you can never suspend him or relegate him yet, but it will be impossible for him to ever remove the suspicions from our heads. he was so amazing that day and unfortunately that becomes even further evidence that something was not quite right. so it's disappointing no matter what the final decisionmaker finally tells us.

all this being said, when you think of how he must felt the night he cracked -- blown his chance to win the tour with major surgery on the horizon -- and all those uncertainties, i'm not willing judge him even if he did do it.
