  1. Aren't we all ...... But what would most people have done....it's easy for us to sit on a forum and give opinions but we are not emotionally involved...emotions can change the entire perspective.....
  2. My guess is that it was not to fulfil sponsor obligations...if one has a conscience and scruples you would tell the sponsor straight out "sorry I can't do this" I think he did it to try and build on what he saw as a successful brand...the Evan's brand....
  3. Was that really his reason ?
  4. Someone putting themselves out there doesn't require stalking...it's all in the open for everyone to see...let's not start something that could go pear shaped as it normally does....as I pointed out I have no issue with him....I do however find the entire drama very intriguing.....
  5. So glad I am not a celebrity stalker.....
  6. Are we are comparing Kevin from South Africa to the likes of Contador (both dopers) ? Personally I don't think Kevin would have sold a metric crapload of bikes by being on one....but that's me....
  7. Not to stir and get a fight going....but I certainly don't buy a bike because some top rider happens to be on it...and I am sure there is many more like myself.....
  8. I see your logic...but let's look at this again.... What Fandacious said at the time, you say was truth....it is truth now...but at the time Kevin was presumed as a doper purely by association.....the old "I told you so" adage applies to these type of actions....there was no proof at the time that Kevin was in actual fact doping...all we had was that his teammate George was now a confirmed doper.....so it's easy to make statements and comments at the time and later on say "I told you so, I just knew it" Very much like attending a wedding and saying I don't give it a year and trues nuts they divorce within a year and you sit back and say "see I was right" Now understand that I have no horse in this race.....not Kevin, Fandacious or Oldcootbiker (I am more of a fan in regards to a golfing lady) Now you say "knowing full well he was doping"......Kevin would have known that he was....but did Fandacious know for fact that he was doping and did he have the evidence to prove it...or was it all just a case of venting and making a noise at the time as well as speculating ? Now let's touch on the bit where Kevin abuses his own lawyer and the law....doing some digging as I was not here when all that broke out...I have looked at everything with a totally unbiased approach....and from what I can see it was the Oldcootbiker on twitter who got Emma involved and not actually Kevin....yes I understand that Kevin knowing that he was doping should have then informed the Oldcoot and Emma that he was either actually guilty of the accusations lobbied at him....or he should have just informed them to let it be...this he did not do so quite a shallow move from his side..... What I am saying and it's pretty simple and let's leave Kevin and his deceitful behaviour out of it for a second (and I know some will say but you can't) the Oldcoot and Emma acted on what was then at that time within that particular time frame and by their own logic in a way that was justifiable...if it was to go to court (then)...let's be honest as to what the outcome would have been...without knowing what we know now.... Touching on a few more things you pointed out...yes Emma should be rather pissed....Fandacious has all the right to be angry especially if we look at "because in hindsight" or "I told you so" and I certainly don't begrudge his anger and I certainly don't suggest he build a bridge.... I do still have the one question...the one thing that has me totally perplexed....what was the motive at the time...why did Fandacious go full tilt in the manner that he did....and as we are looking at the Kari tweets thinking the language is shocking....do yourselves a favour and do what I did on a Saturday arvie when I had nothing better to do and I went in on those Twitter archives.....things got pretty nasty back then...what we are seeing now is mild in comparison.... It's easy for us to sit and say what happened THEN is warranted because of the NOW....no siree we can't just call someone a pedophile because their surname is Van Rooyen... Just as a final note...I have nothing against Fandacious and in actual fact if I was him I would certainly sit and gloat and have my day.....
  9. By association only....
  10. I am now officially lost....you will have to elaborate or explain to me what you are actually getting at ?
  11. My comment had nothing to do with Kari...but I agree she is not doing anyone any favours.....But let's look at the Emma letter....I had to do a bit of Twitter archiving as I was inquisitive to see why #zayn got given such a letter....he was being very verbal at the time about Kevin also being a doper...his comments in conjunction with a jules52 (I think following the string of tweets) was nothing but slander at the time as well as defamation.....you see Kevin was not guilty then..and the receivers of the letter were not just speculating...they were actually pretty vehement about their stance and it almost bordered on them trying to force a confession out of their accused...now slap me with a wet fish if I am wrong....but at the time Kevin was not guilty of anything...this made the comments come across as slanderous and at the time this was happening they were fully responsible for their actions and words....in the light of that and looking at defamation ,the letters were fully warranted....now on the other hand they can have their heyday and all the fun they want...we know for a fact now that the accused is guilty of doping...my guess if it was to land up in a court of law and they wanted to sue for receiving a letter for their actions in that time frame....a judge might just sit back and say "sorry but at the time you were wrong....and....and" I still however....can't get my head around why #zayn wants to be as verbal as Pontius Pilate about it all and my two trains of logic was laid out in my previous post.....
  12. You do touch on something I have found to be perculiar...odd...weird...and just downright confusing....why does #zayn come across or tries to be the arbitrater and the Pontius Pilate of anti-doping in South Africa...it's a lot of noise being made by an individual that gives me the impression he is either trying to settle a personal vendetta...which I think is not the case...or sommer maar net so bietjie aandag soek...the name in lights and hoping to increase a Twitter following and all that arbitrary stuff you naamean....
  13. She's already doing the "personal attack" thing, just need CAPITAL LETTERS and there goes the family name...... ......ooooops, my bad........it already has wings!
  14. Leaving S.A. just so you can look like a Bulls supporter in another country....quite a radical move....
  15. Sure it is Swiss Old Boy....a movie that pulled the wool over the public and sponsors eyes....a fan base deceived and misled.....
  16. Ja nee boet....I was not convinced then already...
  17. Should these also be revoked ? http://www.sinamatella.com/wp-content/themes/Sinamatella/inc/images/palmares_pyramid.jpg
  18. People going...."what a sight, what a team...we love you guys" http://www.sinamatella.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/io4.jpg
  19. Come now folks....man up....who got all excited and went bossies when hey saw the video...sudden 360 Life fans...I even recall here on The Hub how excited people became.... http://www.sinamatella.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/io2.jpg
  20. Either way....anyone who watched an Epic Tale and got a horing must feel like they molested themselves....stage race showers seems to be full of dope on a rope
  21. Better fix the spelling in that hashtag or you might get accused of watering it down......
  22. Indeed my friend....that goold old salt of the earth things is gone.....
