Advert in the latest Bomb Surf mag, with a bunch of surfers wearing black t-shrits with logos on and the one is " Livewrong".

 

In a similar vein, "The Onion" website at one stage were selling yellow rubber bracelets with the motto "Cheat to Win".

Someone who goes hunting with his brother in law and then turns his back on him (the brother in law) while he has a loaded shotgun....and then believes it was an accident when said brother in law shoots him.

 

 

 

Yes must be a forking dimwit tosser.

I think the technical term you are looking for is turkey.

Anyone ever read the the book breaking the chain by Willy Voet.

Changed the way I looked at cycling.

I believe if Lance is ever found Guilty it would be close to a miracle.

The finacial implications and damage it can do to the sport is too big.

Ja, but this time its not the UCI investigating, its the FBI and the IRS. They could care less about cycling. Compared to baseball, cycling is a minor league sport in terms of money, yet that hasn't stopped them from taking down two of the biggest names in baseball history.

Which is why the UCI has never had the balls to do so. Would UCI/Verbruggen/McQuaid/Prudhomme etc put their jobs/positions/businesses/events in jeopardy by busting him? Unlikely.

 

A federal agent in the US, however, looking to further his career with a Big Fish prosecution...

interesting to note how opinions have changed

 

1 year ago - "lance never doped - **** you for saying he did"

 

now its more along the lines of "well - it looks like he did, but UCI & co never had the balls to sanction him"

Scary book, but that is the reality. Imo professional sport is full of cheating - from match fixing in cricket to cycling dopers. Greed for money drives it.

 

The big issue here is that the US Postal sponsorship was federal money, in other words American taxpayers' money. If proved that they used it to fund a doping program, the implications are huge.

 

In the case of a cycling team, there must be a lot of witnesses, it will be difficult to keep them all quiet. The evidence to back up their stories will be the 1999 samples.

Lance will probably end up blaming everything on Bruneel - thats what his friends are for, no?

Sheesh I'm no Lance fan but that would be hectic. From what I've seen the two of them are pretty tight. Not sure how the uni-baller will wriggle out of this one, but I do know it's going to be fun to watch.

Ja, watch those silly yellow personality-replacement bands fly off wrists worldwide if and when the truth comes out.

 

I have my I-told-you-so list ready and waiting, and some of them date back to the last century.
