Found it. Forget I asked.

Different station then. Heard about Ruedski, but McEnroe?

Just curious, Buckle. Which commentators are ex-dopers?

Could be steatopygia, so genetic and nothing to do with PEDs.

It's called a linking (or sometimes intrusive) r. Occurs when a word ending in an r which is not normally pronounced is followed by a word beginning with a vowel. Hope this helps.

I agree to an extent. Yes, just spill the beans on everyone , then maybe a fresh start could be made. However, to compare this to the witch-hunts of the fifties, where innocent people had their lives and livelihoods ruined by American paranoia is going too far.

I'm not an apologist and this is a hypothetical case but I'd like to think I'd look at the evidence and listen to the arguments and then try to make up my mind. Of course, sometimes you just don't know and are left with a question mark as, I think, is the case here.

I'm not au fait with all the names used here, but I just hope the Miss Piggy wasn't aimed at me. (I don't really think so).

I can't get ITV or Ch 4 in the Netherlands so thanks for the link. Very interesting.

Thank you, and Libertine Seguros, for your measured respose(s). Perhaps, on reflection. now wasn't the best time to start posting but you have to start somewhere. Anyway, I've been enlightened and educated to some extent. I shall continue following the discussions and maybe chip in occasionally.

Maybe people come here because, like me, they're not sure and are looking for some informed opinion (for or against). I should have added to my last post that not everyone here is the same and it wasn't really my intention to make sweeping statements.

There is absolutely no need for ad hominems. You've just proved the point I was trying to make.

I agree with (most) of your post. But you forgot a few accusations. You've just joined so you're a "July poster" and "know nothing about cycling" and "only watch the TdF".

This isn't particularly aimed at enCYCLOpedia (sic), but I've been following these boards for a while now as I'm interested in cycling and enjoy reading the various opinions expressed here. However, it seems that text comprehension from some posters is rather lacking, and is getting in the way...
