BDF Posted January 26, 2016 Share Now that confusing everything. Wasn't Rourke also unbusted for something? Not sure if the effect was positive for the sport though. Then charged for another? Charging athletes is such an ambiguous term...RC "bust" #1: having needles, got let off because he was using them to lance his saddle sores and fill his wheels or something like that."Bust" #2: doping... hearing still to come though from what I understand.

NotSoBigBen Posted January 26, 2016 Share I also heard the rumours about the stuff in the fridge...very much as the many stories about the Jozi ICG group....but without actually seeing anything which would make it conclusive...it makes it nothing more than speculation which could lead to defamation....

intern Posted January 26, 2016 Share Watch Juju take credit for Twitter failing... Did you see that story about them thinking about introducing a "long-form" Twitter? I did. That would make it Posterous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted January 26, 2016 Share By the way, you will all be pleased to hear that Twitter the company is in serious Shiite. Not hard to see why; ask any Twat what the value of tweeter is and they will likely reel off a list of things, like being informed, being able to hear what celebs think about global warning, and all sorts of other esoteric boloux. Yeah, OK fine (personally I think it is all about ego and who can say the smartest thing in 140 characters [nobody likes a smartarrse, remember!]).Then ask that Twat how much they will pay for the service. That there is the value of Tweeter. not really, they've got their issues monetizing the platform but themany investors still believe in the future potential for revenue. We don't pay anything to use google or facebook, they're doing ok. Even this here bikehub is a free platform, i wouldn't pay a subscription for it. nah its not just jealous speculation. These guys are so blatant about it (like keeping it in the fridge next to their beer).for those who do know, you don't even have to name the dudes. Surely SAIDS must have been tipped off by now if it's so blatant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern Posted January 26, 2016 Share Twitter is in shite cause of seriously bad management and egos. Business model is pretty sound but the US stock markets are ruthless mate.Twitter business model is like KE doping, dude. It's pretty far from sound or OK!

Surely SAIDS must have been tipped off by now if it's so blatant. saids are also a little slow on the uptake consider this scenario. KE applies for a TUE. SAIDS says no. KE races anyways. SAIDS know he wanted TUE so obviously he's on something. SAIDS only busts him 2 years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern Posted January 26, 2016 Share Although, and it has been pointed out here multiple times, the court of public opinion has a lot lower level of burden of proof and is much quicker to judge as well as forget actually. Lets use the case of Cycle Science who have closed their doors after the Pinarello case, and I dont see their signage up the road any more where they tried to move to. People seem to quickly distrust other people who may have demonstrated character flaws in other areas.Fully -- it's called reputation and it should stand up for you when you aren't there to speak for yourself.

intern Posted January 26, 2016 Share It's just a dangerous precedent if we can go around saying so and so quacks like a ..... You too would want the law and the burden of proof to protect you if someone calls you a (enter disgusting criminal activity here) on social media and that is what happened at the time. But I don't want to detract any more from the true topic which is doping.Once again, if your reputation is good and your conscience is clear, the accuser would look like a tool. If, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
