My admiration for the guy knows no bounds. He has to be a second
round draft pick on any team. He adds way more than his palmares.

One way to get to ride a yellow bike for a bit. Did he have one for
his 1 day in the maillot jaune Stage 7-2001?

dumbass,
voigt is a fucking hypocrite. perhaps he is a likable guy, but he gets
indignant when the press suggests that cyclists are doping, yet he has
spent a large part of his career working for guys like basso and frank
schleck (admitted fuentes clients) not to mention his boss riis. i
don't eat up his two-faced act.

... and don't forget Zabel who is another hypocrite, who was also
indignant about doping then finally admitted it too.
I used to like Voigt ... want to like him ... but ever since the 2006
Deutschland Tour and the Der Spiegel "Haben Sie heute schon gedopt?"
ambush (now sadly gone from YouTube) I couldn't help but think his
indignation was phony. Just like Zabel.

this may come as a surprise to you, but not every conversation about
cycling has to, or should, revolve around doping. The guy is as tough
as they come, he's got a reputation for fair play, he works very hard
(regardless of who he's working for, I don't care), he damn near
killed himself in a crash last year and then gets up after a serious
crash this year and soldiers on. Oh, yeah, he didn't crash due to
poor bike handling skills, he had a flat during a high speed descent.
Anyone would've crashed, but not just anyone would get up, dust
himself off, and finish the stage.

Not to mention beating up a kid and taking his bike to do it!

You're right. Anyone who associates with bicycle racers, or who is
one, cannot be trusted. For that matter, anyone who even rides a
bicycle probably has mafia connections.

Dumbass,
Who gives a shit?
Bike racing is entertainment, not a competition
to see who can be the most principled asshole.
You don't always get to choose to work for the
sweetest most squeaky clean boss. Not in
our lives either.
In Voigt's diary entry, after falling off he tells of thinking
of a Conan the Barbarian story where Conan is an
old guy and thinks wearily, "Oh man, it's going to take
days to kill all these people!" That's pretty damn funny.

What are you - 12? GTFU already. You watch bike racing, not the
Ecclesiastical Olympics. The adoration and saintly glow that is
projected onto sports stars is normal for a 12 year old, but as in
many things in life, you have to leave that behind when you mature.
No one in pro cycling is obligated to tell the truth in an
entertainment interview. There is no law. Is there doping in
cycling? Duh.
What about a team not disclosing a broken bone in the elbow of a GC
contender, and you bet without that knowledge. What are you hoping
for - a do-over?
Whether Voight doped, doesn't dope, still dopes, knows dopers, read
about dopers, knew a kid whose brother knew a doper, doesn't change
the fact that he is likable, funny, hard-working and generally good
natured. You know, 1/you.

Jens needs to HTFU and carry a roll of duct tape with him
so that he can stop whining like a girl and repair frames
on the spot.

Eugene Christophe didn't repair his frame on the spot. He had to walk 8
miles with it first.

If Jens had had a roll of duct tape the Tour would
have eventually erected a statue at the location.

Neat.
"In it, the protagonist is Conan the Barbarian,"
The reporter got it wrong.
That is Cohen the Barbarian.
