Can the confessions of Ivan Basso help cycling ?
After having long claimed to be innocent, the Italian racing cyclist Ivan Basso admitted on Monday, May 7th, his implication in 'Puerto', the blood doping scandal that erupted in May 2006. For the editorialist Pascal Bornand, "cycling has been steeped in hypocrisy and lies for too long, damaging its legend, besmirching its image. Too many stifled scandals, dirty doings stashed away, skeletons in closets and masquerades have annihilated the dream that cycling used to carry. ... And now we have a champion ... who says he is ready to speak up, to ease his conscience. He will be the first to break the code of silence. The stranglehold he has been locked in is too strong for him to keep this heavy secret. Did his 'protectors' let him get away or has the milieu finally decided to opt for good conduct ? Ivan Basso is going to speak and the whole platoon is quaking in its boots. Maybe he is the providential, albeit reluctant, repairman here to help put bikes back into gear and prevent chains from jumping off all the time."

The comeback Tour ?
"Floyd Landis succeeds Lance Armstrong in the Tour's pantheon and one wants to believe that the 'connection' between the two men is limited to the colour of a passport [both are American] and the paramount importance attached to hard work", Pascal Bornand writes in an editorial, expressing his weariness with the doping allegations surrounding Armstrong's repeated success. "May [Landis's silence] about doping conceal nothing more than a natural modesty. After seven years of stifling domination, the shutters tightly sealed against any intrusion of the unpredictable, the bolts more unbreakable than Fort Knox, there was a need to air out the house to make its tenants feel more at home. Yet for all this, can one really speak of a new era, a mantra repeated since 1998 in the wake of the Festina earthquake that rocked the foundations of the cycling world ?"
