'YOU can trust our guys totally,' was the word coming out of the Guernsey Velo Club yesterday as the Lance Armstrong drugs story moved across the world quicker than EPO-boosted blood passes through a cheat's veins.

'YOU can trust our guys totally,' was the word coming out of the Guernsey Velo Club yesterday as the Lance Armstrong drugs story moved across the world quicker than EPO-boosted blood passes through a cheat's veins.

Guernsey Velo Club president Gary Wallbridge and the club's development officer, Paul Brehaut, were both damning of the disgraced American.

At the same time Brehaut, pictured, strongly emphasised that no-one should think for one moment that any of Guernsey's top riders, in what is a golden era for the sport locally, is cheating.

'I believe everybody in Guernsey cycling is legal,' he said, adding: 'The Island Games next year in Bermuda will have testing because not everyone is as honest as Guernsey people.'
