My thoughts on his "I was just planning to dope" bullshit from yesterday:
He won the Giro by 9 minutes. His competitors were awed by his performance (Gilberto Simoni called him "inhuman"). I've become very skeptical of dominating performances at that level - with current training techniques, current coaching and the ability to communicate with riders from the cars - the natural differences between top riders is minimal and mistakes are very rare. That leaves unnatural differences (doping) and the occasional mistake (like the guy in the TdF every year who misses a key early break and loses 4 minutes).
I'd be willing to bet he was doping during the Giro.
