I just heard on France2 that Zabel's green jersey for 1996 will be erased by ASO in their history due to the doping admission.
I wondered where a promoter of a UCI race arrogates the power to revise the final standings of an approved race. It seems that if one looks, in the future, to see who did what, then the only official records are UCI, as they may decide to annotate, but not that of the promoter.

So, which is the better launch for a rant; Stalinist photo editing to remove the offender or the ancient Pharoah having the heretic's name chiselled from the monuments?
Hell, let's just go with both and point out that both Stalin and the Pharoah look silly now.

If they're all dopers, the record books must be wiped clean from the moment they all signed the loyalty oath and pledged a year's salary to the War on Doping.
Wait a minute-- some didn't sign, and some didn't admit to past sins and crimes.
Well, let this be a lesson for any who are thinking about coming clean (so to speak):

Wow, a little touchy there, Sandy. Is it not true that Virenque doped? And is it not true that it doesn't matter to the majority of French fans that he doped, that he's still considered a hero of Le Tour?
C'est vrai.

Well done on two counts.

They'll be painting people out of the official photos next, like Stalin.

There is no such thing as evolution, just Intelligent Design which started 6000 years ago with Adam and Eve and Buddha, who was stripped of his title for mushrooming into Nirvana.

Budda is a fatty master who is half naked and worshipped. Life is strange.

So some pictures will have fans and maybe support vehicles, but no racers in them?
Sweeet!

They'll have retroactive testing for the fans and support vehicles too. If you drank a thermos of coffee to stay awake after driving all night to reach the Tourmalet, or if you violated caravan rules in your team car, that same software that paints the virtual ads on the soccer pitch and the banners at the edge of the field can just as easily be used to erase you from the picture.
On the bright side, Prudhomme has figured out that he can use Photoshop to put LANCE's face on the body of Eric-the-guy-who-tackled-Guerini.

Wasn't Virenque ejected the 'year' he doped? Strictly speaking they are only taking one of Zabels jerseys not the lot. You could apply that logic to it.

Ummm.....Photoshop?
The Soviets invented Photoshop, you know.
As in "in Soviet Russia, the Government photoshops you..."
