why fired? i assume because of the delay or was it some other reason?

well i think we might say, casts suspicion on those that MIGHT be innocent. but everyone in procycling is under suspicion now, why not put some numbers to it so everyone can make a somewhat informed guess. perhaps this is a difference in philosophy - if i may summarize your implied position...

definitively verses probabilistically AC - i note you are careful to say "definitely" when talking about identifing who is/is not doping. however, as number of other posters have noted, could we not generate probabilities as to whether someone is doping or not? that in itself would be useful...

couldn't a monte carlo analysis help us here? i thought doping gives a significant advantage; while i can see the large range for these factors a probabilistic analysis might allow us to separate the doping range from the non-doping range, with an admitted overlap. i think the critical...

on the fence i'm not sure what your decision point is-are you on the fence as to whether lance is a great man worth hero worship? Or are you on fence as to whether you should be inspired by the lance media constructed story to go out and ride your bike? If the former, i think the evidence is...

whoa! is that true? i missed that one-do you have a link i can get the story from? i mean the part about -1 min from Conta's time

ricco why do you think you will not get your wish?

correct order should start with scotch, then fill the bong, put a significant dusting of blow on top, hit it, then both hookers

support of whistle blowers isnt it more complex than that? do the riders (ie the employees) really have the ability to come out and support the whistle blowers? does this happen in real life when someone comes out in a corporate environment? for anyone trying to make it in the extremely...

yates i dont disagree Digger. one scenario is that yates rode "clean", wanted to stay in cycling, saw the writing on the wall, and held his nose while at Disco.

great post Gregory - and i concur with your analysis of the excellent back and forth at this forum. while i tend to agree with pmcg76, ludwig and blackcat do paint a scary and plausible picture. call me naive, but i would prefer to believe that some riders are doing it "clean" (whatever that...

originally posted by ludwig: Yet one cannot seriously claim cycling has a zero tolerance policy when McQuaid, Verbruggen, Bruyneel, Riis et all are running the show. It also seems highly likely that the experiences of 06-08 soured the pro cycling community on testing as part of the competitive...

Ok to honor ludwigs request for debate, i will examine his statements in detail. ludwig postulates and i respond below. 1.Savulescu is correct when he claims that: a. the current policies harm fair competition (under omerta, doping inequality is likely to be greater, and bold risk-takers will...

JS-idiot savant or just idiot? Julian clearly has an axe to grind. his understanding of the technical issues around doping appears limited at best. for example he equates altitude chambers and use of EPO (see video i posted earlier for examples of this and other woolly headed statements)...

doesnt know wtf he is talking about check it peoples http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hPFMDFacRA another academic blowhard
