Agreed Deagol, Yep, trained in chemistry - synthetic organic, analytical - read Ashenden's material and that clinched it for me. All the rest of the testimony around it just confirmed it in my mind.

Gimme a break! I've got proof the 195 EPO doses are Evans'. I've also got proof that Elvis is still alive - he's living with Ferrari and is on EPO too. And I know who shot JFK. It was Och and Rihs. They did it because JFK was onto their program! :rolleyes:

Enough already Skippy, Got to agree with you. Unless there is evidence of doping, people should shut up about it. Enough already! I think they just MRI'd Horner's head, not his whole body which would be very time-consuming (considering a head MRI takes a while - I've had one!) and...

An over-reaction perhaps? People's reaction to the original post have been a bit over-the-top. The way I see it, the person who originally posted about Soler was simply asking if people would pray so that Soler would continue to recover. If people aren't religious, they can just ignore the...

Schleck lost it during the ITT. As others have mentioned, the lack of a recon of the course was cavalier, bordering on plain nuts. Plus, Schleck simply needs more work in this discipline. He's getting better, but still not good enough. He needs to be in the upper parts of the Top 10 to win a...

Don't they have parties for that? Don't they have parties to produce a 'polka dot baby'? ;) The way it goes: one kid gets Chicken pox, other parents find out, organise a pox party to get it over and done with. Still requires a few weeks. And for a baby, probably not good. :eek:

The Schleck Hate Thread The Schleck hate thread is the other one! Just in case some people here were confused. :rolleyes: I think the Schlecks' riding has shown a lot of courage this Tour, and they finished it off with good sportsmanship. There's a distinct lack of sportsmanship in sport...

mickkk, I get your point. But Andy actually expresses that he's happy for Cadel in his tweet. If he was thinking about popularity, then all he needed to do was say 'congrats' and nothing more - job done. He's got my respect.

I found Frank and Andy's talking themselves up during the Tour, and their Team's talking them up a bit unbearable. If Andy or Frank had won, I would have been disappointed for Cadel, but they would have deserved it. But I think the way a person responds to defeat shows their character...

Nice work Mambo! Great point. Bahahahahahaha. And Kohl. :)

Some VERY sour grapes Dave, Would you like some lemon with those sour grapes? :D Criticise Cadel all you like, but he will still have the yellow jersey! :p

Too close to call I'm really hoping it's Cadel. But I think 57s is too close to call it. Cadel definitely looked stronger at the finish and he's a better ITT'er. But Andy has been preparing for this alone. If he was arrogant enough to believe he could destroy Cadel on the climbs and so not...

Call me paranoid LongSprint, Yeah, me too. I wouldn't have raised the issue unless I thought it had considerable merit. I can't see any other reasonable explanation. Take the sprinters - the teams fight go flat out when there's a breakaway they want to catch. There have been a few...

A serious serving of humble pie After saying on other threads that I didn't think Andy was on form, I've been eating a serious serve of humble pie. WOW, what a move! Every km up that climb I was waiting for Andy to blow up, but he didn't. Have to say that Cadel's effort was also incredible...

Wiggo? Patterson, Fair enough. If we're talking crashes, I think Wiggans' crash has made a massive difference to the shape of the race. Wiggo had his 2009 form (and possibly better) and was a real contender, I think. But again, like AC, it's a case of not being in the right place in the...
