    dogs nipping at your feet

    They have the angle ... Unfortunately in most of my encounters the dogs they have the angle in their favour when approaching (much like a slower opponent tackling the much faster running back in football), so it is not often that they are merely running you down from behind. Furthermore their...

    *** Free Laboratory-Based Fitness Assessment ***

    Hmm ... So you possess the accreditation of a Bachelor of Arts degree and are involved in the diagnostics of scientific study? How did you ever obtain approval from the Ethics Sub-Committe?

    The cycling fan's hypocritical parallel world ;-)

    Please don't read this post. Uhm ...ok ... you obviously read my post. Point being? :confused: Note to self ... Mr. D-Queued lacks the ability to detect both sarcasm and humour. Uhm … nope. I think I may have just posed a question. Wait … yep …. just a question. Apparently a loaded one...

    Cheating (therefore Doping) Will ALWAYS Exist

    You are absolutely right! Pull the plug on a show that grossed more than 155 million in ad revenues alone last season. All that they have to do is reach into that magic hat and instantly produce another show that generates 14.7 million viewers. Oh ... gotta go ... Brooke is at the door ... or...

    X files Do you hear the voices too? All I keep hearing in my head is, "Psst … what is your VO2 max … no seriously ... what is your V02 max … damnit … I need to know!" Regards, The guy with an apparent hidden agenda (I think someone is following me). :eek:

    The cycling fan's hypocritical parallel world ;-)

    Sympathies ... Paid shill you say? Uhm ... and who exactly would be paying me? I have zero connections to the cycling industry, with the exception of jumping on my trainer during the cold winter months until the snow clears. Perhaps I should go into marketing? Does it pay well? I was merely...

    Hardly being 'coy' my good fellow. coy/koi/Adjective 1. (esp. of a woman) Making a pretense of shyness or modesty that is intended to be alluring but is often regarded as irritating. I am sorry but your wistful feelings towards me are off target. As far as the Botox comment ... uhm ...

    Awesome link! Is it just me ... or did young Thomas seem to be leaving it all on the road? Brilliant performance!

    The cycling fan's hypocritical parallel world ;-)

    I definitely agree with the Armstrong argument. He is the 'cherry picker' of cycling. As far as the PED's taking the excitement out of the sport ... I am not quite sure what you mean? Are you saying that todays athletes do not put out as much effort during races? There can be only one first...

    Lemond a dope? You are precisely right! I am curious as to how one can state with certainty that a particular rider (er … say Lemond) competed clean? Given the history of the rampant doping practices in the sport since its inception (yes … pre-EPO era), and the fact that blood doping has...

    Are Kenyan runners doped?

    So ... the genetic freaks don't benefit, but the average hard working grinder does? I would say it makes for a level playing field then. May the best man/woman win. :o

    Are Kenyan runners doped?

    Dear Mr. Canova, So ... Kenyan's do not have access to pharmaceuticals or medical equipment? Hmm ... but you do say you have the internet? Well ... I found the following products available for purchase within 15 seconds via a Google search...

    Are Kenyan runners doped?

    Too funny! They string him along so easily. It is amazing that he even responds. Perhaps the body/mind is more capable than what we believe possible and that the use of EPO's would be of no benefit to an athlete's performance. Uhm ... I think not. :o
