Riisin tunnustusten jälkeen ASO luokitteli hänet ei-toivotuksi henkilöksi kuluvan vuoden Touriin. ASO tuntuu kuitenkin unohtavan noita kärähdyksiä aina kun se sille sopii:

* Hinault (avoided doping test, now leads the podium presentations at the Tour)
* Thevenet (admitted to doping for his two Tour wins, now accredited by the ASO as a commentator for TV)
* Virenque (admitted to doping, got to keep all his wins and polka-dot jerseys, now accredited by ASO as a commentator for TV)
* Lelangue (used to work for ASO, moved to the Phonak team (13 doping infractions), now back at the Tour)
* LeBlanc (presided over the Tour in the mid-nineties when it was complicit to doping, still active for ASO)
* Lefevere (admitted to doping, now team manager for Quickstep, welcome at the Tour without a problem)
* Godefroot (Riis’ team manager back in 1996, now consultant to Astana, which was invited by ASO to the Tour (even though they didn’t have to invite them but I am sure the Kazach money was good))
* Merckx (tested positive, often a guest of honor at the Tour)
* Zoetemelk (positive several times, works at the Tour for Rabobank)
* Altig (admitted to doping, until last year accredited by the ASO as a journalist)
* Aldag (admitted to doping, team manager for T-Mobile in the Tour)
* Henn (admitted to doping, team manager for Gerollsteiner in the Tour)
* Fignon (twice positive, now accredited by the ASO as a commentator for TV and a welcome guest)
