why dont you try reading the posts that his statements were in response to...there was a whole conversation that it was in response to.

definitely not coincidence...at one time anything the guy touched turned to gold.

I suppose that saying that I hate Contador is a pretty strong statement as I have never met him...there are certain things about him however, that I just dont care for...most of them difficult to put a finger on I suppose. I think that my distaste for him started in 2009 I was not impressed by...

What statistics are you using to make the statement that the cycling industry did not grow in America with Lance's success. As I was not in business when Lemond was racing I cannot speak to that but I am scratching my head about the "Lance Era" statement.

I feel like the statement I made initially was a valid statement. There are many things that are said on these threads that I completely disagree with and if I decide to respond to one of those things I certainly try and do it with as much respect and civility as possible. The fact that at the...

Seriously? I am not debating it but FRS does not seem like the sort of energy drink that is causing problems...I have used it in the past and to the best of my memory it is just a bunch of B vitamins and Amino Acids.

Do you feel better now? I forgot that this forum is used to belittle others opinions...since that is apparently the case I think your opinion is bitter and short sighted. I am not trying to debate whether or not he doped...likely he did...and just as likely, if he did so did the vast majority...

This is a great, great post and you said much more eloquently what I was trying to get at yesterday. I make a (bad) habit out of trying to over simplify what I say about certain topics and I certainly do not have the knowledge of this topic that you have so I just wanted to say thank you for...

Like him or not, nobody can deny what he has done for this sport. I am not the driver of the Lance bandwagon but I certainly respect him.

Yes, I understand that, I was replying to Snipers thoughts about the plasticizer test being a smoking gun (not hating on Sniper) in and of itself. I was simply trying to point out that all we have heard is that plasticizers were found in his body...and that its not saying much until we know...

I agree that the plasticizer finding is interesting but the fact of the matter is that if you were tested for plasticizers right now you would test positive...the test needs to be refined to show what levels people will have once they have been hooked up to IV tubing and bags.

This point was brought up a while ago and I think it is correct. I havent had the time to try and look it up but can anyone confirm that if AC races tomorrow and then an appeal is made and he is sanctioned (again) the ban would start anew from the last race he participated in? that is...

Wow...that did not take them long. Think maybe they were expecting this reaction?

My one year old daughter is screaming at me at the moment so I cant do the math but it would likely be micrograms worth of clenbuterol in the whole body at that point...still not enough for a therapeutic effect but had he consumed the clenbuterol even 72 hours previously the body would have...

I agree, I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but at this point...this is a really plausible explanation.
