Dont want to speculate on anything, but that old adage springs to mind ..

 

Where there is smoke there is fire ...

 

This always comes up and it makes me batty. I don't mean to pick on you Scott5 but think about this a little and you will have to admit it's about the most useless statement you can make.

 

I will give you an example. I can say that Scott5 is a plonker of note (keep calm now, I'm just using this as an example). Someone then comes along and says yes they agree. You then say you are not a plonker at all. But hey, where there is smoke there is fire and you are now officially screwed.

 

It is intellectually lazy and if taken to its logical extreme all it will take is to lay a charge against someone and he must go to jail. Where there is smoke as an argument makes anyone accused of anything by anyone at any time automatically guilty.

 

It's what leads to mindless persecution, lynchings, which burnings and all sorts of other mindless behavior

 

I guess that was a rant

I saw Dr. Jeroen Swart tweet about Vit B injections being illegal last night.  And the fact that he mentioned it 9 times or something on his time line before.

 

Might not be connected though but it seems it is.

Hence my previous question. You going to struggle to inject anything inside yourself that's going to make you go faster ( unless it's your meusli) with that thing. So if the UCI finds that in your kitbag, are you on your bike ( or not in this case?)

 

Who knows the rules?

Your example does not make sense to me. Scott said where there is smoke there is usually a fire, in this case there is "smoke"

So we have the press statement and it is thinner than the hairs on pro's ball bag. 

 

So the speculation and damning continue, it is as bad as News24. 

 

Ultimately not good for anybody involved.

No wait, lets apply the logic we did to Farmer Glen.

 

Croesers silence on this matter is damning! He has said nothing so clearly he is guilty!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just for those who need it!

He wasn't DQ'd he voluntarily withdrew himself.

 

Why did it take so long to release the statement, and surely his/team mech would have that equipment or does CSA expect our athletes to service their own equipment?

 

I'm sure it is a big misunderstanding and will be cleared up in no time.

Ek het die antwoord vir jou daar.

 

Jip!! baie van ons ryers moet hulle eie goed diens omdat CSA nie vir als betaal nie, en baie van die ryers gaan oor op geld wat hulle moes self weg sit en die vol onder onderstening onder seker brands val daai kant nie.

 

Daar gaan baie meer agter die prentjie aan as n mens daai kant van die wereld resies ry. Parte daai kant is nie goedkoop volgend wat ons geld trade op die oomlik, maak dit nie als maklik ook nie. Ek het n paar vriende wat oorsee race en worlds race, en die goed wat hulle vertel als, sal jou stom los. 

 

Laat ons maar kyk wat die storie is aan die einde van die dag. So iets kan gebruik word om sealant in te spyt of vir brieke te herstel.

I read the statement as simply saying that there is smoke (which there is - the syringe) and therefore there is fire (which there will be - the story behind the syringe).

 

Whether the syringe was used to pump Stans into his tyres or Lesotho born blood cells into his arm - there is still a story...

If it was just "somebody" accusing somebody else of using a syringe, your statement would make lots of sense.

 

But is wasn't just somebody, it was the UCI that caught him with a syringe, not just a dude off the hub saying he had one.

 

IF he broke the rules, he needs to face the music.

No rumour mongering here, a syringe was found. 

It's ominous.

We all hope it's a mistake ... say it ain't so ..

Ironically that's what they said to Babe Ruth ... then think Hansie, Lance Armstrong etc etc ..
