Thomas Dekker, who has been fired by his Silence-Lotto team this week after the counter-analysis of his December 2007 doping control also came back positive, intends to sit out his punishment and then return to racing. “I know that my reputation is gone. I am the only one who can clear my name, through my future performance on the bike.”
