The cyclist that just wont go away

[Grahame]

I tried to order an American copy from a well known online retailer's US site. They chickened out and sent one from their UK site claiming they were out of stock in the US

Well, who'd have thought it?

On a serious note, my sincere apologies again to Marco and anyone else I've argued with in defence of this lying, doped-up drug-monkey. That's a very large slice of cake I owe you, Marco.

[quote="John G"]I have a sneaking suspicion that Wiggo was doped at the 2009 TdF when he came 4th ... thoughts anyone?

Surely he did it at some stage in his career .... I wonder why no one is talking about this

At least "It's Not About the Bike" makes good cat litter.

I had to take an angle grinder to my Jim'll Fix it badge.

of course armstrong was a doper...he did whatever it took to win...in that sense he was just being the most professional pro cyclist of the era...the thing that really sticks in the throat is f**king pat mcquaid still claiming the uci have no role in anything and nothing to investigate...

if you haven't already then i highly recommend reading the 'reasoned decision' document from usada..ok it's 200 pages but they are double spaced...and there are all sorts of extras if you go to the appendices and supporting materials tab...including the interview above...the whole thing stinks.

[quote="marco"]Cheers Dombo, i can appreciate how you feel, there was a period in my life where he was an inspiration to me and people close to me as well, it's painful to have that suddenly pulled away whether it was back years ago or this month.

Re JohnG's question - National pride comes into it, with Lance all the signs were there but people chose to look away.
Dodgy doctors, miracle performances, team mates riding out of their skin better than they ever did on EPO at other teams, dodgy DS, sudden weight loss with no loss of power, attacking the doubters, shady coaches. It just depends how closely you want to look at these things. When it's someone we want to identify with, the answer is often 'not too closely'.
