I voted for the top option- very awesome. someone else seems to have voted for that too but i'm not quite sure who.
Despite the self-serving data benders and associated propaganda to the contrary, I am led to believe that there are pockets of organised, highly sophisticated dopers, even within 'new age' cycling teams. Personally, I don't accept that the 'dark era' has ended, it has just morphed into a new guise.

I would say that his connections to OP aren't his fault. Also doping only makes him more awesome I would think.

Yes.  :P If he dopes then that makes him this exciting to watch. Without the dope he would be less exciting and thus less awesome. If he dopes, that is.

Yes.  :P If he dopes then that makes him this exciting to watch. Without the dope he would be less exciting and thus less awesome. If he dopes, that is.

And it is this reasoning that makes me think you are not really a cycling fan. Maybe you would be better off watching american pro wrestling or better Ironman triathlons.

If Contador can perform in the same manner without doping as he has been in his career with doping but to about 15% less yes he would be exciting to watch, but how will we ever know?

Beno -   La Flo definitely believes that Alberto doesnt dope ... so I am pretty sure her comments were tongue in cheek

Contador returns to Team Saxo Bank

[08.06 13:15] Alberto Contador returns to Team Saxo Bank.
The 29 year old Spaniard will rejoin the Danish based World Tour team on August 5th, when his suspension has been served. Alberto Contador and the team have agreed on a deal that will tie him to the team for the remainder of the 2012 season and the coming three years.

"A lot of speculations and rumors have surrounded Alberto Contador and his future in the past months, but both our sponsors, the team and Alberto have shared the same wish to continue and built on our relationship. All along throughout these last two tough years we have stood by Alberto, so to be able to announce his return to the team is something I have been really looking forward to. Now we can put an end to these speculations and start focusing on building the team for the coming years," team owner Bjarne Riis says.

Alberto Contador is equally happy that his future lies within the setup of Team Saxo Bank.

"The decision to return to Team Saxo Bank has actually been pretty easy, and my first priority was always to rejoin the team and to continue working with Bjarne Riis, and the rest of the team. The support I have experienced from them in a very difficult situation is extraordinaire. I'm really looking forward to getting back on the bike, and my aim is to repay that support, hopefully with some great results," Alberto Contador adds.

He signed for the team he was expected to sign for and probably the one who gave him the best offer (fits in, domestiques all behind him, works well with Riise etc)
So how does that make him a class act...? :-\
