Phil Gaimon not impressed:

“It looks like almost every other denial, from Tyler Hamilton to Bill Cosby, and I can’t see how that ever works,” Gaimon wrote.

I just read that he's the first TdF rider to be older than the President of France!

Well Macron seems to be Teflon man despite scandals around those he's selected as ministers.
If Zubeldia is as well coated you never know what might happen.

Lionel Birnie's interview with Michael Rasmussen for the Kilometre Zero offshoot off the Cycling Podcast is well worth a listen. "Unrepentant" is putting it mildly...

I found that a really bizarre listen. I can imagine having the team go above the rules to eject you must be a bitter pill to swallow - but it wasn't exactly unjustified.

Like many, he seems to be upset by being caught, not by the fact he cheated. Birnie at times seemed strained by what Rasmussen was saying.

I just read that and was about to post it myself. The sodding twerp.

I never did like him much anyway.
