It’s a little bit like Dave Stoller’s “Breaking Away” dad waking up from a nightmare screaming “Refund!? Refund!?” except in this case it’s “Recall!? Recall!?”

He did so without admitting to the allegations that he used banned substances and improper methods to gain an edge in the sport of cycling to win an unprecedented seven Tours de France.
