I have to admit I like the candor:

Kitchingman said Wednesday. "I got caught playing with fire, and I'll have to reconsider what I was doing. I'm not going to deny it like everybody else who got caught. It's not going to happen again. Unfortunately, because this is a competitive business, you do stuff you've got to do to try to win races."

Very un-"Bondsian."

Unfortunately, as has been echoed recently on this board, the cheat, starve or quit world these guys are operating in has probably created a lot of guys like Kitchingman. Hopefully, many of them will now rethink some recent poor decisions sensing that perhaps the tide has turned and the industry is finally going to start cracking down on the cheats and begin to level the playing field.
