Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Netserk]

that's a rather childish way to look at things . . .

also don't head it the doping talk way

Although when you see the list of his wins in 2012, it lists the stages in San Luis

Really? Tbh I would feel pretty ****ed off if my team wasn't on my side.

 

[Parrulo]

this isn't school. . . there are no sides.

the legal means made a decision and the team as an independent entity backed up by sponsors that expect their investment to get them good publicity must respect the law (like it or not) and not act like a 16 year old teenager that didn't get an iphone for christmas.

contador knows this and i highly doubt he is bothered by it. if he is then he is an idiot.

Long arm of the UCI!!! either way we KNOW how many GT's should be there

I think he is. Actually I'm sure he is. I do not see how that makes him an idiot though I can't even get over the fact that he lost his wins, can you imagine how he must feel?

 

[Parrulo]

did contador tell you all that over some sweet pillow talk? is he really bothered about his team site not listing the wins that got taken away from him? is he really bothered that his team decided to avoid any more conflict that could cause so their riders had the ideal preparation for the next season? is he really bothered about that little specific detail which is what i am talking about? if so then he is an idiot.

Yea of course it just bothers me that saxo have no problem with making Alberto look like a total idiot

"I won those races fairly so I still see them as mine"

"He didn't win those races so let's delete them from our site"

Be nice Parrulo

 

[Parrulo]

meh the first part was in jest as there is no way LaFlo can be sure about something so trivial that i bet even contador himself didn't notice and the rest is the pure truth

If you can't understand the most simple human psychology then you're the ... not so smart person here Any normal person who has trouble accepting something will be bothered by people who do accept it.

Indeed he probably didn't notice it.

Explain to me please why he does still list those wins on his own site if it doesn't bother him?

because his own website is his own responsibility and isn't backed up companies that pay millions to get good publicity with as little scandal as possible?

i may not know much about psychology but you clearly know nothing about economy.

saxo bank as a sponsor has already suffered enough with contador's scandal, creating any more controversy whatsoever putting in cause the credibility of the legal system, which is what you are doing when you defy it's decisions, over something as trivial as a palmares list on the team site is beyond idiotic.

 

[airstream]

I don't if you're being sarcastic.

Anyway she knows that, she just doesn't comprehend why it's not listed on the site since Contador still consider to have won 7.

It does not damage anyone to read this information for consideration again and again

Do you really think "important" people check the riders section of a team website? And by the way if they hadn't changed it it would have just looked like they didn't bother to change it or forgot about it, nothing serious.

And yes I don't know anything about economics.

 

[peloton]

Pointless to argue about it, really. We know he's won 7 GT's, but on the official record it's 5.

Pretty simple.

 

[Fidolix]

It's ridiculous, they should be on Alberto's side

It´s pretty plain forward and logic, his team who is under the laws and rules of the UCI have to follow the ruling of his ban, stipped of his wins for 2 years, ofc they cant list them as his when CAS ruling says otherwise, whatever he consider its his, is not the issue here, the official site of the team have to give the official palmeras.

And yes, to be honest, you do act like a 12 year old school girl.

Thats bs nobody cares about the riders section on the official team website, they don't even have to give a palmares. And why haven't they removed the results of san luis? And why do they still have pictures of him winning the giro?

I don't care what I'm acting like, it's ridiculous that the team and sponsors are not supporting Alberto and if I were him I'd seriously consider leaving. Yes they supported him the whole time during the process and the ban but now that he's back on their team they drop him like a stone. Rather ironic.

 

[The Blues]

Don't you think you might be exaggerating just a little bit? Drop him like a stone and consider leaving because of something they didn't put on his palmares (which they should not, since he is no longer the winner of those races) on their website? Maybe the support and help they have given him through his suspension should weigh a little more than this, no?

Sorry to say but this is utter nonsense. For once I have to agree with Airstream. Ofc they cant list wins which he was stripped on by the UCI. If anything they team are sloppy by not having cleaned up the San Luis results. However, they shouldnt have to remove any pictures. And it has absolutely nothing to do with them no supporting him.

I think I rest my case!

always took you for being stupid, thanks for the confirmation.

 

[Carols]

LaFlo it's time to accept the world as it is......yes he won on the road but those wins are no longer 'official' results. Saxo cannot put them as wins on their site.

Albert has plenty of support from Saxo and it is a great home for him

 

[LaFlorecita]

Don't you think you might be exaggerating just a little bit?

No.

Drop him like a stone and consider leaving because of something they didn't put on his palmares (which they should not, since he is no longer the winner of those races) on their website?

Wrong. It's not that they didn't put it on his palmares, they removed it. There is a significant difference.

Maybe the support and help they have given him through his suspension should weigh a little more than this, no?

What support, I ask myself and what is it worth when apparently it was all fake

Where the **** am I talking to airstream
