Basso Said Admits Role in Doping Scandal
Why is it that all crooks, when they get caught, claim they want to crusade against other crooks committing the same crime they did. Basso is on the same level as a street gang banger that finally gets caught and then claims he wants to help "kids" stay out of gangs. In some instances these jail house conversions may be genuine but the vast majority of the time they are conversions of convenience; appeasing prosecutors, judges and in this case fans and sponsors who have paid him millions.
On a sad note it is getting harder and harder for me to stay committed that Lance Armstrong was the only clean guy out there. It's my understanding that Lance Armstrong has urine samples dating back years. I think it is time for the guy at the top to stand up and prove himself. He owes it to millions who have bought into his story.
'Basso said, 'The moment has come for me to assume my responsibilities. I only hope that I will be understood,'' Martelli said, adding the rider would 'plan his future around the fight against doping.'
