Eldron Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 A racing vet? Positive? Well colour me shocked. Muppits like this need lifetime bans - it pi$$es me off no end finding out that fellow athletes are getting a little illegal boost. A bullet to the head was my first option but perhaps thats a little harsh. The kneecap is a good compromise.
Spinnekop Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I mean I know the VA's ride hard, but what the hell has gone wrong in someones life to make them resort to dope to win the VA argust? That is exactly what I am thinking........Firstly.........it's VA......hahahhahaha....no money or fame no nothing.....we do it for fun? Yes? No? Surely!!!! Secondly......VA racing is not that hard in SA. Not even Elites are THAT hard.Having a look at Trainingpeaks' "power profile" (and judging my own performances-training VERY HARD 15h a week) a person can "keep up" (Not race) with the elites in SA with a "power profile" equivalent to a a Cat 3 rider in Europe..... Not that hard I think.......so why in the world DOPE?!?!?!?Incomprehensible....But maybe that is just me.....
Eldron Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Not that hard I think.......so why in the world DOPE?!?!?!?Incomprehensible....But maybe that is just me..... It's easy. EGO. Big fish in little pond want um respect from fellow rider. I would speak my mind on the man but my choice of words would probably get me banned from thehub.
fandacious Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 It's easy. EGO. Big fish in little pond want um respect from fellow rider.

TNT1 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 what about the other VA's who also doped, but didnt win... how pathetic are they.... Hey, at least they didn't get caught. That makes em slighter more intelligent than the rocket scientist that did win (and get caught)
Red Zone Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 No wonder I got dropped. I hope the Cycletour will adjust my position and issue a new certificate to hang on my wall
fandacious Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Hey, at least they didn't get caught. That makes em slighter more intelligent than the rocket scientist that did win (and get caught) well only because they didnt win... so either they're not doing it right, or they're really useless
TNT1 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 well only because they didnt win... so either they're not doing it right, or they're really useless True. I'll stick to just being useless without dope.
Agteros Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 fame, money, recognition, the women who throw themselves at you, yachts, champagne.... oh wait... he probably drove home in his sedan just like the rest of us. No-one here even knew who he was... the sad thing is his non cycling mates will never know he doped, and he can still tell them he won subvetsRacetec should change his result to a DQ
Spinnekop Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 So here is a question. Who here race VA's and religiously check what they take in i.e. supplements, vitamins, medicine, food etc? Each time I get sick I have to tripple check every single thing the doc gives me. Check that a headace pill that I get from skoonma is OK. etc etc etcAll in the name of keeping a good name in case you get tested. Note I am not talking about deliberately taking PED......talking about being honost and just not care because you want to cure a sickness/headace whatever.

Lucky Luke. Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 No-one here even knew who he was... Ja, at the time I thought Boyd had won VA. Turns out now he has hahaha
Agteros Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 True. I'll stick to just being useless without dope. useless, dopeless! Rather that than being banned
Spinnekop Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Another stone in the bush....... Why test ANYTHING or ANYONE else than an Elite rider??This sort off correlates to the whole seeding/Cat/blah blah debacle..... But it truely is a South African phenom......racing as a funrider.....hehehehehhe Why not TEST more but use the budget on the guys that cycles for a living.Thus taking away podiums and cash and and and away from ALL other categories and clasifying it as Open seeded / Fun groups..... More focus on the racing side and less about what the funriders does.......for fun. Just a question though......
Spinnekop Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 When I was racing, I wouldn't go near a doctor without my MIMS. Highjack on. Where can I get a MIMS??!?!?!? Can't convince any living creature up here to give me one..... My dad had one when I was little.....
Lucky Luke. Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 When I was racing, I wouldn't go near a doctor without my MIMS. wtf is a mimms?
