From Hamilton's book, I got a couple things. The first was that it seems like you can't necessarily tell how much someone will benefit from doping. Some of this is simply due to the 50% hematocrit limit (riders who are naturally lower can use more EPO) and some of it seems unpredictable for...

Wait, did you just volunteer to be raped and pillaged?

I like this victory salute way better than the finger pistol

Actually he's still pouting by the side of the road refusing to pin a race number on his jersey.

If he wants to sit out the green jersey race and let that actually be interesting that's fine by me. At least that adds SOME sort of uncertainty and drama to the sprints =/

Give Contador the exact same form as he had this year but remove Andy Schleck, and all anyone would be talking about is how much better Contador was in the mountains than anyone in the world and how much that is clearly proof he's juiced.

I heard that after they took the blood they tested the syringe and found that it was contaminated with Andy Schleck's blood.

Lotto having a crappy team in the mountains isn't exactly evidence of a clean peloton. It's evidence that you're watching the Tour de France.

I suggest a duel. Front wheels at dawn!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has to lean into turns when I drive.

I think Bruyneel's comments are very appropriate and reasonable. However, to me this is actually a good representation of what he did wrong this year. His problem was that he wasn't able to overcome his friendship with Lance (which is understandable) and reign in a strong personality in...

That was exactly what I was referring to. Also, not a lot of choices if you happened to think he'd do worse than he did but still have a good overall placing.

This is an effective demonstration of why it's important to look at how polling questions are asked and not just at the "results".
