"The best thing for me to do is not to see [Dueñas] or I may get assault charges against me," - Chris Froome

"Beltran is an imbecile" - Jerome Pineau

"I have Italian friends who told me that, when they rode with him [Ricco] when he was 15, he used to show off about his doping antics and he even showed them how he took it." - Jerome Pineau Comment - why the hell doesn't at least one person speak up when they hear that?

"When you're up to the neck in it like him [Ricco], at least you could have the decency not to act like he did, especially when he was right in the eye of the cyclone. He strutted around like a star, he provoked us. You know, I'm really happy that he's sleeping behind bars tonight." - Jerome Pineau

Piepoli turned out to be a dope but I give him credit admitting to the team that he was doing the same as Ricco. At his age, he didn't have much to lose but at least he stood up like a man and didn't go on with the protests of innocence. Makes Ricco's claims of innocence ridiculous when a teammate says he was doping "just like Ricco".

"He [Ricco] needs to be punched in the nose for his arrogance... "The worst part is that Italian TV was almost sympathizing with this idiot saying 'shame, he is only 25, and it's possible to make mistakes'. But when anybody else goes positive they massacre him. Wake up you fools - he is a cheat and should be treated like one."" - Robbie Hunter
