Fried Chicken!

Sorry…couldn’t resist! :wink:

I was really hoping for a good recipe…

Skin your chicken pieces (if you like or leave the skin on) and pierce and soak in a mixture of Tabasco (I use about 3/4 cup for a whole fryer cut up), cayenne pepper (I’d use maybe 1/4 cup) , some water to thin it out a little (maybe 1/2 cup), and a little bit of Dijon mustard (couple of tablespoons). Proportions depend on how flaming hot you want it, but make enough marinade so the chicken is nearly swimming in it in a large baking pan. Turn frequently. Best if you let it sit for at least 4 hours or can go overnight in fridge.

Heat up your oil for deep frying. Coat the chicken with self-rising flour seasoned with salt and pepper, and fry it up.

Way better than Popeye’s.

So the penalty for missing a few doping tests is the same as testing positive for doping? Am I missing something here?

Oops, forgot: nom nom nom nom nom.

Easy, Ken…

The first thing you want to do is some squats…

:wink:

Yeah…its a slow day at work…

I’ve been hankering for some good fried chicken for a while (I have the absolute worst diet of about any triathlete I know), and plan on cookin’ up a mess tomorrow night after a much-needed track workout. Always looking for improvements on my recipe.

If it wasn’t wouldn’t everyone hide in the far corners of the world, DOPE like armegeddon was coming and show up to race>

No, because then we’d test positive for steroids at races?

My point is that I think it’s slightly odd that the penalty for simply not showing up to a test is the same as showing up and testing positive.

Kind of like declining to take the test is treated as a positive test, same idea, same treatment.

kind of like DUI, refuse to take a test and lets see how long you keep your license.

Exactly, except you get 2 (or 3?) missed tests, which all in all isn’t a bad deal if you know you’ve got dope in your system when they show up you can run out the back door at least one time. And Rasmussen missed 3 or 4 tests in all, just they were from different organizations. And it became well known he didn’t miss the tests for legitimate reasons, but purposely lied about his whereabouts. Also rumours around he actually was “positive” for a form of EPO during the Tour last year but with a yet to be approved test that just might just be “on-line” in time for the Tour this year.

Yeah, I hear ya. I definitely get that point. I just wonder if the penalty for “refusing to take a DUI test” is the same as the DUI itself (maybe it is, I have no idea), and to apply the analogy here, I question whether having the penalty for missing a test (or in Rasmussen’s case, 3-4 tests) is worthy of the same suspension as an actual positive test. I mean, I don’t know a lot about Rasmussen’s particular situation other than what I heard on Versus and read in a few articles, but there’s gotta be a chance that he didn’t dope, in spite of missing the tests!

Yeah, but you can dope, have the chemicals leave your system and still reap the benefits, all the while testing clean in the “A” race. Seems just to me to ban someone for missing tests, let alone telling lies on where you were (claimed south america, seen in italy).
