Here it is

 

 

So here is exactly what i think.. . This whole situation sucks.. ..

some people have obviously not learned that possible jail time is a

good enough reason not to dope.. how stupid are these people.. ..

 

 

 

my own team mate got caught with stuff in his bag besides going positive.. even more dumb.

 

Once again it puts so many families at risk if the whole team closes.. ..

 

My team mate was the quiet one and never really spoke to anybody so nobody can say to much about him.

 

 

 

Then you get this idiot Ricco who shoots off his mouth about how good

he is and he is the best and has demonstrated it many times then after

years of actually being spoken about how he risks and should not be

touched with a smelly stick he goes positive.(About time)

 

 

 

He needs to be punched in the nose for his arrogance. Just remember how

he made so many accusations to Contador in the Giro mean while he is

the dirty little snake.. . Idiot I doubt he will ever show his face

again n the pro peleton cause nobody likes hi, and fr sure nobody will

miss him.. . i certainly wont.. .

 

The worste part is the italian tv were almost sympathizing with this

idiot saying shame he is only 25 and its possible to make mistakes..

But when anybody else goes pos they massacare him.. .. Wake up you

fools he is a cheat and should be treated like one.. .

 

 

 

And on top of that i wont miss any other idiots who get caught for substances.. .. its gotta end.. .

 

I cant say i agree with other people who have also gone positive and

now act like the mother mary herself preaching to everybody.. .. i say

shut up and be thankful you got another chance now twist thats skinny

neck back in and shut up..

 

 

 

Ok well to finish off on all of that i gotta say thanks to The ASO for

seeing that it was a single event in Team Barloworld and the rest f the

team are there breaking our backs every day to do our best and CLEAN..

.. . Also thanks to Barloworld for seeing it for what it was a single

event of a stuid fool risking his and others lives but continueing with

this fantastic team.

copied and pasted this from my brother's column in the star today.

 

At a lunch with Barloworld?s marketing head Chris Fisher last year I suggested he get each cyclist, mechanic and manager on the team to bring along pictures of their families to the team training camp. These would be stuck on a wall and the riders told that should they be caught doping, then they will be affecting not only their own lives, but those of the children and wives of all of Team Barloworld. Due?as, it seems, cares little for the lives of others.
Lord help Due?as if Rob Hunter gets hold of him. Neil MacDonald, a cyclist on the MTN Energade team, spoke to Hunter, a close friend, on Wednesday night and said Hunter was spitting mad. I would imagine the other Africans on the Barloworld team would join in. The mild John-Lee Augustyn and Chris Froome would give Due?as a good kicking, while Daryl Impey would show the Spaniard what happens when you cross someone from Joburg?s deep South. It?s time for rough justice for those about whom rumours are spread.

Well, it is good to see Hunter showing this type of attitude.  His attitude towards Landis was far too forgiving and permissive.

maybe compounding anger is the frustration of shaping so badly in the sprints so far?

 

More likely at the prospect of being unemployed shortly...Through no fault of his own.

Would be my main concern if I was in his shoes.

My Moermeter would be red lining as well....

I like his swipe at Millar LOL' date='

 

Pity about the spelling Confused

from the daily mail:

British cyclist David Millar summed up competitors' feelings, saying: 'It's irresponsible. This guy does not have any love or care for the sport.
'We are learning things that look too good to be true are too good to be true.'

Not sure if you guys saw the clip in SA, but a journalist (who clearly knew what was coming) asked Robbie what he thought about the drug affair and he immediately said they should get rid of the guys and he looked very annoyed by the whole story.

 

As luck would have it he was chatting to the Saunier Duval team (sans Ricco) who where also sayd 'good riddance'and laughed.  A couple of minutes later they were called back from the start line to the bus.  That must have sucked...

something's been bugging me, the story was posted on l'equippe's website before any official announcement was made. i know of the links between the paper and the aso, but surely that's taking things a bit too far, and will have the apologists howling about an anti-spanish conspiracy.
