2008 Dylan Casey answer to doping @ Bike To Work Day

[Maxiton]

Isn't that scumbag a google employee? If so, he may very well be behind the google sabotage of Bikezilla's blog.

Bingo. This guy is LA's ringer inside google. I doubt his activities on behalf of Armstrong inside google will ever be known, but I'll bet they are very interesting.

 

[proffate]

he left Google in December 2011. I doubt Google could care any less about Lance Armstrong, cycling or sport in general.

Dylan is rider #18

Sorry if I'm naive, but how do we know DC was rider 18?

Yes you are a bit naive.
if you do your homework first, then you can ask direct questions.

I posted a direct reference answering your question already.
your turn.

 

[TrackCynic]

GuidoG - sorry for offending you with my obvious stupidity; I hope your curt and impolite response is due to English being your 2nd language and not just being a smarta$$. In you post you said he is mentioned in CVV affidavit - but it only states "Rider 18" in the document - it doesn't mention DC by name (at least not in the PDF I've read).

 

[Dear Wiggo]

The drug problem is with less than 2% of the riders. That's the UCI party line on anti-doping. This guy has ambitions, so it's all a big conspiracy.

Nepotism is the best way forward at USAC. If the stars align and one of the Juniors (and the parent's money) lasts long enough the familiarity pays off. The kid might make more than a low-end barista at the sport.

More Dylan Casey nepotism fun, http://velonews.competitor.com/2011...nebens-appeal-usacs-steve-johnson-says_192531 Comments are much better than the sham article.

Curious that there are now no comments on that story...

 

[ExRower]

he is rider #18.
CVV mentions him page 15 & 16 of his affadavit.
was using EPO and Testosterone
Got sick with CVV.
They suspected cause their EPO got warm.

Used to follow LA around like a lapdog.

kisses a lot of LA *** online nowadays.
I would classify him as a fanboi, that dylan casey.

TrackCyninc,

My apologies. Your right.
I am a smart a$$ though
was letting my disgust on this topic react.
I thought direct link was posted or is in this thread. Must be another one.
trying to find it now.

99.5% positive #18 is Dylan though.

 

[TrackCynic]

No problem - I think we're all trying to handle this cr@p, disappointment and frustration in different ways.

forgot about this thread,

Dylan, dude you are a serious tosser here lad

BTW, take a look at Specialized Masters team for 2012: http://www.teamspecializedracing.com/members.php

Here's some of the team:

T. Weisel - Tailwind, USPS, USAC
W. Weisel - Son and heir
Dylan Casey - USPS
Matt Barger - worked at Hellman & Friedman, treasurer at USAC
Marco Hellman - worked at Hellman & Friedman, trustee at USAC
Kenny Carpenter - ex-Pro, famously missed drug test in San diego, worked for Weisel
Mike McCarthy - ex-pro, worked for Weisel
Chris Lyman - Lyman PR (Hincapie Sports happens to be a client)

I'm sure there are some clean guys on that team too, but why would they want to be in this illustrious company?

They also have a junior team. God help us. Maybe Eddie B will "help"?

Tin pot dictator wins the contest he owns, "Team Specialized Racing, USA Cycling’s 2011 Division III “Overall Team of the Year”" http://www.teamspecializedracing.com/

The federation is the political equivalent of Kim Il Jung's North Korea. I don't know why you USAC members put up with this.

Thom's done Eddie B's doping so much better. Thom has been allegedly setting up doping programs going, way WAAAAAYYYY back to some national level teams he sponsored. Oh, yeah and then there's the whole USPS doping program.

The ride data from Strava is available for some of those juniors and it doesn't look good. I won't post links because this is kids we're talking about. Most will have logged countless hours, parents invested 10's of thousands of dollars to USACDF, and then be spit out of the system with some trophies and that's all.

Hopefully they will have had enough parental guidance and no doping so they can transition out of competitive cycling into a healthier life. If Thom's involved, I have my doubts.

 

[TrackCynic]

DW, without naming names, what type of stuff do you see in the Strava data that is worrying?

16 year old kids putting in Elite-level hours/KM's. If in the VERY rare circumstances it all works out such that the athlete reaches elite level, what does the athlete have to look forward to in elite-level UCI cycling? Doping and widespread sports fraud run by the owner of USA cycling and the UCI.

Don't get me wrong, maybe the kid is self-directed when it comes to competitive cycling. And, let's face it, doing well racing inspires that. The success is a good thing to have at a young age.

Bottom line: competitive cycling beyond local racing/personal gratification is a dead end and the kids apparently don't see that and neither do their parents. you can't blame the kid in this scenario. The parents must live under rocks annually pouring 10's of thousands of extra dollars into such a dead-end sport.

 

[TrackCynic]

I see what you mean. THe big problem I have with "development" teams like this is it seems to me a way for parents to get glorification via their kids. This isn't unique to cycling though, esp here in the US where sports coaching from an early age is taken far too seriously and burn out often occurs.

What we should be teaching these kids is how to enjoy racing and riding bikes, find new friends, and learn how to win/lose graciously and get some social life out of it, too. IF you're real good then think about taking it seriously when you're 18/19/20, not 14 or 15. This kind of team smacks of "how to kill off the opposition just like Lance and Dylan did."

You'll find the purpose of the IOC-funded sports federations is not participation, but development for the Olympics show. That's true internationally. As contrast, look at the participation rates OBRA has compared to USAC.

Thom's a smart guy. He knows there's plenty of money to be made selling training camps and international trips to parents whose kids will either burn out or leave injured. I just hope the USAC staff isn't doping the kids again. Given Thom's history, there's reason for concern.

Most of the money generated inside USA Cycling goes to meet the goal of personally enriching Wiesel and Co. USAC members seem not to mind this at all.

 

[Athame]

Guy is a Dou$&E.
He used to get his EPO from Gaggioli.
it was the Nor Cal connection which Levi was also involved in.

_____________ would love to read more. can you or anyone else elaborate?
