win a ride withTyler Hamilton through Discovery, just found this interesting?!

[flymango]

I would certainly attend if I lived in Joburg. Might even try arrange a business meeting or two. A ride with Tyler Hamilton would be most interesting if you ask me.

But would you pay R15 000 to ride with him?

[Tumbleweed]

Will Discovery pay for your PEDs?

[raptor]

Another doper turned hero, after year of lies

[JGR]

Another doper turned hero, after year of lies

He was never a hero

[HairyLegs]

So, Discovery supports dopers and doping.

[ibruegge]

Funny how some ex-dopers are made heroes and others end up running a bike shop in Woodstock.

[flymango]

But would you pay R15 000 to ride with him?

 

Probably not. That amount of money could be better spent on new components or Fire's cause. But I might just enter for the lucky draw though.

[SeaBee]

Even if I was in Johies I would not support this. Purely based on a comment made by (can't remember exactly who) one of the top female cyclists when this book came out. She stated, and I think it's very true, that he'll most likely now go on and make more money by selling a book about drugs than she will earn in her entire career, racing clean.

 

But that's just my feelings.

[sluiper]

But does this include EPO and blood transfusions along the way? Or do you have to supply your own?

[American Flyers]

I hate when someone who support dopers... Rather support the riders that are clean... I hate Discovery anyway!

[flymango]

But does this include EPO and blood transfusions along the way? Or do you have to supply your own?

 

Depends on your Vitality status!

[sluiper]

Depends on your Vitality status!

 

Discovery will say they cover it, but the cost would probably come out of your medical savings account in any case

[Jaco-fiets]

Bought his book, liked it but won't spend any more money on him. What will his talk be about? How Lance bullied him into doping? What is the best way to dope? How sorry he is and that it is totally wrong and nobody should do it?

 

For *** like that I will borrow my mother's Sarie, Rooi Rose or Huisgenoot
