hahaha.yeah, right. Yates told the Press Association said he has nothing to hide by quitting, but is instead looking to spend more time with his family. "I have suffered with my health in recent years and have spent a lot of time away from my home so I feel the time is right to focus on myself and my family," he is reported as saying."I realise the timing of my retirement will lead to speculation given what is currently going on in the sport but I can walk away with my head held high knowing I have done nothing wrong."

I too, hope it gets cleaned up. But I wonder if interest will wane as the cyclists will no longer be able to perform super-human feats.
