TNT1 Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 "I want to make it clear that at the time, I never had the feeling that I was doing anything wrong. I knew a lot of Fuentes clients, including some good riders who rode the Tour in 2006. Everyone knew. It was a normal thing to do." http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pevenage-confesses-to-operacion-puerto-involvement-1
scotty Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Something else we can blame Armstrong for Pévenage claims Ullrich decided to work with Fuentes because he was under huge pressure to try and beat Armstrong. "The rivalry pushed us to give it everything to try and beat him," Pévenage told L'Equipe. "With all the money he earned, Jan could not afford to be beaten. He was stressed out by the pressure and even put on weight because of that. Stress poisoned his career."
covie Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 So one rider was considered it too stresfull to try and beat another rider. Great excuse, so every sports person that competes can now dope becuase they are worried about having to beat their rivals? What a load of hogwash.
TNT1 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 im mortified But not shocked, so it's all good...
splat Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Does this put the spotlight back on Jan?Or has he said his bit and out of trouble (but still in disgrace)? His book of confessions will be an interesting read...
Gasping Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 But not shocked, so it's all good... Do I detect a smidgeon of sarcastic venom? Or would that be venomous sarcasm? Help?
TNT1 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 Do I detect a smidgeon of sarcastic venom? Or would that be venomous sarcasm? Help? Nah, I'll save the venom for the when the ostriches come to this thread.
fandacious Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Nah, I'll save the venom for the when the ostriches come to this thread. HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE THAT LANCE WAS DOPING! I KNOW SOME VETS WHO WORK FULL TIME AND RIDE THE CAPE EPIC, SO THEREFORE THE PROS RIDE THE TDF CLEAN!
Mackie Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I actually don't give a ****, they all dope/doped, legalise it and move on.
TNT1 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 they all dope/doped, Oooohhhh!!! The ostriches will tear you a new one for saying that...
Mackie Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I follow a simple rule of thumb when it comes to pro riders and doping: Guilty until proven innocent.
TNT1 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 I follow a simple rule of thumb when it comes to pro riders and doping: Guilty until proven innocent. Yeah, nevermind Jan's tell all book, I want to read Fuentes' memoirs.
gummibear Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Who cares Jan Ullrich was damn good on the bike and a great guy off the bike,even in his fat overweight off season i couldn't keep up with him.Anyone know if his bike is still hanging up at that hotel in Gordens Bay?
Gasping Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Yeah, nevermind Jan's tell all book, I want to read Fuentes' memoirs. Do you think it might have recipes in it? You know, "eye-of-newt & toe-of-dog" stuff? Might even outsell Ina Paarman & Angela Day!
Bat-ass Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 i'm not interested in Jan or Fuentes's book... hell.. i'm waiting for Fandacious's book to hit the shelves!!!!
