1) he is not associated with their event
2) why is he poison? Because he stopped toeing to pro-cycling line?
3) you should turn up & have a chat.

Because he cheated, lied about it. Collected money from innocent people to pay for his "not guilty" defence when he knew he was guilty. Have fun riding with Floyd and I'm happy to know that he is not associated with the organization. By the way I wish I lived in the area, I would definitately show up and ask him for a refund for my Positively false book that I bought!

That said, I will say that it's nice of him to help with a charity, hope people have fun. I'm sorry if I came out strong but I was supporting this guy when he was saying that he was clean so I felt a bit betrayed when the truth came out. Hope you guys have have a good ride.

Questions for you.

1) would you prefer that he didn't come forward & tell the truth?
2) how many pro cyclists over the history of time have taken PEDs, and come forward & told the truth?

I don't know...I am more disappointed with the ones that perpetuate the myth. The whole world, barring the seriously misguided, knows what has gone on in cycling. Not many of the professionals are willing to try to break the cycle & speak out.

He didn't "come forward and tell the truth". He was caught. Only after taking all that money while lying.

I will never understand the propensity of people to make heroes out of the guys who merely finally admit breaking the rules when they've already been caught. Like it's some sort of virtue.

1) Who is making a hero out of him?
2) Plenty get caught, and still lie. Not a lot admit, whether it be straight away or 4 years later.

I welcome any cyclist coming out & admitting what they they did. To me, it's a great step for the athlete & hopefully for the sport. A far cry from making them heroes.

Knowing a little about cycling culture, admitting all wouldn't be an easy thing to do - which is why you see very famous cyclists still denying they took drugs. Which is better for the sport?

It takes a fair bit of courage to spit in the soup. Ask Cristophe Bassons what it did for his cycling career.

Ah I see. You're not making a hero out of him but "it takes a fair bit of courage". Got it. Yeah he sure is courageous. How much courage do you suppose it takes to pay back the 1,000,000 dollars you raised while insisting over and over again to everyone you were clean? Is it more courageous to come forward before the year you spend trying to get back into the sport or after you realize nobody but Rock Racing will hire you?

Couldn't agree more with this! F that guy. I supported his defense financially and to others. He lied and made liars out of many. F him. The autographed photo will stay in the bottom of my "shit I don't know what to do with" box for a very long time.
