    Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

    He should set up a justgiving account himself or get someone he trusts absolutely to do it. I effing hate bullies and instead of stressing he's got no money it's time he got off his backside so everyone can help him (again) I have no idea to contact him other than a tweet which I would rather...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Hilarious - seems like another one of those unwise manoeuvres with a mouthpiece by proxy this time that's backfired again :D

    Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

    I've seen these types before - one of two sides or shades to them. A kind of a likeable madoff sort who had no intent to defraud initially or maliciously either. The ego gets out of control, lies spiral Ponzi style too spending somebody else's money funding their lifestyle thinking the future...

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    Cos they will get caught far easier in the most chequebook tabloid journalism ridden country in the world there is doping. And in the case of English footballers - most have never attained higher education, the only degree they know is on a thermometer and are as thick as a plank. They would...

    Thor's book

    Can't find it on amazon uk yet. Bound to be a big down-step reading my next cycling book after Gaimon's superb offering anyway.

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    Shin kicking or perhaps masters of ironic and sarcastic humour? Like taking the mickey out of our fellow Brits, such as that sheep sh*gger chimp eared Bale who is possibly having a stronger sauce than HP down in Paella-land nowadays - allegedly :D

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    I could not possibly comment other than my opinion about my suspicions about British riders doping not teams still applies. Having proof that will stand up in court is crucial. Affidavits, pictures, in this current era of camera phones with geo tagging of pictures and voice recorders it's...

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    They did, though I heard far more which didn't get into print or on the web thanks to a couple of mates who have worked at pretty much all of them!

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    The truth will leak out pretty quickly unless its in a very tight 'cell', and I have always maintained that if British riders dope they dope themselves with no team support, I don't think it would be feasible for a team to do it for long without some truth of it getting out. I would say...

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    Since when are we? There was me thinking that we're all homo sapiens that came from the Rift Valley nearly 200k years ago. The only legacies of the British Empire that I'm proud of is the marvellous multicultural melting pot I live in called London and our organisation and ratification of...

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    I think doing coke is performance degrading until it's out of your system. I would halve or even quarter the bans for recreational drugs and double it for those that really count in football - blood doping etc would get a much harsher ban than even roids would, which is football seems to be...

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    Not in Germany for the past decade, they have the skill of the Spanish combined with the strength and power they've always had. Showed Brazil who have erred too far into the power area how to play football and gave them a deserved spanking. I hear the English FA are finally going to do...

    Study - Dopers could benefit 'for decades'

    Ah yes. I started doping on anabolic steroids in 1988-89. Corticosteroids do pretty much the opposite of testosterone in the human body - they shed muscle and relieve muscular aches and pains. I heard of Eprex years before Festina and didnt join the dots as to what it was in terms of cycling...
