William Fotheringham shocks us all by writing something about doping that undermines the credibility of professional cycling. This is so out of character for our beloved cycling writer!
The only thing that could make it worse is if he had somehow spent the past couple of months instrumenting a character assassination on cycle sport, abusing his position in a national newspaper to write article after article on how cyclists are all drug cheats, and always ensuring to include a tag about drugs in cycling at the end of every race report he's written. And it would make it even worse if he'd apparently ganged up with Paul Kimmage to shout down Vinokourov and Kloden at the Astana press conference prior to the Tour de France. Yeah, if he'd done anything like that, people might even consider calling him a traitor to the sport.
William Fotheringham:
Our villain of the month. At least everybody understood the motives behind the Daily Mail's "revelations" about Robert Millar, as well as knowing to understand it as a glib pile of toss.
