Clean cyclists 1990-2010

[Crackle]

I did a bit of reading around Sastre and personally think he was clean. I'll find the links when I get home.

The usual clauses apply.

Oh and Millar was doper, Robert, not his son David and yes wrong era for this discussion I reckon.

I just re-read this page from 2011...

I must have already blocked the 2008 Tour out of my memory by then. ISTR thinking the Angliru stage looked a bit dodgy but that Cobo redeemed himself a bit by looking like he'd been made to suffer on stage 17 when Froome kicked his ass.

The thing about that trio was there ability to suffer with pride, the ability their contemparies lacked in abundance. Not proof that they didn't dope of course, but a good reason for many to hope they didn't .

I personally choose to believe they're clean but I can see there are reasons for not being sure.

On the other hand, if merely being on a dodgy team is reason enough to suspect any rider, we'd have to suspect Moncoutié too...

I Sastre was dirty I suspect his name would have been linked to Fuentes somewhere along the line.

OK, here's Team Clean so far...
Chris Boardman
Brad McGee
Brad Wiggins
David Moncoutié
Sandy Casar
Francois Simon
Jerome Pineau
Sylvain Chavanel

B[-sample] Team:
Carlos Sastre
Jens Voigt
Cadel Evans
Robbie McEwen
Jan Svorada

Really struggling to find any more names - all the ones I think look good soon turn out to have feet of clay with further investigation. I would have had Frederic Moncassin on the list until a few days ago. Here are some potentials I've dug up - comments welcome:
Jaan Kirsipuu
Cyril Saugrain
Fabio Baldato?

 

[rich p]

Marco Pinotti is clean!

Phillipe Gilbert speaks loudly against doping - he's won a lot and some stuff at the later noughties but the big wins are 2010 onwards I guess
