	Voet: The sport's as dirty as it ever was (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Willy Voet, the man who achieved notoriety as the Festina soigneur found with a carload of drugs at the start of the 1998 Tour de France, claims that cycling is no cleaner today than it was four years ago, despite the fact that not a single rider in this summer's Tour tested positive.
		Voet's controversial comments come in the wake of the arrest and detention of Edita Rumsas, wife of Tour de France third-place finisher Raimondas Rumsas, who was caught with performance-enhancing drugs including EPO in her car last weekend.
		Voet's provocative claims about the drug culture in cycling could land him in the courts, as he faces being sued by 1997 Tour winner Jan Ullrich over remarks that all winners of cycling's premier event in recent years had taken drugs.

	Willy Voet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is most widely known for his involvement in the infamous Festina doping scandal which plagued the 1998 Tour de France (often dubbed the "Tour of Shame").
		Further investigations lead to the suspension, arrest and prosecution of numerous Festina and TVM team riders and support staff.
		Voet's book Massacre à la Chaîne (translated as "Breaking The Chain") was released in 2002.

	Willy Voet: Breaking the Chain a jpoc book review
		Willy Voet worked for many years as a soigneur for some of the world's top professional road racing teams.
		Voet himself was briefly imprisoned and then kicked out of the sport which was quite prepared to sacrifice him as a single rotten apple.
		Voet's motivation in writing this book is, at least in part, to justify himself by explaining that he did nothing that was not common practice throughout the sport.

	New Statesman - The Tour must go on
		Willy Voet is one of those unhappy figures whose lives, through chance or destiny, are transformed by a single, isolated event.
		This is a shame, as the revelations about drug abuse that Voet publicises in his book are memorable, as are the consequences: police raids on the cyclists' hotels both in the 1998 Tour de France and last month in the Giro d'Italia brought the races to a strike and a halt.
		Voet regularly took stimulants, first as an amateur cyclist in the 1960s, and then to help him ride the 130,000km every year as his job demanded.

		Willy Voet was, as anyone besides the most dedicated cyclista can be forgiven for forgetting, the Festina team soigneur who was stopped by customs officers at the Belgian border on the eve of the 1998 Tour.
		For this exploit, Voet gained a brief notoriety as the 1998 Tour descended into grim farce, with the police raiding hotel rooms and arresting cyclists for questioning.
		Whatever pretension Voet has to being a whistle-blower rings pretty hollow, given that the book is the work of a convicted man. In the end, his finest revelation - unintentionally its funniest - comes right at the off.

	Tour Coach Admits Giving Team Drugs
		A worker for the Festina team, Willy Voet, 53, a masseur, was arrested last week at the French-Belgian border, near Lille, and his official Tour de France team car was found to be full of drugs.
		Voet at first insisted that the drugs were for his personal use but then reportedly said that he was taking them to Dublin, where the 85th Tour started last Saturday, at the order of Festina officials, including Roussel, the directeur sportif, or coach.
		Voet was said to have told the police that he was to turn the drugs over to Dr. Eric Ryckaert, 52, a Belgian and the Festina doctor.

		The sport is still reeling from the explosion of controversy that was sparked by the arrest of Team Festina backroom staff member Willy Voet and his cargo of narcotics, on the Franco-Belgian border on July 8, 1998.
		Voet's role as team "pharmacist"--ferrying and administering the cocktails of performance-enhancing drugs--made him the invisible hand that shaped the fortunes of one of the sport's most successful teams and he spares little detail in relating how it was done.
		On 8 July 1998 Festina team soigneur Willy Voet was stopped by the police.

		Voet introduces us to a world not unlike that of the Kray brothers, with a complete reversal of all the values that we more-or-less honest people live by, the world of the criminal mentality.
		Voet shoots up with a mixture of amphetamines, caffeine, cocaine, heroin, painkillers and corticosteroids (the notorious 'Belgian mix') merely to drive the car.
		According to Voet he injected the rider, who turned in the time-trial of his life, and never told him that the syringe was full of nothing but glucose.

		Voet, along with Festina manager Bruno Roussel, was subsequently tried for administering and transporting drugs.
		Voet was given a 10 month suspended sentence and a 30,000 franc fine ($US 4,200).
		During their investigations on the 1998 Tour de France, the French police were criticised for their heavy-handed approach and insensitivity towards exhausted riders; they were seemingly oblivious to the negative impact on one of France's sporting monuments.

		Breaking the Chain by Willy Voet is a much grimmer story, concentrating on the Festina drugs 'n' cycling scandal of 1998.
		Mr Voet was not a competitor himself but a soigneur or team helper who in July of that year was stopped by the police on the Franco-Belgian border and found to be carrying a cargo of erythroporetin, growth hormone, testosterone, amphetamines and something called `Belgian mix'.
		In this confessional book, Willy Voet indulges in expressions like `So there I was' and 'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy', but describes in unsparing detail the tricks of the trade which cheating sportsmen have used in modern times.

		Once Voet was released from prison he was ostracized by former colleagues and friends, which led the Frenchman writing his memoires "Breaking The Chain", in which he exposed the extensive and systematic doping practices of the cycling world.
		Voet admitted that seeing the Tour on his doorstep brought back many happy memories, but stressed that he was content with his lot.
		If Voet does get the gig, let's hope for the paper's sake that he does not get up to his old habits and neck a few doses of pot belge to keep him up driving (on and on and on and on...) all night.

		Ryckaert has recognized there was doping but never administered or delivered banned substances, his lawyer Alain Demarcq said after a hearing last Thursday during which Voet and team leader Richard Virenque were also questioned.
		Ryckaert is under investigation for contraband, illegal circulation of prohibited merchandise, transport, possession and use of stimulants, administration, instigation to use and the supply of substances or doping procedures during sporting competitions or events, court sources said.

		Last year I was disappointed, bitter, very shocked by what I heard, by what we discovered upon the arrest of Willy Voet.
		Yes and no. If one thinks about it, one can understand the position of Bruno Roussel, who had put measures into place to prevent his riders from making even worse mistakes, that they were going to other doctors without him being aware of it.
		On the other hand, what strikes me as pure folie is the quantity of drugs which were found in the car of Voet, which left me flabbergasted.
