Press conference in Denmark right now where he is admitting 12 years of doping.
Apparantly also naming others who doped at Rabobank.
Ahh so Armstrong wasn't responsible for all the ills in the world then, he had help from Rasmussen
Presumably that covers his mtbing career?
Previously banned pro-cyclist in repeat offender shocker!
Edit: No names named thus far

MTB world champion in 1999.
He's just fessed up to doping from 1998-2010.
Reading through the transcript on one of the Danish news sites he doesn't say much other than over the years he used EPO, human growth hormone, testosterone, DHEA, insulin, IGF-1 and Cortisone (pretty good going) and that further info is confidential at the moment while various authorities deal with it – it doesn't seem like much more will be revealed at this stage.
I dont believe it.
Pro roadie taking drugs.
Never.
This is not news though is it? Well, him saying it is I guess but I'm assuming everyone could have had an educated guess that this was the case.
if you take drugs then you too can have a body like his;

Wonder if Bjarne will finally start saying something.
As Nicki Sørensen is mentioned for the period where they worked for Bjarne, so yet more people now saying that Bjarne knew about the doping.
How Bjarne can still be running a cycling team is beyond me.
Isn't that the 3rd mens MTB world champ on EPO and one woman?
Dirty as pro road maybe without all the fuss they slip under the radar
Gotta say it, When he won the KOM in 2005 and 2006 it was possibly of the most amazing climbing solo stage wins i have ever seen. Amazing Cycling.
so yet more people now saying that Bjarne knew about the doping.
But this is Bjarne "I took EPO and won the TdF, so what?" Riis. I think he's got some sort of dirt on the UCI because there's no way that he should be running a team. For that matter, if Katusha fail the ethical test for a World Tour license, so should Saxo.
This is a man on Human [b]Growth[/b] Hormone???

It's a good look, snow white skin on chest, mahogany arms
an amazing climber. The KOM's he won were spectacular. Do you have the link to the item please?
Surprised there hasnt been more reaction on here to this?
A doping mountainbike world champion, who'd a thought it. 🙄
Evans was apparently off his mash when he was racing MTB too. It's rife everywhere.

Pair of dopers or not that duel with Contador in the tour was one of the best bits of racing I've ever seen.
Ahh so Armstrong wasn't responsible for all the ills in the world then, he had help from Rasmussen
Did Rasmussen use his power and wealth to ruin those who tried to out him?
In what way was Evans 'off his mash'? Now I'm not know for being a doping apologist but I've never really seen anything that links him with doping?
probably on the idave diet....Evans was apparently off his mash when he was racing MTB
Armstrong dopes and everyone hates him, others dope and it seems ok, how come?
bigger you are the harder you fall...Armstrong dopes and everyone hates him, others dope and it seems ok, how come?
I also dislike Rasmussen for doping if that helps. Tempted to have a go at those being apologists by suggesting stuff like "one of the best bits of racing I've ever seen", but not sure I can be bothered. The thing is, this one really isn't news at all - unlike Armstrong, Rasmussen doesn't have hordes of disciples who think he couldn't possibly have doped even after found guilty (who then turn into apologists when he owns up). Surely everybody knew he'd been on the juice for a long time from the point he got thrown off the Tour by his own team?
Apparently he spilled the beans on CSC's practices....
If Riis has to come clean then thats a lot of dirt.
Tempted to have a go at those being apologists by suggesting stuff like "one of the best bits of racing I've ever seen", but not sure I can be bothered.
Go on then, tell me how that makes me an apologist?
At the time it was genuine edge of the seat stuff. It's only with hindsight that we know it was rotten.
Can't really see why it changes as some exiting tv just because they were all smacked up.
In what way was Evans 'off his mash'? Now I'm not know for being a doping apologist but I've never really seen anything that links him with doping?
Was apparently well known according to a few pros who raced WC's with him. It was either that or he was bipolar 🙂
He does have an HGH chin and has known bouts of 'roid-rage' if you get near his pooch
