Jaksche: Rebellious Ideologue, Nuts


Jörg Jaksche has signed a contract with Team Tinkoff. Jaksche says that he has nothing further to fear from anti-doping officials. Mr. 60 examnies what Jorg has to say:
"I have done everything that the UCI has asked."
Agree!
"I was even the only rider who declared himself ready to give a voluntary DNA sample."
True!
"But everything is very unclear. Who knows, what will happen. I have the impression that something has to happen, because certain people have leaned too far out the window."
Agree!
"These people have to figure with legal steps against them, if they have falsely accused riders like Ivan Basso of doping. Our status has fallen from a respected rider to that of a beggar. Someone has to pay for that damage. That's why they are so interested that the investigation reach the results they want."
Word is bond, Jörg!

Hey Jorg, will Ivan Basso ride the Tour?
"He will definitely ride."
Really? Why?
"His sponsors will make sure of that. Nike is Basso's main personal sponsor and an official partner of the Tour."
Er, what?!?
"Versus belongs to Discovery Channel, and as far as I know, has bought the US TV rights to the Tour for the next four years. So theoretically speaking, Basso shouldn't have any problem in France."
Huh? You lost me there there, buddy. So let me get this straight. You're saying there's a conspiracy? Discovery Channel, Nike and THESE GUYS control pro cycling? I have just one question: do they meet at Bohemian Grove?
