Doping, Vino and human rights...?!

Was just reading Vino's statement on CN, "In cycling nobody respects human rights," said Vinokourov in an exclusive interview with Reuters. "The situation is now worse than any other sport. I hope the truth will be found and I am going to fight for it."
What! How is that then, he is in a self-inflicted situation and cycling has to be the way it is to clean up the sport. I'd say it's in the interests of the health of the riders and the 'rights' of sponsors and spectators. He also moans about the need for riders to inform of their whereabouts during the year. Heck, some of these guys need to realise they have a year-round job not just February to October. I work all year round, my employer expects me to show up every day, or if I don't then he wants to know where I am.... it's no different in my mind.
I don't have the whole picture with regard to Vino's case as I'm on the outside looking in but just what is the "truth" he talks about? I note he hasn't said he's innocent and issued a denial of the charges against him (unless I missed it which iss possible), so is this it? Idiot, though perhaps he's just a puppet of his legal team, as is Ullrich.
OK, just needed to get it off my chest, I would have liked to thump him after reading it. Thanks for listening.
