Clinic Bibliography

[Merckx index]

101. White lunch box. Complete on the road doping package.
102. Tugboat. Tyler’s inspirational dog.
103. Cancer shield. Use of a charity to deflect doping allegations, as in “I’ve done too much good for too many people”.
104. Waste of taxpayers' money. Any publicly funded anti-doping institution.
105. It didn't start with Lance. Two wrongs make a right.
106. A millionth of a gram is not performance enhancing. Contador never doped with clenbuterol.
107. Extraterrestrial. See Alien.
108. Edgar Alan Poe. EPO.
109. Line in the sand. Ridiculing the notion that there is any limit to undoped power.
110. Transparency. Organizing a bike team so that there is nothing to see, let's move on.

 

[MacRoadie]

88: BPC - Acronym for our most notorious troll (actual troll, not just someone who disagrees with people), initially formed from (I think) British Pro Cycling. Later morphed into Ban Pro Cycling and probably 50 other forms of sock-puppetry. Staggering stamina for a troll. All time.

Staggering to the point of eliciting reluctant admiration from those of us witness to the Herculean effort....

 

[D-Queued]

53. This is my first time posting followed by detailed descriptions of specific posting histories of all of the people who regularly post. This phrase is proof positive you have a sockpuppet account for a previously banned username.

110. I have been lurking here for a while - noobiest newb.

111. Witch Hunt - Bwah ha ha! See also Tranquillo = I am guilty as sin.

Dave.

112. UCI = Under Chemical Influence.

Dave.

 

[Archibald]

113 Never tested positive - phrase uttered by many riders when claiming their innocence, while in reality is effectively saying "I doped my ar$e off, but just never got caught".
Red rag to a bull for any Clinic member upon hearing such a statement from a rider as a sure sign of doping. Similarly used sarcastically when referring to a doper who has not had an official sanction (yet).

114. I've been tested xxx times - 1. I failed math. 2. Pretending to have facts that are, in fact, irrelevant, all the while actually presenting a wild distortion. 3. A number that will continue to inflate faster than a software memory leak, without any rational explanation, every time it is cited.

Dave.

 

[D-Queued]

Do you really think that phrase was coined here? Some of you need to leave the forum once in a while. There's a whole world out there.

This is all about Forum context.

Hookers and Blow == (i.e. is defined as on this Forum) The alleged activities of Lance and friends allegedly at the Yellow Rose.

Dave.

 

[Archibald]

115. "Most Tested Athlete in History" - see 114 - blatant claim of mistruth by that well known nemisis of the Clinic.

 

[red_flanders]

116: Frank Vandenbrouke's Dog - Most notoriusly doped canine of all time, and best ever excuse for why someone had vials of EPO, Clen and morphine in their car and home.

 

[sittingbison]

Lol someone actually made this sticky without changing the title to glossary.

I bring to your attention posts 2 and 3:

Think you meant Glossary

$hit, I did too. but it works better with the malapropism. malapropisms are underrated.

cheers

Hookers and Blow == (i.e. is defined as on this Forum) The alleged activities of Lance and friends allegedly at the Yellow Rose.

It means the exact same thing outside the forum.

 

[TailWindHome]

117 "That's what Lance did/said" - proof of doping
118 "Obvious" - no need for evidence when you know
119 "Evidence" - see 117 unless it isn't in which case refer to 118

 

[the sceptic]

It means the exact same thing outside the forum.

117: the clinic is irrelevant and no one cares about the losers who post there - line used by defenders of obvious dopers when they get upset at people who call out their dopers. Forgetting that they spend every day reading the clinic themselves.

 

[Bumeington]

118. September 5th The date that Manchester United announced their signing of Bradley Wiggins

before someone stepped on Cuddles's dog like Mrs John Murphy

 

[blackcat]

119. Cuddles.

said Cadel Evans. much in the vain or vein of Australian Statesman Kevin whom uttered words immortal after stepping down off RAF Airforce One, and Rupert's attack dogs going troppo over him because he had the old honey pot doing private lap dances at the Manhattan Spearmint Rhino "I am looking forward to a cup of tea and hugs with Therese", ergo, Kevvie liked cuddles too.

 

[blackcat]

96. New clean era riders beating "dirty era" times - used as an argument proving the peloton is as doped as ever (also Brailsford's prediction that should somehow support his statements about the use of science, marginal gains, wormkilling, pillows and handwashing in SKY team)

97. Masters fattie doper - tons of evidence in granfondo doping related threads suggests how easy it is to get and use PEDs and also avoid being caught even if you are riding just for fun (with obvious implications towards pro peloton)

100something. rounding errors
aka DQ's epigram, marginal gains aint a rounding error or on comprehensive doping program like Schumi devises.

have we had motoman yet?

[blackcat]

35. Motoman - secret bloodbag delivery during Grand Tours (moto with special cooled cases, used by Lance Armstrong's USPS)

36. Vino option - special option in Clinic polls (usually last one), meant to be extraordinary, not necessarily connected to Alexandre Vinokourov

[blackcat]

122. Fuentes Client

List of riders and other sportsmen who visited Dr Fuentes

The list includes a ryder spotted by Tyler who was later accused of having a motor in his bike, a rider who claimed he only thought about using blood bags, and a Luxembourg rider who paid him money for "training plans".

123. Mechanical doping

See 122

124 - "History"

If it hasn't happened before it can never happen - see also moon landing conspiracy.

If it happened before it is happening again - nothing ever changes man

125 -"Evolution" - the change in biological traits of populations over generations often confused with "progress" - the development of an individual or society in a direction superior to the previous level.
