There seem to be a fair bit of cherry picking and omissions going on. Anyway, Hamilton, Heras and Landis doped. I wouldn’t bet any money on that they were clean during the US Postal years. More to the point, Heras won one Vuelta riding for Kelme, one at US Postal and one at Liberty-Seguros. Doped or not, he managed well without Bruyneel. Same thing with Savoldelli who won the Giro before he joined Discovery, and then stopped racing one year after he left.

And Boonen’s departure was not with Johan’s blessing, as I remember it.

So Bert hasn’t gone anywhere. Who left whom?

racing the Ruta de los Conquistadores in Costa Rica.

He raced it last year and will try again this year.

That plus the Brompton World Championships.

Riders come and go. You could do this post about Patrick Lefevre too. Bruyneel has developed his share of grand tour riders and teams, I think that’s his specific legacy. But otherwise I think this movement is what happens all over cycling.

seeing as how, for better or worse, he didn’t really listen to JB during the 2009 Tour.

and turned out to be frauds(except Salvo). They are dopers, and were more than likely dopers riding for JB and LA.

    They may have been treated as such by JB and LA but they shouldn’t be considered as such.

Slow down joeyc, pace yourself.

Yeah, he was DQed for doping but the difference between him and the other riders is that he got caught, the others didn’t.
