    +1 on not knowing you, but amazed at someone making such a massive change to their lives. All the best, may it be a huge success. Some of us can only appreciate Europe from pictures. Enjoy the adventure

    Thanks for the idea for the Fox40. I still have mine from my umpiring days. (I used to umpire hockey at provincial level...) The commuters just don't react to a bell. The fox40 will wake them up properly

    No man. The meme/vid is misleading. The triple d chick in the floral bikini is Ice T's wife. He is in the one photo. But the president is soooo much better than zipper zoompie

    There is no way my laaitie is seeing this. Medical expense upon medical expense. Some sweet skills these have

    What a trivial pursuit. Just like hunting goodwill....

    Wow, what a beautiful shot. And the bike is even better.

    That purple/pink blommetjies are not blommetjies. It is a very volatile weed that has to be eradicated. That stuff multiplies exponentially. http://www.sanbi.org/information/infobases/invasive-alien-plant-alert/campuloclinium-macrocephalum-pom-pom-weed Terrible stuff

    South African Communism You have two cows Both are lactating but you are too lazy to milk them to produce an income for yourself You decide to burn them and blame the previous owners for even considering to give you two cows Now you are starving. You decide to kill your neighbour's cows because he is "privileged".

    Sincere apologies. I didn't read the article. So it's pretty much like USN's oxygenated water...... I have no idea what slime/sealant my lbs used for the last replacement. But it sure does work! The wheels were properly covered in thorns. Pressure still fine three days later.

    [emoji23][emoji37] yeah i am sure. Not enough hills here in the platteland. Hakahana is the only "mols hopie".

    Tubeless is the single best innovation to cycling ever. Just realized this again on the weekend - went through a serious bundle of "skaap dorings". Both wheels were covered. Slight pft then sealed nicely. So what is different with this race version?

    As far as I am aware it is for the period in question. Stand to be corrected... What I do understand is that there is a strong possibility that some (some, not all) cyclists have not been made aware of UCI and SAIDS regulations RE testing, TUE's and the resulting procedures. As she said in her statement, she declared on the spot (at the very moment of testing) that she was using med A and med B. There is enough evidence of previous cases where CSA and ASA (Athletics South Africa) have let athletes down.
  16. CogitoErgoSum
    Huh, actually yes. She received a lifetime ban from the Epic. And she has to pay back prize money. I believe that she made a mistake. Not all Drs are knowledgeable on elite athletes and meds and SAIDS and UCI and and and and....

    Top sports people rarely has high blood pressure. A lowered resting HR normally means low blood pressure. But I am no dr. I don't understand either the reasoning behind taking a diuretic for water retention when you cycle. I sweat like a pig when I ride. A diuretic will place increased demands on the liver and kidneys.
  18. CogitoErgoSum
    Intention..... Again, I am not justifying anyone's behaviour. She was aware of possible interference of the meds if samples were to be taken. The process/system behind obtaining TUE seems to be badly managed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, by dr's, by CSA, by SAIDS. What the real intentions were for her, for Croesser, for Evans - no one will know. If the UCI really wants to clean up cycling, all parties involved should improve their act
  19. CogitoErgoSum
    Thanks for clarifying. Just another example of the shlep and red-tape in a flawed process. I just get the feeling that she was 'setup' for failure (no conspiracy theory) by the system. This is hectic - to have your career/life pulled out from under you. For me there is a distinction between someone taking EPO/other PEDS, someone refusing to be tested, and someone being prescribed a med that could be harmful.
  20. CogitoErgoSum
    I don't know, merely speculating. If Drug Free (or who ever else other than CSA) issues it, CSA had to apply for it to be issued. So it is CSA duty to protect its members...... But CSA fails its members time and again
  21. CogitoErgoSum
    Please don't get me wrong - I absolutely despise people cheating (being corrupt) in life. But if CSA didn't follow procedure RE a TUE and that their actions resulted in the UCI banning her, she would have some grounds for legal recourse against CSA? I believe that she has to pay back prize money.
  22. CogitoErgoSum
    It is my understanding that CSA knew that she was using the meds as it was prescribed. CSA failed to issue a TUE according to international regulations. The directive came from the UCI to suspend her. CSA did not follow procedures insuring the TUE conditions are met
  23. CogitoErgoSum
    The horse must've felt violated. Terrible. Can't imagine the process involved to get her on there
  24. CogitoErgoSum
    Very interesting concept in this video RE the way we learn, perceive, and interact. http://www.dailyliked.net/backwards-brain-bicycle/ Apologies if it is a repost
  25. CogitoErgoSum
    Sure is from the right angle. But unfortunately "bo blink, onder stink"
