Jarno Widar is a pretty interesting name Jarno is a specifically Finnish form of Jeremy. I can't find any info on how he ended up with a specifically Finnish name but I'm going to assume it's due to Italian F1 driver Jarno Trulli, who in turn got it from Finnish F1 driver Jarno Saarinen. Maybe...

I'm afraid I'm not communicating my point properly here. I'm not saying political posts should stand, I'm saying less obviously political posts such as those lambasting the protestors are nevertheless also political and should also be removed

I'd say it's hypocritical because the stance being allowed in the forum is still very much political

The point is not that you've removed any posts defending the protests, the point is we know any posts that discussed the crux of the matter would be against the rules so people are not making those posts in the first place. But people are allowed to lambast the protestors, as per the rules. It's...

Kinda wack that we can't discuss politics and thus that we're barred from defending the protests but people are still allowed to say the protestors are lunatics or whatever

I'm sorry is this 2010

Has Gee or anyone close to him actually hinted at his reasons, or are we to just imagine whatever motive we like best?

Armstrong was pretty much the last of his generation to be busted. Nobody needs to "expose others in that era"

That's a good point actually. How do we know the mods aren't minors? Who's verifying this? Remove all mods to be safe IMO

If I felt the urge to defend Armstrong in a doping message board by bringing up all these old talking points I'd make sure to read USADA's Reasoned Decision first which already addresses pretty much all of them, but maybe that's just me

That's also what it means in Dutch. I did some digging around to see whether it couldn't somehow be the equivalent of modern kort lijf ("short* body") instead, but nothing of the sort came up. I did find the coat of arms used by the Cortleeve family in Delft in the 18th century, though, so...

That's literally what "making his own race" means, there's no "don't overtake your teammates" clause. If such a clause exists, it's no longer "make your own race" but "protect your teammate's GC spot", which is only justified IMO for, like, a podium spot

The idea that Uijtdebroeks was "backstabbed" because Vlasov was allowed to make his own race rather than forced to protect Uijtdebroeks's 7th (seventh) place is just sad. I'm sure that's how he saw it but it's ridiculous

Oh I get it. If people move on from this 2-year-old story, you're free to misrepresent it so you can keep believing your guy is and always was the victim. You want the naysayers to move on while you stay manning the Uijtdebroeks Did Nothing Wrong trenches. Sorry but that's not how it works. If...
