goya-goya

Do you want to WIN or do you want to be RIGHT? if you want to be RIGHT then let your kids ride alone... hey why not even let them take the bus to town... hey what about hitch-hiking! and when something bad happens[sic] then you can blame everything... but it does not change the fact that something bad happened if you want to WIN... take the precautions that are required in a not so perfect society that we live in so that if anything bad happens... you know you did all you could... I hope that nothing bad ever happens to anyone... so please rather choose to WIN

HAHAHA

Sounds like you are on the same page me!

ahhh... with age does not always come experience...

Pardon my utter ignorance to your chirp... But I have no idea what you mean???

If the witnesses where coerced into testifying against Lance, by being offered immunity if they witnessed the alleged events... and they were guilty[sic].. it stinks dude! In my humble opinion, we will see Lance vindicated... and UCI and WADA will stop the witch-hunting on past alleged transgressors... very quietly.

"Fact: Former teammates have spoken about an organised doping programme in which LA was involved. Fact: USADA has charged LA with that. Fact: That's enough to find a guilty verdict. Opinion: Whether or not the panel will see it as sufficient." @tumbleweed: Some more facts for you: a) your "Fact" 1) the fact that someone spoke out against him is one of the reason for his claim - or did you not read the facts? secondly B) Your "Fact" 3) it may only be enough if it was not done properly The people @christie spoke about could not be bothered with the process... that does not make Lance guilty... I think we all wanna be right here... kinda like religion... you have to right else...OOPS! So you protect your belief with anything to feel better... mmm... is that what I am doing

@onetrackmind: nah... you are full of opinions... none of them truly based on fact I cant wait till he is acquitted... remember rules are rules... and when he is acquitted - it never happened!

Go lance-go!!

I would have liked to say that I planted that mistake to weed out the double agents among us... but I am not that clever!

I dont mind being wrong... The blog 150watts is just an opinion... the final decision will lie with someone who resides over the claim-and there is space for interpretation other than the letter of the law... But I have chosen a side and that is the side I will stick to... @tumbleweed: Lance has had more doping than anyone has... and he has never complained - to my knowledge... the case has nothing to do with the testing... it has to do more with the allegations of doping and conspiring to cover it up - they are using this to open the door on the statute of limitations - that is legal tap dancing! Its easy to take the "high-road" because that is what is expected... I am soooo exccited to see how this turns out

Well done to Lance! @Velouria: this is for you "..............................." - now that he is asleep... Here's to hoping he is successful! These are the claims that Lance filed - interpreted via CyclingNews: That USADA does not have the right to charge and sanction Armstrong and strip him of his titles; USADA does not have the right to force Armstrong to arbitrate those charges without a valid, enforceable legal agreement to do so; and Armstrong contends USADA's activity also violates his constitutional rights and tortiously interferes with his contract with Union Cycliste Internationale, the governing body with which he has an agreement. Boo-ya! to those of you who were "rules are rules"... read the Amended lawsuit...

Personally I just want the facts to come out... I am tired of opinions and slander or bias from either side... I know that this is war... everything Lance has achieved will be extinguished to millions of people who did not follow the sport and by extension may never spend their money on this sport if he is found to be guilty of doping... as well is to many who already love the sport. You guys think he is wasting time and faltering at being honorable in his decisions... its his life!! Imagine if you could no longer work at what you knew... whilst not being able to earn a living you are having to pay millions of dollars to lawyers to defend you... and if he is innocent those expensive lawyers will want to claim costs! @grunpyoldman your points are interesting but lack a view from the other side! You can not be tried for the same thing twice... this bloke is being tried - pun intended - by 3 different organisations in succession for a derivative of guilty... each one amending their attack based on the last outcomes... eeeeish!! How would Zuma handle this? Just the facts... thats all I ask.

Is this WADA who is judging this case?? or is at some other Committee of wannabes???

