Don't think they called it; Duminy should have left it for Behardien.

Watched this match live (and yes, sorry, I was supporting the Black Caps, after all I've lived here for over 4 years). Absolutely excellent game of cricket. And Blitzer, guess what, the Kiwis played a better game, it is reflected in the outcome. SA's fielding and especially the dropped catch and two missed runouts are what lost the match for them. Full credit though - SA played a magnificent game, making for one of the best matches I've ever watched (I'd previously reserved that for the earlier NZ/Aus game.)

Once again we see that being a top pro cyclist depends on a team which consists of doctors, pharmacists, lawyers and spin doctors. But mostly lawyers and spin doctors, the higher you go. See Richard Poplak's rather good story on Daily Maverick: http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2014-07-02-impey-on-the-edge-the-tour-de-france-yellow-jersey-wearer-busted/#.U7XJR_mSySo Probenecid? Nah, never heard of that! Though I might have gout, you never know. Bah, humbug. It's the usual lie, deny, what, me?! Never! And I'm SUCH a nice guy, so why would I dope? As if being a nice guy doesn't mean you juice. Come on man. How long has this been going on for in pro cycling? Forever - look at George, Stewart, Fouche, Pepper, McLeod, Hoffman - and now Impey. You think these guys aren't juicing? And quite a lot of them are simply welcomed back into the fold, good old omerta alive and well, just like in the protour peloton.

As we all do - then it's still just you who can do something about it!

You and me

Lost me completely on cutting out beer....

Never have heroes, apart from your own self. You will be disappointed.

They. ALL. Dope. Still. End of.

Yup, if you get caught doing knots, you are in SERIOUS trouble - and will make the news for sure. Which isn't to say people don't do it. The trick is not to get caught

Got this 17 year old the other day. Had only done 2900 miles when I got it; lashed a Yoshi pipe on it and love it. Might be 90s technology (1997 RF900R-V) but still goes like a cut cat. 101kW at 11000RPM and tops out, I'm told, at 165MPH. Haven't seen it, though, do speeds like that and you lose your license and have to sell the bike to pay the fine...

Awesome. Queenstown is gorgeous, went there last winter. Didn't see the lil ferrets, though!

Bruce Foulis explains that in the CB clip - it is worthless and so it should be.

Seems Robbie falls into the camp of 'some people who want a look-alike, but can't afford to pay the price.'

Ja and then two minutes later he says he rides a fake bike (but the shop doesn't stock or push them). Ummm...sure.

Sheesh just watched the clip. Andrew, you've got the temperament of an angel. If I had P'sOS lying to my face like that, suggesting I take a lie detector test, I'd strip my moer big time. What utter douchebags.

The right price is the price that the market will bear.

Oh thanks Tumbles

Don't mention the sheep.

[Robbie and John sold fake Pinarellos].....regardless of the fact that [they were] jeopardizing [their own] livelihood. [They have] only [themselves] to blame [for breaking the law and misleading their loyal clients]. No one put a gun to [their] heads. Take responsibility! There, Corleoni (gangster, huh?), helped you out a bit.

Here's a thing. We all know who Andrew Armstrong is. He has the courage to put his name and face to his claims. Who are you?

Roll the dice pay the price. Don't like the consequences? Then don't gyppo the system. Simple.

So, after all this...is it about the bike...or not? This particular Armstrong has made a case study of the concept of 'don't get mad...get even'. Well played, sir.

Andrew, I'd just like to say, you are a freakin legend. Happy birthday,

Fair enough, apologies for suggesting otherwise.

Get your bike serviced in Aussie. Or watch some You Tube, 90% of routine maintenance can be done by yourself (if you're into that sort of thing).
