BroDeal making waves

'Recently, a colleague alerted me to a post on the Cyclingnews.com forum, ominously entitled: “Graham Watson: Keeper of Omerta”.

On October 21, the forum member who started the post, BroDeal, then wrote: “Snarfed this from a post on Bike Radar. It is from the Q&A portion of Watson's website.” '

terribly written piece

Uses typical "Clean teams like Garmin-Transfusions and HGH-Columbia" phrase and there goes one's credibility.

Yeah, it's always the Anglosaxon teams that are unquestionably clean... even the one originating from T-Mobile.

uhuh.
The next unquestionable clean team is pegasus.
--I seriously doubt that some people could even grasp the idea of this australian team ever having a positive.

So... what's his point really?

Strange that you claim "I don’t normally read forums of any kind" yet decide to write an entire article on a single thread on a single forum, singling out a single poster "BroDeal" for 2 threads he posted.

If you frequented the CN forum, which I suggest you should do, you would realize that that the reason the "Flandis letter, links" thread "supercedes" the Graham Watson thread is because it is a "Sticky". If you would sort the threads by views/replies, you would have seen that these are not the top 2 threads on the CN site.

Further, if would have searched for threads started by BroDeal, you would have realised that these are not the only 2 threads he has ever started. He has also started threads such as "Classic Racing Pics", many of which contain examples of Graham Watson's photography.

The fact is, and the reason for BroDeal's thread, that the Omerta is NOT "lifting". Several experts have stated that the Biological Passport actually facilitates doping (also extensively covered in the CN "Clinic"). The president of the UCI covered up Contador's recent public drug test for 2 months until Contador himself revealed it. Graham Watson's reply to "Eric G" (not BroDeal btw) indicated frustration that LeMond is so outspoken about doping in cycling. If that doesn't justify the thread title that BroDeal used, then I don't know what does!

I remember during the Giro, at the start of the Landis thing, Harmonn made a comment about anyone wanting to see some list, should go on cycling news forums and read a thread by some poster. I cant remember which poster he mentioned. Was it Bro deal too?

An 8 year old could of written a better article.

I was also dumbfounded by the author's inability to realise there are plenty more threads on latter pages, lots with considerably more views.

Maybe, I don't think so. I remember Harmon saying it, and at the time that thread was most definitely the best place for info on the Landis allegations.

ACF; test this theory

it really is just dribble he wrote.

You should not critize an article while making a mistake

(just some good-natured ribbing, please don't take me seriously)

I wish I could take back the two minutes of my life spent reading that piece. What a waste of bandwidth.

Hah it's unlikely they post this. Allthough it would be good if they did.

 

[Anonymous]

Maybe someone should point him in the direction of the babes on bikes thread

 

[auscyclefan94]

Too funny!!!! I am struggling to get over that BroDeal and the infamous CN Forum has a whole article based aroound it. Anthony must read the forum a fair bit to be looking through posts in big threads.

Touché....

Cool. Now I just have to parlay this newfound notoriety into wealth and power.

In this country, you gotta get the notoriety first. Then when you get the notoriety, you make the money. When you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

Your a bachelor Brodeal? You are only famous amongst cycling forum and australian cycling blog circles! Don't get too ahead of yourself though I am jealous!

For the simple reason of time, or more precisely a lack of it, I don’t normally read forums of any kind but when I do, it’s usually done to gauge public sentiment on a topical issue.

Well, that blogger is definitely looking for love in all the wrong places.
