Can a medicine of performance be credible ? Interview with Prentice Steffen

Prentice Steffen, doctor of team Garmin-Sharp, tempered Gérard Guillaume’s position while emphasizing the importance of trust, which must be consolidated with a doctor who has an expertise in physiology, "if he is straight with the ethic, and honest, so I do not really see a problem with it to extend its involvement to the performance."

Nevertheless, he joined Gérard Guillaume on the question of performance bonuses, which are also expressly prohibited by the UCI regulations: "I have no categorical objection against a doctor who would be involved in the performance, as long as he is honest and is not only motivated by the fact of making money."
