I've told you a million times before, stop exaggerating

It is a good quote and applies both ways. That's not to say that when evidence either way mounts you cannot come to a conclusion, but one should always have doubts.

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." Bertrand Russell

You do realize that such an intelligent well reasoned post like that has no place in the Clinic?

One of them was referring to Frank's $10k training advice from Fuentes and comparing that "defence" to JTL's drinking binge, Alberto's steak and Lance's saddle sores. All verifiable and by no stretch of the imagination libelous.

I had three particularly mild comments deleted from the Guardian Article on his retirement. Even a hint that Frank's problems may have contributed to Andy's decline is a no, no.

Read Matt Rendall's book. From memory it's probably fair to say he had a laissez faire attitude to training and often trained on his own, but probably no different to a lot of riders in the past.

Can't imagine that is performance enhancing, mind if it helps you hit the ball over 300 yards like Johnson then I might give it a go before my next round:rolleyes:

Anybody know anything more about this? http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jul/31/dustin-johnson-break-golf-professional-help-personal-challenges

Think we've just found the cycling equivalent to Godwin's Law

I know that the clean rider would have to beat a load of dopers with different engines, just had a problem with the particular analogy. Do you know Armstrong's and/or Froome's natural talent given that we know Armstrong doped from a very early age and Froome, well I don't know, but it appears he...

That analogy only works if you are saying that the clean rider has exactly the same "engine" as the doped rider. To exaggerate to prove a point if the old Honda Accord had a 1 litre engine then the boost received from the nitrous oxide may or may not beat a Honda Accord with a 2 litre engine.

There is a potential COI. However, this is quite common in politics, business and the law and as long as the COI is managed correctly i.e. Cookson snr. has nothing to do with issues regarding SKY and BC then I can't see a problem. Frankly, all he needs to do is to make testing and sanctioning...

Good luck with that then!:D

You're correct, neither of the stories make much sense. However, that's not uncommon in the case of some illnesses. These comments were from the author of an article about Froome and the disease: - "Adult schistosomes do feed on the blood, and there is some evidence that blood parameters are...
