Worsen. - Not telling the whole truth, still scheming, admitting only what cannot be denied any longer. - Still lying (the USADA donation thing). - Using children as shield. - Crying over revenue loss (poor baby … tell that the homeless!). - Too many omissions. - "I called you...

Zierke knew a bunch of experts, all ex-Telekom riders: Hundertmarck, Boelts, Zabel – they had better told him how to use the stuff.

He already had it all: wins, money, attention. And don’t forget, that he just tried to survive in the avalanche. Best time to apologise, say thank you and quit.

Do it – if you want to learn about the cognitive dissonance Millar is. There isn’t any serious whistleblowing in the pages and you see only names, which are publicly connected with doping anyway, so that Millar hasn’t to fear anybody’s legal defense. The only benefit, the book delivers is...

Benoît Joachim, ex-teammate of LA, had the opportunity to work with Dottore Ferrari, but didn’t take his chance – in fear of a positive text result. He declares doping to be a personal thing. Nobody is forced to do it … He calls the USADA investigation ridiculous and says, that LA is the...

About the work of the Lausanne lab since 1997: http://www.chemometry.com/Index/Anti-doping/The%20blood%20trail%20of%20cycling.pdf - translation of the original story of 2007 by Remo Geisser, published in Neue Zuercher Zeitung...

Shaving … Why not ordering meatless steaks and beer without bubbles?

:D Dream on. Inside here he can check just one thing: What does the critical fan who does fancy a certain cynical attitude is thinking right now? That’s all. Neither is this forum a proper representation of the interested public (= potential customers of sponsor goods) nor is a...

Another thought: the German BDR is one of the bigger (and therefore wealthier) federations. Assume, that its influence inside the UCI wasn’t neglectable back then..

Apart of keeping the torso warm, I noticed two important things: The more room your feet have, the warmer it is, that’s right, but it is also vital to loosen the straps a little bit – quite inconvenient, when pedaling harder or sprinting, but the straps can block blood circulation. I rarely...

Orrr, do me a favour …! Next stop will be a quote of the chapter, where Millar describes his visit at Jean-Marie Leblancs office and quotes him talking about forgiveness. Phew … No, he did what he did, intentionally, with open eyes, fully aware of the risk and with no concern for others. I...

Don’t make this mistake. Don’t tell us, that we can only watch pro-cycling if we quit being a critical public. Maintaining criticism is vital for cleaning up. And remember: you need to clean your home frequently, not just only once.

Re: his geocaching hobby – possibly a good method to find containers stashed alongside the road by teammates … :D

sniper, I get your point and I noticed, that he is avoiding certain questions. But having the choice between a team manager ignoring the public and one entering a discussion I’d always prefer the latter one. The comparison with Jens shows the difference between one who is confronting the...

Appreciation for JV still participating in the discussion, although the level for convincing critics (who I appreciate big time too!) is high around here – for a reason. Just compare his style when confronted with aggressive questions to that Jens showed in the German TV piece of 14 Oct...
