Carmichael, doping mastermind

I hope they still are! Sprinting without coming out of the saddle Out climbing everyone @1400w while sitting just saying (slightly sarcastic :rolleyes:)

I thought it was rather clear that such behaviour is generally rejected .. despite his harmless and goofyness intention. It's not that this makes him an @sshole, it's the action itself that is rejected, my example was just an analogy. (If most of your actions are like that you'll likely be...

As we were talking about Sagan and his function as role model concerned by his pinching thus referring to the moral guidance of role models. Of course you'll be regarded as a role model because of your success. The reason people can make this distinction (e.g. genius musician but total @sshole)...

Nicely put, much shorter than I could phrase :)

djeez I don't expect them to be right because it's not their JOB, I don't listen to jimi Hendrix, Queen or whatever thinking about their public function as role model. I don't watch cyclists because of they're obligation as a role model. I don't watch violent movies thinking the actor is doing...

maybe an additional contract clause should be added: may include occasional pinching

Your summing up the right role models, yet, not because they are famous. It's kind of a leap to go from parents to cyclists don't you think? FAMOUS rappers, FAMOUS rockstars, FAMOUS cyclists, FAMOUS celebrities .. they aren't getting paid for being a role model, I don't expect them to be either

A coach emphasizing this much on milage for juniors shouldn't be a coach in the first place, clearly doesn't understand training. Parent's are to blame primarily, lacking common sense

Oh Please! Podium girls are exactly used as eye candy, creating this kind of context and being surprised someone harmfully jokes by pinching is NOT irrelevant .. The role model argument is total BS, athletes don't sign up this! What about their liberties? why should they be seen as a role...

I don't see how you can put your head in the sand like that and one day look back on it with no remorse,regret. Actions count and you can't reverse them. Of course you could do it for the money but is that the motivator (capitalisme 101, do whatever it takes)? How can you look yourself in the...

I guess there'll be room for further professionalizing anything really, so also training. But to what extend, when it basically comes down to the talent your born with and the willingness to train that talent to it's maximum potential. Training with power is nothing new, Lemond was one of the...

No, I don't see how you could enjoy "victories", are they? And even if every one else was doing it .. would you enjoy a sport like that? Not me

You alluded on sky having an edge because of revolutionary training I'm saying exactly that talent is the delimiting factor here, the question is where did all this overwhelming talent of the entire sky team come from all of a sudden.
