reach this goal. Riis and many others were stronger, and if there was anything irregular or not then it is not my affair.”
Indurain does not want to call Riis “Mister 60 percent” like many others do. “I am not the one who should judge his declarations because only he knows what he did and only he is responsible of what he did.”
