"Saugy said to have reported Armstrong samples to FDA" I smell the next headline: ARMSTRONG'S ATTORNEYS DEMAND APOLOGY FROM CYCLINGNEWS :)

Yes, CobbleStoned has posted 1960 times in the last 15months... But don't hold that low count against him. It would be even higher if he hadn't served a several month suspension for being such a freak. Err, "true believer" :o

It does get reported in the US. Frank Deford, senior writer for Sports Illustrated. He used to write w/ great indignation about how the French would yell "doper!" as Armstrong rode past. Poor Deford couldn't believe how nasty and anti-American those damn Frenchies were toward the wonderful...

Bwahahahaha. Thanks, you just gave me a good laugh. :D

Aargh. The Scott bars were not a secret weapon, Fignon's team had them too. The story is that Fignon actually had them on his bike during the warmup for '89 Tour TT #2, but didn't like them and had his mechanic take them off the bike. Also, I recall reading that in the final TT, Fignon opted...

Isn't it pretty well-established that the Roche of '87 was geared up w/ Dr. Conconi? I like Roche, but you can't have a fair fight w/o fairness :)

Wasn't there a story about how after '99, LA and Comical posted LA's VO2 online. Lemond looked at it and calculated that something was amiss, given Lance's body weight and stated VO2, he wouldn't have been able to climb as fast as he did. He communicated this discrepancy to Comical, and then...

Yeah, I think 65 is a lot better than "good for a non-athlete". It is not in the stratosphere of 'elite' national-class athlete, but for weekend warrior citizen athlete-types, it is very very respectable. I think w/ the right gear, you could go far. Anybody know what Papp's was? Now there's...

Nonsensical argument. The reason ANY of us watch sport is b/c of the emotional connection we get from it, our ability to identify w/ at least one athlete in the competition. If you disagree w/ this, you are either kidding yourself or are some type of auto-maton savant.

Agreed, this is hyperbole. The whole argument for legalization of drugs is that if legal, you take the criminal element out of it, b/c there is no longer obscene profits to be made. The mafia isn't interested in 20% margins.

"by being anonymous, you have no responsibility for actions, which hurts implied ethics." WTF? As a poster in The Clinic, I have no 'actions', only statements made. As far as 'implied ethics', FFS what is he talking about? The interest here is not in MY ethics (implied or otherwise), it is...

Yeah, ManRod is on the cutting edge of veggie rights litigation, but it wouldn't kill them to run spellcheck now and again :)

Youre' right, nobody believes ManRod is an actual legal firm. I'm pretty sure nobody has believed that in the last 100 posts or so... However, you seem to be questioning whether Floyd had the cajones to sent those emails to the UCI? If you need clarification, you could either: 1. Send an...

BBay, clearly you never read the JV (Jesus Veritas) parables through to the end. For example, at the end of "Miracle of the 5 Loaves" (where JV fed the masses) quite a few ppl started asking "this is nice, but what's for dessert?" At that point, JV bailed, saying he was "way too busy for...

Realize Kimmage was onto something when he said, "The sport cannot be saved"??
