    O'Grady non-confession-confession confession

    Young Stuey made a very big mistake, but unlike Alberto Contador he did not try .... Maaate, support the diggers at all cost huh? Old Stuey is still telling porkies over what young Stuey got up to. How long before we stop this endless cycle of justifying one doper over another based on...

    Contador and Spanish cycling

    Sigh. You've just lost a supporter Alberto. I'm not a fair weather friend, I've defended him on this forum previously. His comments show a complete lack of awareness of the current situation. Does anyone know of any, as yet undoped, Faroe Island pig farmer riding the next tour I can...

    Phil Liggert claims Federal investigators paid people to lie about Armstrong

    Apologies if this has been posted before. I might not have seen it through my tears of laughter. He is a weathered old soul isn't he? http://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23newliggettisms :D

    The mother of all apology speeches

    I am loving the fact that we are getting intelligent posts without the running interference of the ignorant. RR, Brodeal et al, keep up the good work. I too would love to be a fly on the wall in LA's war room. Like many others here I suspect what is playing out today has been planned over...

    Top Ten excuses Sky will use to fend off doping accusations

    Hello. I'm curious as to what it would take to convince forum members that someone wasn't doping? We've all been disillusioned through the years by LA, Basso, Alberto etc. As the above post alludes, the language used by the clean and the dirty is exactly the same. In light of this, is it...

    Tack attack

    Whilst I agree with the sentiments expressed in the postings - like all cyclists I have suffered my share of glass punctures and contempt from passing motorists, are we cyclists not in danger of becoming too strident? The news article link in this thread alludes to cyclists riding in large...

    Gracias Alberto Contador - thread.

    The Hitch; Then when i saw his performance in this Tour, how he handed himself , how he handles DEFEAT. How he handled his bad luck and his defeat off the bike. No anger, no tears, no impatience, instead saying after losing a 110km stage by 2km that he went for fun and enjoyed his day. No...

    Hindsight 20/20, where did Andy lose it?

    Is there a possiblitiy that it is because Andy has had things happen too easily? He's a great hill climbing talent, but he has been praised to the hilt (people's champion blah blah). Has he believed the back slappers? Conversely, Cadel has had to battle a lot more over the years and has...

    Stick a fork in Alberto Contador

    Thank you Ramira, a balanced post. I'm an unashamed Contador fan and get sick of the ill informed bashing. Chapeau to both Andy Schleck and Cadel Evans. A great ride by both, it brought the race to life. Long may it continue.

    About time - stuff the Asterisks At last, a real race is breaking out! I was getting sick of the procession and the whining of the so called "peoples' champion" Go bertie! Give us a real race. Cuddles for the win.
