All I can say, I guess, is that I hope he is clean, or at least stays clean, and that he will race again, becasue he seems like a very nice guy.

I agree about his defense. I think for the most part he was trying to create a viable doubt. I think the process was at least worth questioning.
It doesn't matter now anyway. He has paid the price. I just hope he does't decide he's too old I would like to see him come back.
If for no other reason that to add to the stable of awesome American riders.
