Cyclist Mark Cavendish had an angry outburst today after being repeatedly asked his opinion about Lance Armstrong's 'doping confession' at an event in Ghent, Belgium.

“Can you get him away please. Please get this guy away. He just wants to talk about Lance, **** off.

I wouldn't say he's protecting him, but he probably doesn't want to have to "equate" or "distance" anything done at USPS/Discovery to what SKY did last year.:D...

Initially he addressed two questions posed, saying: "There's been reports that he's confessed to doping but I haven't seen any interviews yet, so until then I can't really comment".
So he answered the question but people kept on asking him the same thing hence getting p!ssed off. Hog spinning it as Cav protecting Armstrong. Usual Hog garbage.

Hi whole thing is always "you guys in the media talk about doping all the time, why don't you focus on me and my achievements"....

he may have a point, but sadly a lot of people are interested in it at the moment, so of course the media are going to ask questions.

I dont know if I would get annoyed if I was one of the best sprinters ever, and the first question is "Hi there, any comments on lance" day after day after day.

Where has he been, and what sport does he think he is in?

This kind of outburst minimally plants confirming seeds of doubt in people's minds about his own PED abuse.

If you or I are fed up that's ok, but a cyclist is fed up he's doping & protecting Lance

Mate, get your had off it...if I was him, I'd be fed up too
 
Cant this thread be locked for trolling?

Maybe some of what Cav said would fit into some thread somewhere. But the OP chose to create a thread to sell this non story as "breaking news" that cav is protecting lance. Which is clearly not the case. So its trolling no?

Frodo's apparent hypocrisy when it comes to dopers and condemning some, while refusing to condemn others is however, worth discussing no?

Not under this title no. I remember there were threads where people asked questions about why Cav was ok with Pettachi doping and not Ricco for example.

But all this thread does is grab peoples attention by promising breaking news and some major faux pas from Cav, and it turns out to be based on this bull****

If you want to discuss that then why not put it in it's own thread and not one that is, at best, misleading and more likely just a troll attempt.
