Yes and what is the point?

Fair comment is not comment in breach of a legal order. The issues are what matte rs not the name. Have ou ever noticed that the problems of cycling are not about bad individuals but are systemic? Here is a chance to discuss that but the clinic is mostly concerned with outing a rider? It begs...

The paragraph of the order was posted by shortleg. The default position of the law in Australia is confidentiality in doping matters. There needs to be a public interest to name. In fact CAS rules are the same. If a case had been the subje ct of such procedural errors would you want your name...

Publicat ion by Twitter in Australia as with publication here would be in breach of the law. It's interesting to also see some forum members are so tied up with their own ma infest destiny that they think 1.cn is an American web site and 2 they enlist us imperialism as their excuse. And the...

So how does this contribute to a discussion of the issues, or to the resolution of the problems of maladministration that beset cycling?

Contempt First of all whoever started this thread please read the other thread on this case. Whoever has submitted names above is very close to being in contempt. The penalties for this are quite severe. I dont know if you have ever been in jail bit it aint fun. I think the best thing CN can...

I would rather be broke and Floyd than be rich and a hypocrite like those that are organising these attacks on him. Joe Papp is rtight - this is low but what would one expect from these people. We know what you are on: Greed, Self Interest and Hate.

CN response Yes, I think Laura should come down here and explain herself. I am happy to have an open debate about her reasons for not covering this story. martin
