LMAO
Very good!

 
Ohhh no - I can't believe this. Everything was looking SO bright.

The all new coverage of Ironman events since he's been racing WTC (St.Croix was awesome...refresh...click...refresh...click...).

The increased sponsorship that's flowing through the professional ranks (You know - that beer company sponsored an event in Canada or something?)

Sod it - I was gonna go out and increase the mortgage to finish off the pool.


Damn you USADA.

Seriously, when I read that article, I had the impression I was reading the Onion, just like one guy said in the comments. Just really weird.

I think he just doesnt give a rats ass anymore. I mean really...he's been fighting this crap for how long? IMO..he doped and so did everyone else he raced against (take a look at everyone who has stood on a podium with him and if they got busted). I dont really care if he did or didnt, I think he is an amazing cyclist, but I can see from his perspective, his cycling career is over now and everyone can basically kiss his ass.

Yeah why investigate fraud in big business? Just arrest them poor people. And healthcare, because letting our kids get involved in the sport and injecting EPO and steroids is healthy.

a rationale post on this subject. thank you. I mean it. I'm up here in Canada watching the USA continually bump into sharp objects (Anyone read about JP Morgan this morning?) but people are still wanting to hunt an athlete's drug taking from 1999 on either tax payers money, or in the case of USADA, us as athlete's money!! Your country is in a serious, serious financial shit sandwich but big time $$ is being spent on this?

Light bulb moment: he did it, everyone at Le Tour did it, we all agree about it, move on and care about something else.

flame away.

@rhyspencer

So which Triathlon organizations/races are covered by USADA and which aren't?

Are there any agreements in place that the different organizations respect one another's doping suspensions?

Yeah, like this:

"I think tomorrow, he's really going to feel that."
Classic.

It's been very interesting to see this tidal shift over the last few years. Seems like to me this debate was initially about 50/50 between "of course he doped" and "no he didn't, genetic freak, worked harder than everyone else...", then it was "of course he doped" and "well he may have doped but until a court convicts him, we have to give him the benefit of the doubt", now pretty much everyone agrees of course he doped.

I'm still looking forward to the books from some riders to give more details on how the doping game was played.

And this is WHY I no longer frequent the other forums! Classic prose like this keeps me here. Dude, that was classic and dammit someone already claimed it as their new sig.

+1

This would have gotten you banned at BT......

Love it

What big business? Cycling? Postal Service? Neither are a blip on the radar in business.

Who is arresting poor people based on being poor?

How is USADA preventing kids from steroids or EPO? I think colleges and talent scouts are much more to blame for youth doping than anything else. In order to get the contract or to get a free ride into college, you have to be juiced up.

And when does an asthmatic kids inhaler become a PED?

I usually agree with you Jack, but not on that line of thinking.

I would much rather have our judicial system go after the toxins that apparently seem to run rampant in the water in North Carolina. Turning people stupid down there. Forget EPO, get EPA to fix the stupidy in the water source.

You guys attorneys or investigators or something?

Lets just watch the Giro!

"One Line Robert"

Very well said. One thing you can always count on is the stupidity of the American government. And I love how JPM tried to pass off this loss as a hedge yesterday. Yeah right.

I don't see anything wrong with the article...if he doesn't give a sh*t as he says then neither should we, honestly.

I think now that there isn't the possibility of criminal charges he doesn't really care about the possible outcomes of any other findings, charges, loss of titles, etc. Although if there were true evidence and facts brought to light, he may not care, but the cycling, sports and triathlon world will explode in a frenzy over it.

< Quitting Isn't An Option >

LOL, read "Dog in a hat". It will open your eyes to how they did it in the old days. Much more sophisticated now, and easier to get and to hide, but monitored much more effeciently. It really is a joke. Personal preference at this point.

LA, I don't know if he did or didnt, but regardless, he is still a special athlete, a genetic freak, and did more training and smarter than most. EPO and steriods alone don't make you a super star. If they could, I can go juice up, sit on my couch, occassionally soft pedal, then go out and destroy a pro field at the TdF? Awesome!!!

Here is the secret, EPO and Steriods LET you train HARDER because it helps you recover faster so you can go again. It's the same as giving a CEO more HOURS in the day so he/she can spend more time WORKING to make more money. So while everyone else gets 24 hours per day so they can sleep 8 hours and then work 9 hours, then 7 hours of travel or kids or eating or watching oprah, the CEO gets 28 hours to work 20 hours, sleep 7 hours, then cry in a corner 1 hour. The CEO was going to work 20 hours per day regardless, but now he got 4 hours extra to sleep and potentially make better decisions because he got to rest a bit more and recover from the previous days work.

Pretty close analogy....
