Tumbleweed Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Maybe more like a mate helping a mate say he didn't know without actually making a statement which his sponsors asked him not to do... McCallums are dodgy like that. apparently.
rouxtjie Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 SAIDS has already said they will be prepared to discuss leniency if DG helps with other investigations -- a la Hamilton, Landis and co. I do not have too much of a problem with that (obviously depending on how lenient they are). I would prefer they catch as many cheats and their suppliers as they can and clean up the sport -- small price for DG to get a few months off his sentence. I also believe in SA he will struggle to find a sponsor now so tend to think his cycling career as a pro is over.Agree, give him six months if he names and shames EVERYONE or lifetime ban...his pro career is over.
jcza Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 After watching the normal hand-wringing and listening to how cycling is different now, I expect a slap on the wrist and 6 month ban retrospectively which should see DG ready for the Epic. I'll say it again - Pro Cycling is rotten
GLuvsMtb Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Agree, give him six months if he names and shames EVERYONE or lifetime ban...his pro career is over.Nolan's back in the peloton, I'm guessing that we'll see DG back in 6 to 12 months
Shebeen Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Never heard of the McCallum dude before… great opening to an articleKevin Evans got drunk on Tuesday night
tombeej Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Nolan's back in the peloton, I'm guessing that we'll see DG back in 6 to 12 months Maybe, maybe not. The problem with Georgie is timing. The heat wasn't on full blast when Nolan was pinned, so it didn't really get much mainstream media attention and subsided quickly. Didn't take long for people to continue with their lives and forget. Now, after LA and the whole world talking about cheating in cycling, I doubt DG will be able to get away with the same... ... Unless he can give up some big names - suppliers/doctors/coaches, etc. Personally I'd be happy to see him getting a deal if he decided not to go down on his own and put up a few names. Ramrod 1
Wyatt Earp Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Pretoria news a bunch of complete and utter ball-less a-holes.Senationalism might sell, but do we need tho try and wreck people in the process.Read today that Evans turned to the bottle, one night of top and suddenly a headline like that
Jaco-fiets Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Wow! They must have nothing to write about. Always knew there is nothing going on in blou bal world
mikeMT Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 well either way, they (PTA Crowd) can suck on this.............. PROOOOOOVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEE
tombeej Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 The old saying "the only way to kill a snake is to cut off its head". For me, the 'head' in dirty cycling is not the riders. It's the suppliers. Get to them and cut off the supply. The nameless faces behind the riders need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the light.

mikeMT Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Legalise it all i say, marijuana, steroids, drugs, the whole damm lot, let people do as they please, great source of tax's, and imagine the progress of the human species if laboratory scientists were given free run, imagine the possibilities.

mikeMT Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Clean riders compete in the EPIC, pretested dopers get an additional 40km added to final stage.
G-Unit Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Wow! They must have nothing to write about. Always knew there is nothing going on in blou bal world Ja, once the Bulls were out of the Currie cup, most of us fans came online to stir k@k on the hub. F@k@l else going on.
rouxtjie Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Nolan's back in the peloton, I'm guessing that we'll see DG back in 6 to 12 monthsWho will give DG a ride...me thinks he has burnt too many bridges along the way. I think the time given is irrelevant, he is done!
mikeMT Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Who will give DG a ride...me thinks he has burnt too many bridges along the way. I think the time given is irrelevant, he is done! you would be surprised what the right marketing department can cook up, really turn this episode around and usually in the brands (new sponsor if it was) favour.
