Re: Re: No, they did not. It is not my intention to argue just for the sake of argument, but we seem to be talking in circles here. I was simply referring to the fact that the OP has not responded since the initial post (obviously, because their post count is still only at "1"). That is...

Re: And I'm surprised (and more than discouraged) that the mods wouldn't have seen the bogus and disingenuous OP for what it is. It should've been deleted from the start. How many signs do you need? A first-time poster appears with a poorly written and vague criticism. The OP is from MAY, and...

Re: Re: Likely to cover up the logo. Some things you can make up, others you just don't have to. Team Sky stocking up for the season. Those are team colors, no?

Re: I never claimed it to be "everyone" as I'm sure you fully realize. Truth is, I had expanded my thoughts more fully in my first attempt but the dysfunctional 502 issues of this forum meant they that vanished, and I couldn't be bothered to rehash my entire argument. I thought my more obvious...

Ahhhhhh.... There's a reason I'm bumping this thread. I'll give the tech team one guess as to why. :rolleyes: Having posts disappear into the matrix because of this 502 issue still sucks. A lot. It seems to be a problem unique to this particular forum. Not that anyone anywhere seems to...

I had originally expanded more on my previous post, but once again my thoughts were lost to the ever-disruptive 502 BAD GATEWAY message that the tech team seems to not care one bit about rectifying. (I'll try to quickly recapture what I had attempted to post, but I can't be bothered much...

I hope the author of that article wasn't paid for his work. You've got to be kidding me with this. The references to cycling are laughable. Bribery in cycling?! Yeah, since forever. The delusion that Lance was the only person winning bike races demonstrates the shallow perception of the sport...

Re: Mechanical doping: first rider caught Not sure if this particular BS aspect of the story has been touched on or not. We know that they're claiming the motorized bike belonged to Nico Van Muylder. So let's consider those circumstances and that scenario. A guy supposedly arrives with a...

It's all fun and games in Colorado. https://twitter.com/Vaughters/status/694698223919697920 Funny guy. Not long ago the very notion of motorized bikes was openly mocked. Of course "the old fashion way" of cheating was to use the best and most effective methods of the time, while doing...

Re: Mechanical doping: first rider caught Latest press release. A non-story really. It's all been covered so far in this thread. Van den Driessche’s friend claims ownership of motorized bike And that's literally all he said in that article. :rolleyes: To the broader issues being touched...

Re: Re: There seems to be a reason for that. I was wondering why he looked somewhat flat-footed and wasn't employing more of his kicking prowess early on. I suppose this explains it. Sage Northcutt Went to Emergency Clinic for Strep Throat Before Loss Is he for real? I mean, he seems to be...

Re: Re: You're in luck then. No need to wait! :) That's been the stated position of many fans and media for some time now. Links will be easy to provide is necessary. But they shouldn't be.

Re: Re: :D Very true (and sad). :( I'll admit, I hadn't fully considered that aspect of it. People are complaining (and rightfully so) about fan interference as it is. If Femke were to race again at any time in the near future, it could very well create a dangerous situation for all involved.

Re: Re: No, I don't think so. I think it's more a matter of people wanting to finally put the emphasis on those who hide in the shadows while the individual athlete gets hung out to dry. If Femke takes the brunt of the punishment herself, then we're right back to where we started. Everyone in...

Re: Based on parakeet-gate (yeah, I just went there) I'd say, yes, they thought they'd get away with it. And if not, they probably weren't all that concerned with the consequences. They seem like a despicable lot, devoid of a moral compass. Thanks, dad! The ringleader should never be allowed...
