Dopers suck

[Patchelicious]

I compare it to cheating spouses. Not everyone agrees with the cheater. Does all his friends suddenly leave him alone? Some do so don't. Does his spouse forgive him? Some do some don't.

 

Personally I think cheating on your spouse is much worse. You should not be allowed to have any relationship again. I think you should wear a 'I am a cheating knob' sign around your neck.

 

But it is not for me to decide.

 

At least cycling have got rules.

At least cheating spouses usually apologize for their naughtiness. Edited December 26, 2016 by Patchelicious

Not that I know of. This is a big surprise to me. He didn't hold much back in that interview about what he thinks. I got the impression he is just gatvol. I think unless you either have BIG sponsors or come from serious money you just can't make it abroad and unfortunately a local pro will never really get far in life. Such a pity, we have some very good riders in this country but unless they basically leave the country for 90% of the year to race overseas full time they will get no where. If only they had the backing from the powers that be.

So we should invite guys like Lance back with open arms?

How many kids/people started cycling because of him and how many cyclists took to doping because of him ? Probably 10 000 to 1. I'm not ok with doping but look at the bigger picture.

What did he get caught with?

[Popit]

Drugs .....

[Jewbacca]

Also, who is supplying these guys?

 

I know there is a certain Mr Tom Hank's best friend in Castaway that openly claims to supply half of the Epic field with PED but nothing ever seems to happen to him.

 

I seem to recall the same guy allegedly beat up his wife.

 

If he so openly admits to supplying, why is he not being held legally accountable? Or is it not illegal to supply PEDs?

I often wondered about him - he used to date a friend of ours when he was still a soccer player and when he retired he suddenly appeared on the Cycling scene with some pretty good results.  I figured he was just one of those naturally gifted athletes.

Biogen is "supplying" them - be careful what you supplement with!!

Why on earth would SAIDS only give him 6 month ban for testosterone.... glad WADA appealed that one and CAS gave him the full 4 years.

If the athletes are to be believed the product they took was tainted. Tests on Biogen's Testoforce found the same T as WADA found in their system.
