Yes – from the start sprinters reach peak acceleration after approx. 50-60 metres or so, I would say nearly half way and then decelerate, in Bolts case less so (add caveat) “than the others” in the field. Usually eight starters in athletics sprinting, right! Bit like the clinic twelve only...

Of course, for recovery. Not even controversial - like most of the clinic :) Somatotype by selection is another hot topic or is that the other way around. This is the here and now, add to that the new PED’s doing the same. Take Bolt in sprinting as an example. Very tall guy would not...

I have enjoyed reading the posts on this thread about an interesting linguist, fun to contribute too. Alas I am not as well read as many here, but is it not that the ‘left and right’ in politics is a man made construct anyway? I think the most important or at least interesting aspect of...

Well none of this thread is cutting edge news, no disrespect, but we are not exactly front line investigative journalists now are we?

I agree that Chomsky lacks political strategy and solution, similar to Marx, but might this be because he is not a Politian? He is an intellectual after all. I still think the quote below is a great observation by Chomsky. “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly...

Ah ...given that you responded to my thoughts like grease lightening probably means that you have not given what I wrote a moments though, but I plough on regardless, with hope and a fervent prayer. As for your views, I was not challenging them, merely pointing out that "every action has an...

What people believe is an interpretation and not the truth. Truth is not a version of events or your way of seeing something. Truth is truth and no one person or religion has ownership.

Where the views of Echoes expressed on this forum are extreme, and I suspect a marginalised worldview. It strikes me that you are entrenching Echoes further into his dogmatic position. Now this might be rich entertainment for the God and Religion thread, but changes absolutely nothing. Just a...

Now this is the real evil! And you can throw in U2's Bono with charity raising venture capitalism where the money goes anywhere but the charity it was intended. Not forgetting Jimmy S, also started off on two wheels. Good post Benotti.

Why only religion? Morals are innate and can be studied in nature and the animal kingdom, and our connection to animals through "the theory of evolution" has been unequivocally substantiated through genetics...

Whole sale doping is a corruption to cycling and I know this. As I have already iterated, you have to look at the bigger picture. It is both incorrect to blame Armstrong solely for the creation of a doping empire, although I concede he participated with gusto. Nor is it correct to get personal...
