Basso suggests Sky doping? Likens them to Armstrong/USPS

[richtea]

Will be very interesting to see the response to that.

Cheque. Thought you were a 'town and gown'?

Check in the US. Thank-you very much.

Besides 'cheque' is a written document as tender not the bill. The bill is a check and its check is a cheque in the US.

How's them apples?

Definitely not town and gown then?

One is not both. One is either a "townie" or a "gownie". Hard to be "town and gown" unless your born and bred in Cambridge and attended the University and lived at one of the colleges.

Very rare.

I think you might not really know what you're talking about.

 

[richtea]

I apologise, I grew accustomed to the more cosmopolitan atmosphere of the capital. And your good self?

Which means you're from Blackpool but claim yourself as a Londoner because you're ashamed of where you grew up?

 

[richtea]

If you like. Why Blackpool? Some emotional attachment?

Well, one seems to claim to be both here

Also, it's surprising that someone brought up in Britain does not know the slang meaning of gutted.

Why Sir, are you stalking me?

Cambridge ie comprises of both town and gown.

Meaning is the area of Cambridge you live in. Jesus Green which comprises of Townie's and the Gown from the Institution.

Golly Gee! This the Sky thread. Not the p1ss on the Hog thread.

btw I wasn't born in the UK. So I'm not British by decent.

Mods - Can we close these guys down? I'm not sure what they are hoping to achieve.

Can't we just discuss Sky and the Clinic?

Back on topic please. Thanks.

A bit touchy there aren't you? You are the one that claimed to be both and then said 'one is not both'. Seemed inconsistent to me. TheHog telling porkies... surely not?

Oh, and you are the one that is bringing this up in the Sky threads not me. Back to the topic at hand...

 

[thehog]

The more hate I get the more that I know I'm right about Sky.

I like a good debate but I won't be silenced by personal attacks.

Period.

I am not sure anyone hates you. More bemused by the stuff you make up.

And, personal attacks? Don't be a drama queen. I pointed out inconsistencies in your posts. Don't make them and I won't point them out.

But you're wrong my dear. It was Jimmy who thought they were one of the same not I.

Besides this is not about me. Why attack me? This is the Sky thread not the pile poo on the Hog thread, got it?

Shape up son.

Back to Sky and Basso calling them out for doping....

You should reread your posts.

Basso seems to be saying that they are going fast enough to limit attacks. Not going too fast and not too slow.

This is not about me. You need to talk to Ivan or Sky. Tell Sky to dial back to clean speeds.

If Ivan Basso and the entire peloton can't keep up with Little Richie Porte and Micky Rogers then the sport is in dire trouble.

Period.

Sky made a joke of cycling and Ivan called it out. In his own words all he could do was "laugh".

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

This is not about me.

Yet, you always try to make it that way.
And, why so angry Hog?

Sky made a joke of cycling and Ivan called it out.

He should watch Basso 2006 if he things Sky was a joke. Still it was only attempted doping.

I would have more faith in his words if he had admitted to his doping like Landis.

Again, this is not about me. You need to discuss the issues of Sky and doping.

Lance playbook deployed: "Basso bitter ex-doper with no credibility, can't be trusted, we like our credibility, we like it a lot"

Surely we can do better than that? Can't we?

Basso has seen it all. Are you suggesting we ignore his words? Take Sky on face value? After all we learned with the Armstrong affair?

It can't happen. Won't happen. Don't let it happen Pedro.

The difference is that Landis (and Hamilton) admitted to everything unlike Basso. Big difference.

But what's Landis and Hamilton got to do with what Basso thinks about Sky?

I'll have to check the footage but I'm fairly sure neither Floyd or Tyler were in the race.

Basso was and he was passing on his thoughts. Should we not believe him? Because the race I saw no one could attack because of Sky's brutal speeds. And that lines up 100% with what Basso said.

Surely you're not telling me that Basso was mistaken?

I didn't believe what I saw and neither does Ivan and he was in the race!

Basso also said

They are doing their work to make sure that those two [Wiggins+Froome I assume] are protected, nether too fast nor too slow.

 

[thehog]

Basso also said

But I thought Basso couldn't be trusted because he only half confessed?

But now he's cool again?

Make up your mind.

You just change the story to fit the Sky is not doping narrative.

Have it anyway you like. It obvious you'll just make things up to fit your side of the story.

It's cool with me. Sky are clean. I won't burst your bubble. But at least be honest with yourself.
