No Name Funrider

He did not take dope he had a blood transfusion containing some one elses stored blood;how can he have a transfusion night before TT ?he must have had it before tour started so how come he never tested pos. in other stages? how come E,quipe(french newspaper) released info betore UCI? NNF

Do not make anymore unfounded accusations about doping against a rider i have the utmost respect for and i may allow you to live.NNF. PS I have deleted my coded Email to BORAT so you can at least get one good nights sleep.

The recovery is from the 60 stitches in his knees and elbow and if I Email him ur post, u will have 60+stitches when he gets hold of u!those Kazaks dont play.NNF

Irish is a realist;Boonen is a hard tough Belgian and is faster than Robbie;but that does not mean to say that Robbie cant get the green jersey,this is a cycle tour and anything is possible;all depends on which sprinters will get over the pyrenees mountains--anything can happen;Big Tom can crash again.Hats off to Robbie great stuff;but mannic(typical)S.A. patriotism wont help him;realism and maybe a prayer or two and everybody keep ur fingers crossed.NNF

He is on form;he has to get a stage win this time;he knows it too ;in the real world,if he does,nt all will be in vain--good luck bro. NNF

Very good comment;now petachi cant ride cos he used too much of his asthma medication;if landis rides again in the next 2 years it will be a traversty of justice;but what do americans know about fair play nowadays anyway.NNF

Yes they are good ;but it is a pity their bike computer head seals are not failsafe.NNF

With a name like like WADA --Dick Pound could have infiltrated the hub! watch out all you jun vets he will make sure testing is done after league rides.NNF

Lets not forget king George nearly won the giro del capo(what a stupid name for an SA race)on his own(he was in chris willemse,s team !!!!)--where was Lange?he wanted to win the fun riders world champs the argus tut tut tut .NNF

They MUST now take all the medals away from American 1984 olympic team who admitted to blood doping (it was not illegal then)also Francesco Moser admitted to blood doping before his hour record.All East German atheletes who (women mainly)who broke world records before steroids were banned.Big name cyclists Eddy M etc who lived on corticoids and amphetamines--the list goes on and on and on.Hats off to Rhys he has done alot for CSC and cycling in general; i dont think he will go easily as he owns a big share in the team ;may lose sponsor tho.They are prob using the American method now if u dont admit to doping we will make sure you go down in a big way--admit it and we will go easy on you.They cant prove anything so they act on admissions of guilt and finger pointing.NNF

Normal Hct for fit male is 40-42%,Hct also decreases with age.Female is lower due to blood loss in menstral cycle.NNF

Track racing is great ;but pros will not race for nothing,are their any S.A. track riders with enough points to even compete in the world cup(since JP V Zyl retired)name them . Our riders are lucky to ride against these guys --fixed or not.I remember watching a so called tri- nations where Russian juniors rode --they had mixed clincher road tyres on their steel frames and rode like demons.Our commonwealth games team pursuit squad were sponsored with Dutch bikes and top of the range SRM power training equipment + excellent coach and where did they come stone last ,wont mention any names ;but where were our track stars in points and scratch also? if trading places and making money is the forte of the six day who are we to argue? we must accept and learn if we are to be in any way competetive.NNF No Name Funrider2007-04-23 00:32:59
