Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

[Granville57]

To be honest if I had been in his situation, I'd have smashed the trophy into a gazillion pieces and sent it directly to Andy with a note saying "here, it looks just like your career".

The fragments of his Tour de France trophy, a purple and gold porcelain bowl, are stored in his ex-wife's garage; [Floyd] said he hurled the prize to the ground in a fury after losing his case against USADA.

I've got news for you: Just because you haven't announced that you are a biased fanboy doesn't make you any less of a biased fanboy. You are a biased fanboy.

So because I bash on Contador, I am automatically an biased Andy fanboy?

On what ground am I a "biased fanboy"?
Please explain.

I've deleted the clinic posts, please keep doping out of the discussion here and in the clinic. Thank you.

I dont belive there were any accusations of doping or any speculations here. Only discussion is whether a person who was doping should keep the trophy.
Anyway, thats the part you get rid of but you keep the ****hole that Florecita and RedRick created here intact?

Even though I normally agree with you guys and that sentence really looks cool, i'mma go disagree. It makes no sense whatsoever. It's like "Just because you havent killed anyone yet doesn't make you any less of a killer. You are a killer".

We're all killers people, lock us all up

The usual suspects are always right, they're protected by the mods. The double standard reigns.

Of course he gets rid of all the clinic stuff you posted. He isn't going to delete their post just because you disagree with them. For their post to be deleted they would have had to discuss clinic stuff, spam, advertising messages, and/or problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

Why would the mod who deleted these posts favor Flo and RedRick? They don't even completely line up when it comes to who they cheer for. You ain't making sense.

Anyways...back to Andy...oh wait he doesn't ride anymore. Thread closed.

Wrong analogy^^

Correct analogy: "just because you haven't been sentenced as a killer/murderer doesn't make you any less of a killer/murderer (in the case that you are indeed a killer/murderer)"

Anyway, I am happy that this is all Andy will ever get. When Contador got banned, he said that he would not regard it as his victory. But once it became clear he'd never get the chance to win the TDF for real, he embraced the "victory" as his own and acted as if he was the one who deserved it most from the start anyway, saying in interviews that he'll never forgive Alberto for what he did to him, he never saw Alberto as a friend, that he is a way better person than Alberto. Well, **** you Andy. You deserve nothing more than someone else's scraps. I only wish Alberto could have pushed that stupid trophy down Andy's throat. I wish Alberto would step up and stop being such a classy human being. He should be more mean, more cruel. He should stop saying nice words about Andy in every interview. He should tell Andy to go screw himself, to walk to hell, he should tell Andy "ha, how does it feel, knowing that I will always be way more successful than you. You're a pathetic cyclist, and a pathetic person. Go cry with your mommy, pathetic whiny crybaby. You're a loser." But he won't.

I for one am delighted that AC continues to behave with grace. Leave the pity-parties and the snide interviews or book comments to others.

I have never much liked Andy S. because he always seemed to have an excuse for not putting in the effort, but I can't really blame him from being pleased to have a trophy and don't think he posted images or whatever to be snide / nasty. Whatever I feel about it, AC had his title officially stripped and it's not wrong for Schleck to accept this or celebrate it, IMO. I can be sympathetic, even if I don't like him much, about how hard it must be to accept how his career turned out after the promise he seemed to have.

I do think Andy did not behave with a great deal of class about the 'I'm a better person' comments. Stating it is almost a perfect demonstration that he wasn't. I do believe I called him a tool at the time for it. But it really doesn't matter any more. His career is over and let's just hope he moves onto something new and excels, because it'd be sad if a limoges porcelain bowl awarded because someone else tested positive was the highlight of his life's achievements. And I"m not being snide - I really mean it. He's so young just to fish the rest of his life away and do interviews.

Whoops, you're right

 

[personal]

I always felt that Andy "winning" that way is the worst thing that happened to him (aside from injuries, obviously).
The Tour was always his greatest goal and his discipline and ambition were diminished when that win was given to him.

 

[nhowson]

everything about this picture is perfect, Alberto in yellow, with the trophy, clearly on the 2010 TDF podium, and Andy looking at the trophy just like fellow bully Lance the year before.

But Lance was way cooler.

That's pretty damn low Florecita. You are enjoying Andy's pain there? That's a "bully". Honestly disgusted by that, worst post I've seen in my short time here, I know you're better than that.

Nope, I'm not better than that. I despise Andy, and I am not afraid to show it. I don't care what you think about that.

I couldn't give 2 ****s at least I'm better than Andy

By the way, is it okay to think the picture of Lance looking at the trophy the same way is a great picture? Or are we "enjoying" Lance's pain then? Seriously, FFS. It's just a picture. And it's a great picture if you don't like Andy. Just like the Lance pic is great if you don't like Lance. Deal with it.

Good suggestion

So what? Then mod those who do that. It's their fault, not the thread. You can't just ban a topic because some can't handle it.
