Sven Nys said he was surprised by charges that former Rabobank team doctor Geert Leinders was involved in doping whilst at that team. “I know Geert as a very honest person, with whom I always worked correctly,” he said.
Uh, ya.

I was thinking the same thing. He's had an almost "unbelievable" season this year.

The cynics and anti dopers have taken all the fun out of cycling. Now we question every win and every denial, as though it really matters in the great scheme of things. Having my life flash before my eyes a week ago put things in a totally different level. We live and we die, so try and enjoy your time here rather than finding fault with others.
I rarely participate on cycling forums any longer since they become despots for the anti doper jihadists. -
A translation of the full Het Nieuwsblad article puts less sinister spin on the matter
One of the athletes who are closest to the former Belgian cycling doctor of Rabobank who now is under fire, Geert Leinders, is Sven Nys. The cyclo-cross learned to know him in his Rabo-period (1998-2008) and there was a personal friend.
' Yes, I'm surprised ', says Nys. ' I know Geert as a very honest person, with whom I always worked correctly. He was enormously important in my career. He wrote once my training schedule 's and an athlete can analyze and motivate good psychologically. We will call each other still occasionally. Geert also knows me through and through. He is the man who gives me Council after a season not too long to lie quiet cyclocross as you get older. These are small details that have ensured that I never have made errors. That he is now so in the news comes, so very much surprises me. ' -
how do you say "tranquillo" in Flemish?

Merry Christmas, Bob!
Let's agree to disagree some other day.

Having written training for a rider who later proved to have been bending the rules behind my back, I can assure you that it is possible to be in the dark about it. I was in shock when I figured it out. (OK, I'm a twit.) Yet this 'shock' was despite my having been a professional rider myself, despite my knowing how to read between the lines on chem panels, despite insider suspicions about the teams he rode for, despite being fairly close to this person, despite my having a naturally skeptical disposition. No person, it seems to me, is 100% the one thing that we know about him. Or, worse, have read about him.

Jacobus - yes the original is different in message from the rough translation of the link in the OP. Happens all the time, they got some shit for brain translators working for them or trying to stir the pot intentionally.
