“He takes sorrel to go to conferences …”
The 45 -year -old consultant said in particular: “He (Bjarne Riis) says that by putting everyone in the same bag as him, but what does he know? Gilles Delion (Best Young in the 1990 Tour, editor's note), he was bicycle with clear water. Riis sacrificed, with his tape of Telekom, boys who could have bicycle differently”he blames. “It's just a shame”continues Pineau, “He takes sorrel to go and do conferences. In front of businesses, he says that. It is a shame. You have to silence these people. There are two categories of people who have to be silent. These who say they regret anything and those who say 'not me when we know very well that they have cheated. They are above, they are still in light. make vomit “estimates the former sports director.
The Frenchman knew the one who was nicknamed “Mr. 60 %” as the team manager CSCbecome Saxo bank afterwards : “He was still crushing us with his haughty side and his power. It is just deleterious. When the Tour de France was left in Denmark (in 2022, note), the guy was so well seen at his home that he was not invited, it was a pariah. It was very good. He arrived in a French team, the Castorama, he did not pass a bridge. He goes to Telekom and he wins the Tour of France By cheating.he said annoyed. “There is a bunch of runners, with 60 % hematocritus rates, which could have lectured. I would have been bad I think. He is a chemistry product. His mere fact of weapons is to have won the Tour but being 60 % hematocrit, obviously he won”concludes Jérôme Pineauin the show Les Grandes Gules du Sport of RMC.
