You're all f***ed now, the Brits are gradually gaining total power over all sports including the testings and from now on no-one else will win anything

testers will pour forth from that great island of britain

and rid the world of the foreign scourge of doping
 
Why not dope ?

well whats wrong with 'if you cant beat'em join'em' ??

Why should Contador, Nibali, Valverde take all the races ? doped to the gills - maybe Brailsford was sick of the Italians and Spaniards walking all over the system.

Wiggins and now Froome and Porte making a mockery of the racing but the alternative is to sit back and watch Contador and Valverde romp home.

I think I would rather see our guys up there than the other dirty gits.

The only argument I see is 'yeh but we shouldn't lower ourselves to their standards' but that has got us nowhere over the past decade.

Or - yeh but Brailsford said it would be a clean win - yeh well Brailsford may have had to state that to get sponsorship.

The reason people cheered for the Southern Europeans is they have panache. Style. Class. They make riding look good.

Contrast with Froome's Praying Mantis style of strangling his bike trying to rip it's head off. If you're going to dope and win, at least make it look good. Sky can't even do that. :p

The funny thing is with sports in Britain, half the doped to the gills winners are Plastic Brits. Not even from that tiny land mass. People acquired because the UK couldn't even grow their own. I don't know what is sadder, the hatred against the Southern Europeans bordering on full blown racism, the unmitigated sport wide British assault to victory through doping, the lack of flair, class and panache or handing Johnny Foreigner a passport and saying he's your own? Maybe a combination of them all?

Powerpoint presentations with some milk and cookies work wonders on those fat cats at the UCI and the ASO.

Perhaps they showed a highlight reel of the Sky team doing the cancan? That might have tickled Prudhomme's fancy no?

So let's get this straight.

If southern European athletes dope it is fine as they win with flair.

If anyone British is successful it is because they are a dirty, cheating doper, even when you cannot produce a shred of evidence that they dope.

Not quite sure about your logic but keep on believing it if you want to.

No Bernie, it was a select mob from your homeland who were calling people filthy dirty dopers simply because they were Spanish or Italian. Take oldcrank winding up on Contador today. Or FoxyBrown (okay German, but they are the last mob who can moan and b1tch)...borderline racism. Simply disliking the Southern Europeans because they are Southern Europeans.

But try and twist it around and deflect the reality of who has done what. If Sky are clean, why are there so many threads? Why are all their good riders, the big winners, guys with extraordinary transformations who use to get pounded on by these Southern Europeans (who I will add, nobody defends or makes a case they aren't doping) now beating these caught and assumed dopers? Why is it only Sky?

My bad...another coincidence.

And as for Brits doping I made it clear. Try and make it look good...oh wait, that ain't gonna happen. Thanks for the boring USPS train style of racing and riding and the worst riding style known to humanity personified in Chris Froome. Thanks for your contribution to cycling! It's all good as long as the Union Jack gets waved!

So it's racist for someone to have a go at Contador, a proven drug cheat? Sorry but that makes no sense at all. I'm afraid all this nonsense about Brits being racist about southern Europeans is all in your head, the fact that you have to refer to a German poster sums your argument up. However, you do seem to hate Brits with a passion.

think we have a problem with Sky and Brailsford doping the HQ of Amaury Sporting Organisation, so they get the perfect race route for Sir Wigan.


by all means, dope your riders, just dont dope the ASO hq and rig the race route
 
Clean gets you nowhere

the Brits have sat back for ions with their pleasant manners and 'no its ok you go first' attitude.

All of a sudden they get someone behind them (probably Rupert Murdoch & co) and they start winning everything.

Well the Italians have had their Ferrari and Conconi....the Spaniards have had their Del Fuente, Belgians, Dutch and Germans don't need naming. So why shouldn't Britain get on the doping program. ??

Should Mo Farrah sit back and let the Ethiopians and Kenyans take the races ? Its like tennis - why should Murray sit back nice and clean and let Nadal and Djoko take the titles ?

I,m not condoning it but these countries are only now being caught and its not deterring them in any way. Its a shame because Britain had its dignity in tact...but its 2013 and times are a changing.
