The Spanish Armada sails! They have silenced Valverde … his article has been taken down, but here is what the others had to say along the same lines.
Alberto Contador- “In my opinion, at certain times, there has been a total lack of respect for Lance,” Contador said, according to the EFE news agency. “From my point of view, he was been humiliated and lynched. He has been destroyed. If cycling is popular in the United States, it’s thanks to him. If they know the Tour, it’s thanks to him.”
Samuel Sanchez- "I don't find it right,” he told La Sexta. “I think there should be a fair trial. You cannot punish a person only by verbal accusations. I think Lance has not tested positive throughout his career, was never sanctioned and now we see it all in cycling. One is accused of doping and they take away your career,.”
Miguel Indurain- "Even now I believe in his innocence. He has always respected all the rules," Indurain, who won the Tour from 1991-95, was quoted as telling Radio Marca on their website (www.marca.com).
"I'm a bit surprised. It's a bit strange that this was only based on testimonies,"
