I have little reason to beleive that any riders connected to Bruyneel or Ris to be any different. Also, all of those riders except Horner were on Postal during the years when their hematocrits were around 49% in testing at the 1999 Tour, when there was no EPO test (subsequently Armstrong's blood tested postitive from that year) and all they could go on was hematocrit levels. I believe they doped then, and have little reason to believe they stopped; just became more clever in their approach. It would be nice to believe otherwise, but it is hard when the average speeds keep increasing.
