Basso states "I smoked pot but didn't inhale"

"I smoked pot but didn't inhale"b y Captain Dan

So let me get this straight. Basso wins Giro by 9 minutes, over Gutierrez (who has never done this well in a 3 week stage race and is subsequently implicated in OP). Then is implicated in Operation Puerto and can't start '06 Tour. He denies any association with Dr. Fuentes. He and CSC part ways (significant buy out clause paid by CSC), then signs multi million $ contract with Discovery and Nike.
Evidence exists that his code name is Brillo (his dogs name that he denies is true) including blood and payment records going back to 2004. He quits Discovery and yesterday confesses his involvement. Then today says it was only "just in case" and for the tour he didn't get to compete.
This is F&$king hilarious. What a putz. How can he cheat, lie, take a ton of money, spit on our sport, and then expect anyone to believe this pile of shit!
