I edited it because I can't say for certain that that's the case, but if even I had heard the rumours (with no industry connections/insiders), I find it impossible to believe that someone like Barel wouldn't have. Even if he hadn't, someone in the team absolutely would have done, and again I find it hard to believe it wouldn't get raised. However, I don't find it impossible to believe that someone high up at Canyon could be unaware of these rumours, but then be unhappy if they found out their new marquee signing has a fairly big black cloud over...
