Hello, I cleaned this article up a bit (it could still use some work, though).

• in the following passage: after Christophe Dupouye confessed having been doped when he won the title the same jear, he got the rainbow jearsey from ch. Dupouye handed over as friendly act in an inofficial ceremony, I replaced the reference to Christophe Dupouye with Jerome Chiotti, and cite my source.

• I also deleted the following passage: 2001 and 2002 he was on the WCSs podium, winning silver and bronze, sharing it with two riders that admitted doping in 2004/5. So indeed he is inofficial triple Worldchampion (five times, including Marathon)., because I could not find any verification, and fear it may be an overstatement. One of those 'admitting doping' was Roland Green, who got busted for what has been called 'improper paperwork' for his asthma medication - see "Green positive tied to inhaler and paperwork issues" (VeloNews),

I added a link to 'GP Tell' (gp-tell.ch), but could not verify the claim of winner of 2 stages and points leader. According to the site, there was no GP Tell in 1994 -- and a search for 'Frischknecht' on the site comes up empty. However, the info is from Frischi's home page, and who am I to argue? I prominently show the source of the claim. Similarly, the claim that Thomas' father won a Swiss stage race called Grandprixtell in the early 1990s could not be verified (is Grandprixtell the same as GP Tell)?
