Denmark's Bjarne Riis, who won the 1996 Tour de France with the
Telekom team, will hold a news conference in Copenhagen tomorrow,
Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported. Brian Nygaard, a spokesman for the
CSC team that Riis now manages, didn't immediately answer a phone
message seeking comment
That could get interesting.

Forget Floyd, what about Indurain? He's now in sole possession of
second place in all-time TdF wins.
I wonder if they'll edit this highlight reel?

That's a good one. Riis might even steal that distinction from him.
But, what about Garin in 1904? Was he stripped of the title or just
DQ'd? I thought the official results of that edition weren't provided
until some months after the race.
Some pretty sad epilogues being written by the recent TdF champs--
1996 Riis-- EPO admission
1997 Ullrich-- Puerto implications, etc.
1998 Pantani-- RIP
2006 Landis-- 'nuff said
Include the Armstrong Era in there if you want but I ain't touchin'
that one !!!

McQuade's weighed in that since it was more than eight years ago they
can't strip the title, but the books may show no winner that year. I
think I might legally change my name to No W. Inner and claim virtual-
participation, virtual-win, post-purging victory! Go me!

Didn't see all of it in Danish Television, but he did admit taking Epo in
the period 1993-1998.

Does this mean that Floyd Landis will not even be the first Tour de
France winner to be stripped of the title?

I always thought Riis was the kingpin of doping. Look what he did to Tyler.
His approach is always the same, he always says to the new recruited star,
Basso probably say the same act,
"Do you want to be pack-fill?" and he places a cliff bar on the table,
or
"Do you want to be a champion?" and that's when he puts the black medicine
bag on the table.

Riis is mostlikely making a "statement" due to the events surrounding
Basso. Ivan probably cut a deal with the Italian panel in an effort
to get a a 2-year suspension reduced to 1. In return, he had to
implicate someone. Riis is a perfect target.
Nobody believes Riis did not know something was going on, and the
authorities need to get a DS on record versus riders and doctors.
Basso says, "Riis, I missed last year's Tour, and now this
year's...I'm not getting any younger and I want to ride next year's
Tour. But I had to offer some 'evidence' in return for some
leniency. You know how it goes. So, I'm telling you this so you can
decide whether you want your involvement to come out via the an
uncontrolled media/WADA orgy, or you can hold a press conference, cry
a little and humble yourself to your supporters".
In other words, you can control the spin, or let others. I simply
bought you some time to get your spin together.
Thus, Riis goes public as a pre-emptive move.
Basso's such a nice guy

I like this scenario so much, I say if the real press conference
isn't as good, we nominate this as the virtual press conference.

So soon after the holier-than-thou routine with Basso? Aren't actions
like that the primary cause of spontaneous human combustion?

Actually, I think Riis is in a perfect position to come clean and keep
the momentum/omerta breaking going. He owns the joint. He cant get
fired. CSC can pull sponsorship, but Riis owns the team.
