Default Should Basso be made to sing like a bird?

According to Pat McQuaid he should because its in the rules.

"But McQuaid told a media conference at the 2007 Giro in Sardinia: "He has now admitted his guilt but for nine months he lied to everyone in the cycling family, to the media, to sponsors and even when he went into a new team, he lied to his new team mates."

He added: "I don't believe he deserves a reduction [in any suspension]. The rules state that riders need to give specific information and name names. We have not seen that."

Just banning him forever would be fine. He's such a total liar, that if he 'sang like a bird' could anyone believe single thing he said? A man who would even perjur his dog, can't get a lot lower than that.
