    Who Should We Believe

    Thanks. The avatar and the sig were facetious. I sort of decided that I like this place so I am going to switch to my usual username and 86 this one. I made a short post in the "Moderators, I beg you" thread that explains the situation.

    No D word here

    I am hoping to see Hincapie finally win something on a weekend. I am not optimistic, but it could happen.

    Up and coming riders

    Have to go with Andy Schelck too. This should be a breakout year for him. He was the strongest in last year's Tour; he just bonked at the wrong time.

    Landis considers return to Tour de France

    I was diagnosed with cancer, went through surgery and then chemotherapy. I find Armstrong's lying and defrauding the cancer "community" beyond despicable. It's Bernie Madoff-type behavior. If Armstrong wants to help those with cancer then he should start by telling the truth. He should stop...

    Armstrong riding to win Tour of France?

    I think there is a decent chance that Armstrong only came out of retirement so he can be fawned over by the press and the fanboys. He may not care about winning at all. He probably was not too pleased that the New York press was making fun of him last year.

    Cadel and Silence-Lotto

    He had been beaten down because he had no team support throughout the race. If Popoffthebacka***** would have done his job on the Alpe then Evans still might have won.

    Victory Salute Like A Pro

    I always liked Virenque's one arm and on efinger straight up while sitting up in the saddle. Found an example:

    Cadel and Silence-Lotto

    Truth here, but with support Evans would have won the Tour last year. I am just saying that if Evans were really intent on winning the TdF then five years ago he and his manager would have put him on a team that had the TdF as a goal. Instead he ended up on a team that was built more around...

    Tour teams announced

    You mean aside from Armstrong's positive for corticosteroids. Armstrong's six positives for EPO. Benoit Joachim's positive for nandrolone.

    Tour teams announced

    I want to see all those tools who last year were crying about Astana post similar crap in defense of Fuji and Barloworld.

    Lance conducts 24th doping control

    What bio passport? The bio passport is nothing more than a sham at this point. Lst year, with very little data, the AFLD was able to target and bust 20% of the TdF's stage winners. The UCI has taken thousands upon thousands of samples and not managed to bust anyone. In 2007 Anne...

    Cadel and Silence-Lotto

    Evans is not ambitious. If he were he would not be on Silence-Lotto. He would have done what was necessary to be on a team with proper support in mountains.

    Who Should We Believe

    The samples do not have names written on them. They have codes. The lab does not have the code key. In order to find out who a sample belongs to, you need a rider's doping control form. The UCI has that. It sort of works like this. Rider gives a sample and the the sample is coded. The...

    The Return of Omerta

    Wiggins found out that the doping has been kicked up a notch over the last couple of years. When a guy who weighs a buck thirty can beat the 170lb two time and reigning Olympic 4Km individual pursuit champion on a course like that then anyone with more than two brain cells knows what is up...

    Who Should We Believe

    The labs don't know who the samples belong to. The most they can do is leak that there as been a positive test. This helps keep hold the UCI's feet to the fire. In cases like the Landis one, it was his team that told the press it was Landis. They could have kept quiet until the B test had...
