I stand corrected, maybe not Every dumb@ss is going to be able to follow it... Read the article again; it was an internal memo, a Confidential UCI document, for "UCI anti-doping officials at the race, as well as the WADA observers present at the event" It was leaked, intentionally, to L'Equipe...

Cookson is going to sterilize the sport so that any dumb@ss can follow it and any punter can place a bet on who's going to win the TdF.

I don't know anything about the UCI briefing anyone about the bio passport; there are the stories of LA, Bruyneel, etc. being briefed, but that was again, Verbruggen era. And, it's an unsubstantiated guess, but not too much of a stretch to assume that there were A Lot of people on the Postal...

Soft pedaling...

You are the most expert Troll on these forums. Either that, or the years of drug abuse have deteriorated your ability to reason...

Why don't you just start with Saxo and Kreuziger, who was banned for passport values that were within accepted parameters. On the eve of the most lucrative GT of the year... (WTF?) Kreuziger may be a doper, but nobody's proven that yet. My thought is that there is a little battle going on...

Your myth of McQ, based on rumours and supported by the empty "Makarov Dossier", doesn't jive with facts. If he was so unethically dishonest and soft on dopers, why did he introduce the Bio Passport at all? If he was so soft on doping, why did he leak the passport watch list of suspect riders...

Not to fill a whole page of this thread, but, your point is often trotted out as "McQ was soft on doping..." without ever considering how important it was to McQ to attempt to control the message. Nobody has caught more dopers than McQ.

You can say he has no place, i.e. ""he was an unapologetic doper who deserves a lifetime ban." and say he's a scapegoat, i.e. "..one lifetime ban doesn't clean up the whole dirty peloton" and not be contradictory.

Lance is a scapegoat. Everybody doped. It doesn't mean he shouldn't be banned, but... Cookson is worse. At least Pat was catching dopers indiscriminately, Cookson is controlling who gets to ride and who doesn't and seemingly punishing teams that don't toe the line.

Johnny sideburns was a lousy cyclist and an incompetent doper. Now, he is the manager of a perennially mediocre team and a petty little man. Finally, the fairy dust of his incessant argyle PR drone has washed away and you have to ask yourself; is JV a lousy manager too, or is everybody else...

I believe, honestly, he's seen the error of his ways which is why he's been effectively sidelined. On the other hand, with Dawg being such a liability, and BW missing the fawning and wanting to go out with a bang and SKY needing any hero they can get... We'll all find out in the end. After...

F4 is just a smoke screen. I've heard from Very reliable sources that, continuing with his marginal gains program, he's going into collaboration with DrinkableAir.com. It's not what it sounds like; each team car will have an ultrasonic humidifier on board with a pipe exiting out the left hand...

Is his head getting larger? The grocery shopping alien...

I wonder if Cookson just made all that stuff up in order to get elected? What about the mysteeerious dossier? Was that true, or not?
