Imaz' favourite cyclist, who apparently, is the only one never to have used performance enhancing drugs??
He told SSN today that he hoped Southampton would be relegated. The bird didn't know what to say back to him!
Have you seen any interviews with the other cyclists? Wiggins likes his beers but is no cheat. The programme a little while ago on him would convince you. Pendleton would have had some sort of crying breakdown and admited that she cheated live on tv by now, shes a bit mental. And mostly they are not Americans!
But she hasn't had any right?? She said she wants them?? Victoria Pendleton has said the same thing but you're quite sure she isn't clean???
Up there with doper Freddy Maertens and greatest UK cyclist by a huge margin. Can't stand lying hypocrites. For what it's worth I knew Gantone Nencini's family reasonably well. Doping killed him as it killed Tommy Simpson, Nencini's widow seriously shocked me many tears ago when she spoke of TS's death.
Watching last year's Tour and the SKY farce should be enough to convince anyone. Marginal gains my arse.
Just from a common sense point of view, anyone who watches cycling and has competed at any level of sport should be very dubious about the sport. Are we saying that a human being can cycle around the whole of france at that speed for that amount of time whilst not taking anything? Do you realise the distances and terrain involved. Personally i dont think they are all at it..The clean ones are the ones you see at the back of the bunch! Sport in general is riddled with drug cheats and you only have to watch the Ben Johnson Doco on His time winning the 100m sprint to realise that the yanks have been using it in the olympics for years.100's of tests in the LA olympics were "lost" and when later evidence was found they decided not to publish it. Maybe some drugs should be allowed as many of them only allow for a faster recovery rate than normal. The cyclists, sprinter, rowers or who-ever still have to put the hard graft in to improve. they just get the opportunity to train more. Dont see the problem with that myself. It happened oved the last 10 yrs in rugby where teams have gone Pro, thus allowing them to train more and the standard of thier performances have improved...I'm ok with that lastly, drugs are only another scientific devolpment in sport. We alraedy have swim/sprint suits, Custom made spike and running shoes, Tartan designed running tracks and equiptment, differing diets and training regimes, altitude training,food suppliments and nutritional additives...would it really be so bad if they were accepted? Would at least provide a level playing field for all. Just a thought?
Good post Queenslander. http://justcycling.myfastforum.org/archive/o_t__t_1748__start_100__index.html
Now I get it. Stamford, the NOTW is still running. Its just called The Sun on Sunday now. Couldn't agree more. Well said Queens. Oi Queens, bump up that Automobile thread. You never answered my question on it!!!!!!
If you look on the cycling forums, they all think sky dope and I'm inclined to believe that. They were on another level to the competition.
That was so funny, wasn't it Staines? Only on this Board would you get a thread about cycling turn into one about mutated clitorises before the first page is out!
Wow! This thread comes across as if Lance Armstrong, Bradley Wiggins and the world of competitive cycling is remotely interesting. I just don't get the whole "Mamil" thing at all.
what a load of bollocks!. Sky were the best team because they have vast amounts of dosh to buy the best equiptment,the best coaches and the best riders. No way they would get away with doping,etc now.Tests are more advanced and more frequent. Wasnt Wiggins tested more than any other rider?.The other important barometer is that the average times the 'dopers' were clocking up over the huge mountains faster than the times the riders are doing now.I heard someone saying that Wiggins Tour,winning time would have put him in 5th or 6th place,when they were all doping!.If they were all still doing it,the times would be quicker.
