Half hearted confession, half hearted hope

"I was only attempted doping (sic)." So, apparently Basso is only admitting to having his blood drawn? Yet the documents that led him to confess state that it was drawn and pumped back in since 2004. Uhm, only some of accusations were true?

Here I thought that we would get a cleansing of sort, and even willing to respect Basso. Yet, he sounds like a junkie not fessing up to his addiction.

Oh sure, fessing to doping would mean that the maglia rosa would go down to Simoni. But Millar gave up his rainbow jersey.

I'm curious to see what his confession statement says. If he admitted to getting blood drawn prior to the Giro, I suspect that the UCI can still strip that title anyway.

Fess up, Basso! You're gonna lose the title, save some face.