How blind are you in the face of understanding the word subjective in the "comfortable satisfaction " quote... when the people who will be deciding have it in for him

Actually... you have taken your stance too!... if you say it is the guys who are doping who are destroying the sport... then why in the face of your allegations has the sport grown whilst all the hero's of the past have all, according to everyone in the "know", doped!! I do not mind people who disagree... i just mind when people follow the loudest side of the story... like listening to some juvenile radio presenter and then thinking they know what they are talking about.

Yea but that is subjective... so in fact it is irrelevant

c'mon... you are guilty because you have to be! because everyone else around you was guilty!??... They say they have proof: it is a "suspicious" result!! - not fact!! It does not prove anything... so every kid who grew up in a crappy neighborhood has become a criminal... just because everyone else did... its really sounds like one of those "ist" kinda judgments! [sic]

NO... dude... Media is killing the sport!... How can you guys not see it!?

From what i understand Lance cannot take part in triathlons now... until this case is resolved... The mans life is messed up with all the interference from all of these guys... I guess he just wants to stop other people dictating what he can do! And to all of you "Lance is a doper"... so what if he is... being right about it makes you no less or more of anything... How on earth can you prove your innocence in a case like this... it is the same for Contador... its impossible! so you are guilty by the letter of the "law" even if you did not actually do it... and all of you sheep will say "yea I was right" and all you will be right about is the result of the case! And even if he did dope... there are loads of other people who have doped... and lets just put this out there: it has nothing to do with cycling... but at least he has done good with his money... what other cyclist has achieved so much off the bike... Lance is an Icon and will continue to do great things whilst we all comment on it! When ever I am with non-cyclists... this is all I hear... Lance is a doper... cycling is full of dopers... That is what the media has done... and because there are more non-cyclists than cyclists... they are killing the sport! The problem with twitter and social media is that it is to people involved with the sport... The real damage with the Media is that it is the only one talking to the people who buy the cheap bikes so that our machines are more affordable - selfish I know... ..and I have already forgotten my point of this... OH yes... your opinion... if it is not same as mine... is irrelevant!

Humble-schmumble...let him be as "cocky" as Ronaldo... and why not!? In fact i would enjoy more sportsmen to wear their hearts on their sleeve... it would make for more entertainment... and if you dislike confidence -you can gloat when they fall from grace... or you could take the high-road Personally, I was gutted as to how he left my hero to bleed to death on the 2km final sprint - I expected honour amongst these guys and was secretly hoping that no-one helps him in the future... but... eish! the bloke can pedal!! buuut... I guess it is a race...

What the hell are tyre liners??? I do use rim strips and Stans... Had to put stans in... then when they deflated... I put Stans in again... and after they deflated again I put stans in again!! After "sealing" them ... I would put them in the bath... and you can see the bubbles coming through the sidewall!!!! Until they were sealed proper!

hahaha... you guys have had it bad... I use Racing Ralphs on front and back... i do not use Tubless... nor Tubless ready... nor Snakeskin... I use the kakest "performance" range... they are so *** that it took 2 days to seal the side-walls because they are sooo thin and porous... the bead is not even made for sealing! I have done Outsurance KZN Expedition, Desert Dash, Sani2C, Boxlee Golovane, groenkloof on numerous occasion, suikerbosrand, even back roads in benoni to groenkloof, van gaalens, that other game farm in harties... I do have to concede that I do not like the "pap" feel of soft tyres and run mine at 2.0 bar i weigh 70kg... I beg you guys... dont buy these tyres... then the stores will sell them to me for a steal

last weekend we did a group ride north of benoni... rode past a off road rally... did not realise we were riding on the actual track!! We found a GoPro that was attached to one of the cars and handed it in to the officials... I hope they found the owner!

I do not think so... It would have been a logistical nightmare to do it from there... I am sure it was not accurate at all! This sounds like the one of stats that 95% of all people believe everything they are told!
