while I think it’s good they’re acknowledging the doping problems that have occurred, to lump Millar in a Saunier-Duval uniform going backwards with Landis “unreceiving” his final yellow jersey or others (Ullrich, Vino) going backwards doesn’t seem right, as by the time he was with Saunier-Duval he’d completed his suspension. Surely they could find coverage of him at Cofidis or at the worlds he “won”?

I think it’s fantastic. It’s a nice change from them pretending that bad things don’t happen. But I also think maybe it’s a little too optimistic, but we’ll see.

not that Millar shouldn’t have been included or that I disagree with the idea of the ad – more just that Millar wasn’t on Saunier-Duval when he was arrested/suspended – so the concept as I see it of “going back” in terms of erasing the questionable performances becomes tarnished by their inaccuracy with Millar. (Then again, perhaps the majority watching the Tour on Versus in July don’t know or care who’s who in the ad or what team they’re on anyway … )

included a brief shot of Pantani and Riis, too.

But really dislike the new one today. A lot.

It’s irresponsible and lazy of Versus to lump Millar in Saunier Duval kit with Landis in Phonak kit and Vino in Astana kit. Why not show Landis going backward in US Postal kit, if the team kit doesn’t matter?

Strictly speaking, Ullrich in Bianchi kit is also inaccurate, but since the team is no longer around to be smeared, it’s less egregious, I suppose.

Millar in SD vs. Cofidis is an issue, I agree, but that pales in comparison to the need to come clean and cleaner.

Is this really an issue?

to get to the crux of what I really want to say. So yeah, the David Millar in SDV kit irked me, but I think what really irks me about this ad campaign is the holier than thou attitude of Versus, to get us, the fans all riled up about the fact that the dopers stole from us.

It’s not like Versus lost any money because of the dopers. Also, what phantom_51 said.
