WTF?? I think you may be his biggest fan!! No, not at all! However, if you are able to ride and finish Giro and TdF you can make a noise if you like - if not, shut up!

Hey Porky and co. True, LA may not be in shape etc etc etc. As for your constant uncalled for sarcasm and personal attacks on the man: 1. Who asked your opinion; 2. You talk a lot, but where are/were you riding? (Probably opinionated lowly seeded fun rider) 3. If you can not contribute constructively rather keep your senseless drivel to yourself!

[Did you enjoy your 22nd post?] Totally uncalled for MAMPARA! Does the 11859 posts you have make you feel superior or does it make your views more important. You must be a real Mampara for spending so much time on The Hub. Shame - no other interests/ hobbies and evidently very few friends (if any). Oh and yes, I am thoroughly enjoying my 2c worth

Agree Scotty! Bustthesickness, for your own good I suggest you go slow with the remarks - don't overestimate the anonimity and protection of the internet and the username.

Hoekom sal die SA PRO'S respond? CSA skep die indruk dat hulle nie in staat is om regtig die wortel van die probleem te vind en dan op te tree nie. As die "powers to be" dan so baie info tot hulle beskikking het en ernstig is daaroor om iets omtrent die saak te doen, DOEN DIT DAN!!! Dan kan al die ongegronde bespiegelings en wilde aantygings en geskinder einde kry en kan ons aangaan en vorentoe gaan met ons sport.

My suggestion is, rather just leave this issue until such time LA can be successfully prosecuted of doping. Comments calling him a wheelsucker etc. is just simply irrational and very childish. Surely he has done enough in TT's to convince any enthusiast that he is a superb athlete.

Either way - LA is buggered if he does hit back, buggered if he doesn't. Problem is, he was never found guilty of doping. Until he is found guilty or take the Riis route of admitting anything, this whole discussion is pure unfounded speculation. Fact remains, LA won enough TdF's for WADA to have had the chance to catch him. You don't have to like him - I can bet you it does not really matter much to him. By the way - what qualifies you to have these strong opinions on the credibility of internationally accredited laboratories?
