When all the facts come out I think the statement above will be proven to be true. Prosecuting riders who confess to their transgressions only serves to discourage future cooperation. And take two seconds to look at the prosecuting ADA and what she's done. Also see that the Federal DA who...

BULL. Neither tried. If Lance agreed to go to a mall opening, they could get someone to sponsor it for $50,000, all the local politicians to come out, and 30,000 cult members to show up to spectate. I doubt either Levi or Lance know the race existed, nevermind the fact that its being...

If you took testosterone in April and withdrew blood in April, then reintroduced that blood in, say, July when you weren't taking testosterone...could that trip a positive test ? Testosterone is also fat soluble. Paula Pezzo dropped a ton of weight right before she got popped and insists to...

Poppycosh. Without a caravan, dropped riders almost never get back on after a puncture and NEVER....NEVER....after being "stale". And the weak justification for why the radios are being banned is because of what's happening at the front of the race, not that they're being use to motivate the...

I agree. I see a timeline as: '87 - passes clinical trials '89 - FDA fully approves '90 - Johannies Draaijer dies, according to his wife, of EPO use (see below for gap) '93 Overwhelming evidence that EPO is beginning to be widely by '93. Skibby, Chiappuchi, the Conconi trial all...

happier or better paid - I'm sure ! Ask Claudio Chiapucci if it worked out for him. Now ask Gilles Delion if staying clean paid off. Sporting fraud is hardly a justification for the use of the product. healthier - for the dutch guys who stroked out, I think...probably not. more popular...

I don't want to burst your bubble, but those breaks aren't out there because of the efforts of the breakaway riders. Those breaks are out there because of the intentions of the pack. For reason that I think are mostly stupid, riders are not supposed to attack if there's a break up the road...

Think of any race you've ever done, and tell me what information, if you had received it during the race, would have made one bit of difference in your placing ? Now think of the times there's been a car on the course or some other condition that's caused a bad accident and think about how...

The ban on race radios, passed by USAC and on its way to being banned by the UCI is silly. The premise is that the radios make the racing less exciting. Absurd ! Armstrong didn't have 7 guys riding tempo all day because of radios. Classics through the 90's didn't have sprint finishes...

Correct. You'd need to spice it up a bit...like give Floyd a job managing a bike shop under your coffee shop, or directing a U-23 team, or acting commissioner of the pro cycling tour, or director of Toyota United, etc etc. Those aren't bribes, those are helping a brutha out. Sorta like...

Besides not being able to spell above a 4th grade level, you know almost nothing about cycling. EPO didn't come about until the very end of Greg's career. Even then he didn't realize that his decline was due to doping, he had assumed that his decline was as a result of difficulties due to...
