Wow, all the evidence points towards a likely dirty rider. I just don't understand how a 22 year old can dominate when historically, even on dope cyclists hit their peak 8 years later. Probably a lame comment but it just doesn't look likely he is clean. And yes, the crack looked as fake as fake...

4 lumbar discs I have four herniated discs in my lumbar region. One is totally flattened, degenerative disc disease. road cycling has been the best single therapy for my condition. I manage through pain killers, stretching and working out. Surgery is not on my radar as I would have to have a...

Rate this tour Ive been watching since 98 and this was the one I enjoyed the most, with all the unexpected turn of events. Newer faces rather than the same old generation. an epic attack though much too late. final tt ripping apart the plan of the schlecks who I do admire. And no LANCE talk...

Every time an athlete accomplishes something, he instantly gets beat down on forums. If any of the GC riders had won, we would see a rush of hate at them. Happens on the other sport I follow real bad. Cadel used his brain against the climbing prowess of the schlecks. gutted them in the TT...

well it appears my cycling history needs some work. At least you guys arent as big of A holes as some other forums. ;)

Thats a good point. It was obvious that they were more interested in keeping contador at bay in the mountains than watching Cadel eek his way up. Like I said, I love watching the schlecks in the mountains but Cadel won this race and some of it singlehandedly.

OK, maybe I didnt brush up on my haters list on levi. my bad. I just think there are people we dont see and hear that feel the same way. Andy is in the camera everyday and was probably rattled by the death. I do agree with you guys on Andy not losing it in the TT alone. He played it safe in the...

taking the **** out of the schlecks isnt worth the breath. Last year leipheimer complained about the descents too. where is all the vindictive hatred and pussification of Levi? About 5 people get interviewed on American TV during the whole tour. I reckon there are alot of others in the peleton...

aahhh I knew he didnt have the firepower in the TOC when the camera showed him shaking his head on that last climb. He should have been hammering horner and levi, not necessarily outclassing them but hammering him. Makes you wonder if the TOC is adequate preperation for the TDF. maybe he should...

I was chastised on another thread for calling grewal's olympic win a blood doping case. What is the deal ?

In terms of head trauma, boxing is certainly the most brutal and certainly people dont realize how Dangerous a 12 round championship fight is. Getting hit in the head for basically an hour is a potential suicidal mission. Again, breaking it down further, muay thai vs boxing is kind of an apples...

I have competed in boxing , Muay Thai or Thai boxing, and mma. I coached a high level athlete in mma as well, 2x UFC and fought 9 time overseas etc. Boxing is one dimensional and is very brutal to the head because of the length of the fight and basically hitting till someone goes down or the...

Ive done and do both. Apples and oranges

I boxed for 13 years. Its a whole different sport and the physical characteristics are different than cycling. I think some of the toughness that it takes to box has helped me with cycling. Mental toughness but the physicality is just different. try getting punched in the gut and head every lap...

BTW, on thursday still feeling down, I went to the gym where they have a pretty good exercise bike you can fit to almost your own bike and power meter, rpm, etc. My numbers were good. I just cranked it up for an hour and Im actually doing better than I was this time last year, so I think the...
