    "Not less than the men"

    At least female cycling isn't as laughable as women's football (the world championships came close though). I believe the level of competitiveness should rise, before wages go up. This would scare away a lot of companies. Instead the women should use races such as the WC, that has world wide...

    Copenhagen World Championships: Elite Women Road Race, 140km

    Well that wasn't spectacular...

    Sky/Froome Talk Only (No Way Sky Are Cleans?)

    Yeah that sounds reasonable... I'm sure he always had that GT win in him but somehow Team Sky with their super-cool scientific approach to cycling didn't notice it... He's come a long way from being a completely average domestique to a GT contender. There is no way he has been on this level...

    Jennie Longo pulls a Rasmussen

    Your great hero Lance would probably be facing the same charges if it wasn't for his friends in high places and all the money he has. Just because Joe can't afford a million dollar defense doesn't mean he's deserves it more than Lance. At least he tries to change something about the doping...

    Jennie Longo pulls a Rasmussen

    I'm sure you'd do the right thing and serve 10 years in a "federal pound me in the *** prison" (to quote Office Space). The fact that you seem to enjoy the fact that his life might be destroyed just to set an example, because he broke the code of silence, is simply pathetic.

    Doping in boxing

    I'm not saying that he's not doping (he probably is) but its very common for heavyweight boxers to be on top of their game well into their forties. (Because heavyweight is not as much about lightning quick speed)

    No way __________ is/are clean.

    That one thread would become very chaotic, but maybe have a thread for each team (if and when a possible doping case comes up). Threads could be called something like: (whatever team) doping cases

    David Garcia Dapena

    So when they get caught they suddenly 'care' about the health of their friends? That's not even relevant here...

    David Garcia Dapena

    I'm wondering how you guys feel about the moral code "never rat on your friends". Since that is basically what's happening here, he's not helping his friends get caught. I can't imagine ratting on my friends if I willingly broke the law (or rules) together with them... Like everyone I'm not...

    Cobo Talk Only

    The man you are talking about is Jose de Cauwer, but after a quick google search I couldn't find any doping-related connection between de Cauwer and JvdB. (I did however find a connection between de Cauwer and dope.)

    Sky/Froome Talk Only (No Way Sky Are Cleans?)

    Or maybe he considers Cobo to simply be a better cyclist which, looking at their past performances, isn't completely unthinkable... There is not a doubt in my mind that something fishy is going on with both riders but Froome's performance is definitely a bigger surprise than Cobo's.

    Cobo Talk Only

    You seem intent on proving that Cobo is definitely doping, and meanwhile proving that Froome definitely isn't doping. Their performances go hand in hand. Froome has been pacing Wiggins up the mountains for 2 weeks, I'd say his exertions are equal to Cobo's. Also today Froome proved that he...

    Cobo Talk Only

    Actually they didn't really. They said that this was the "Vuelta of the domestiques" and they added that it was 'curious' that people like Cobo and Froome outperformed proven climbers such as Nibali, Menchov and Purito. Too bad they can't speak their mind really because I'd love to hear what...

    Cobo Talk Only

    Watching that last ascent ****ed me off... I can't stand watching those retards on the side of the road blocking everyone's path and screaming in the riders' ears. Then on top of that Cobo wins. A rider who has always ridden for dodgy teams (SDV and everything that came after that) and in the...

    Geraint Thomas

    Who knows maybe he could indeed T20, but would you really want to? Preparing to ride for 15th-20th place in the TdF seems stupid. I'd rather go for a stage win. Don't think he could do better than 15th-ish place.
