SURFER Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I believe you took something to ease the pain though?And WADA is so strict it's like you basically have to do it on Panado. I'll be totally honest with you, from history I am in doubts that anyone in the tour is riding clean according to the WADA list. I'd love to believe otherwise but I truly am battling. I believe Chris has absolute pure awesome talent and deserved the win, he rode and acted like a true champion. I believe Quintana is a man to watch next year now that he has learnt from his mistakes. I don't think I can support anyone until I see and know there has been a change. Okay, aim, shoot, fire!! What do you want to see and know ?
Wyatt Earp Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I believe you took something to ease the pain though? Actually I didn't, I have an adverse allergic reaction to pain medication.
SwissVan Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I think you're right. Ja anyone who says "aim, shoot, fire" is either confused... or just a woman
Wonder Woman Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I think I've just been hurt one too many times. I know we are supposed to always forgive but it's human nature that once burnt twice shy. I used to get excited when a rider performed well and have support for certain guys whom I loved and would shout for and get excited over. But time and time again each one has now been stripped and shamed. I just don't have the same excitement for the sport anymore purely because of it's long tainted history. The doping has stripped the joy of the sport for me. Which is actually very very sad and I'm sure many feel the same way.

The you should not be watching any sport that requires excessive exertion , it's not just cycling.It's also no like doping only started with the Armstrong era, it's been around since the turn of the century, not just to win, but simply to be able to finish what appeared impossible to do , especially considering the bikes that were used in the day. Froome is the new era, the new talent of the clean riders. Ridden in the 1920 tour of Germany. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8421/7630899486_0645420209_b.jpgIMG_0998-2 by OddPix1, on Flickr
SwissVan Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Swiss - let me get you in my sights... aim, shoot, fire Missed both times
Wonder Woman Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I really hope so. That's why I said years, it's been there like forever. I've always raced on nothing, I even hate most of the USN products etc and yet I'm sure I'm not alone in how I feel. It was an exciting awesome tour to watch but for me these days it is tainted. I hope above all hopes it is on the road to recovery and I hope that Chris is the start of the new clean generation, will be a good change.

SwissVan Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 ABOUT FACTS THEN With or without dope its a damn hard event, people seem to think doping means you guaranteed to win or do well, BUT fact is you still need blood sweat and tears to win a grand tour. Enjoy the show Not condoning doping at all, just don't take it personal if some twot dopes in an event I cannot ever hope to take part in. DIPSLICK 1
