From Cycling News: . . . "The UCI Management Committee acknowledged that a cloud of suspicion would remain hanging over this dark period - but that while this might appear harsh for those who rode clean, they would understand there was little honour to be gained in reallocating places," the...

I couldn't agree with you more. If everone's results are tainted, remove them or let them stand with an astrerisk. Fair and unform treatment across the board. Define the criterion and stick with it. If it is a failed test or something else really doesn't matter to me; being consistant seems...

Selective Justice I never thought I would say this but Armstrong is looking more and more like a martyr. As it appears, too many obviously guilty parties are getting off with a hand slap or falling under the radar. I believe that EVERYONE who rode on one of Armstrong’s teams deserves...

Whose titles stay and whose titles go? It has been a long time since I last followed the CN Forum and even longer since I submitted anything. Perhaps this has been discussed elsewhere, but I will pose the question anyway. I think most of us find the USDA announcement long over due and the...

Don’t rattle their cages! Just a little advice: I would shy away from using the words “always” or “never”. The Doc is better than most posters, but not 100%! He speculates and adds personal bias just like all of us. That being said, you owe it to the community to check your facts first...

Interesting press release! It would appear that the parties involved with ownership and management of Radioshack are up to something. Do any of the forum's "usual suspects" have some insight? I can't help but think this has more to do with the ongoing Postal/Discovery investigation and...

Disney won’t touch Armstrong? It looks like the Disney Corporation isn’t buying the Armstrong mystique either. On an upcoming episode of the Disney Channel’s Original Cartoon Series, Phineas and Ferb, Greg LeMond, not Lance Armstrong has a cameo (in cartoon form) spurring on one of the...

It looks more like "Father Time" caught up to Levi and the Shack Crew. They are a bit "long in the tooth" as they say!

Are we finally seeing the results of a “clean” or at least cleaner peloton? Bode Miller, professional alpine skier and five-time Olympic medalist, in an Oct. 16, 2005 Times Online article titled "War On Drugs Must Continue," was quoted as having said the following:"I'm surprised [EPO is]...

Personal dislike for Lance Armstrong aside, my question is really would the cycling community think differently of Tyler and Floyd if it was uncovered that they were every bit as forceful and manipulative as Armstrong inside their respective teams when it came to use of PEDs? What would you...

Does anyone know if Tyler and/or Floyd have been accused of pressuring teammates to use PEDs and providing banned substance while they were team leaders on CSC (Tyler) and Phonak (Tyler and Floyd)? I know that it has been implied that Lance did so while the two rode for him at Postal. I was...

OK, I’ll state it again. I am not suggesting anyone but Lance, Tyler and Floyd take a polygraph test to corroborate their stories. No one gets hauled off in handcuffs, no one goes to jail. If I understand you correctly, your concern is that when asked a particular question the response may be...

You arrived at the wrong conclusion. It wouldn’t be 10 out of 100 innocent people found guilty, it would be 10 guilty people being found innocent and cheating the test. I never suggested that this should be used as a control method for riders. I only suggested that the likes of Tyler, Floyd...

I don’t discount that a few people are wired (no pun intended) in a way that they can beat a polygraph, but how many people out of 100 would be able to cheat the test? Maybe one or two? How many procyclists have been able to cheat UCI/WADA drug tests? Looks like the odds are better with the...

Really? Then explain why Floyd turned down the opportunity to clear his name in 2006 and was offered $100k to take a polygraph test? The most logical explanation is -- as we know now -- he was lying and he was afraid it would ultimately convict him not clear him. Say what you want about...
