Explosive revelations include:
Thomas is a better GT rider than he used to be
Sky have a strong team
The French fans boo

And he mixes Marvel & DC, which is sort of unforgivable

Jeysus thats awful. Why would you have him on your show he has absolutly 0 skills on front of a camera

 

[fmk_RoI]

That's a Youtube channel, no, not TV?

Its a radio show actually. And 1 I thought would be better than having some unqualified nobody doing its tour reports. But I haven't listened to Irish radio in years so I could be wrong about that shows credibility

Who are "they"?

The purveyors of cultural stereotypes? Is it their names and addresses you'll be after or will you be happy with just their phone numbers?

Digger's never struck me as Supes. Or even Hulk. He's always seemed more like Batman's foes. From the Adam West era. Comic and incapable, but still full of himself. The place round here isn't the same without him. Thank God.

And the Rubberbandits did the whole mask thing so much better...but then most of Digger's best ideas are borrowed from others...

What makes Irishmen tick? I dunno they're just thick.
The fact that the best English writers are Irish negates the stereotype (that you fondly reminded us of).

Is that meant to be an attempt at humour over the way Irish people pronounce "th"? Go you and your cultural stereotypes!

As an Irishman who lived in England for a little while in the 80s, you might be able to imagine that I find the stereotype offensive

So why perpetuate such stereotypes with that ill-considered and frankly racist joke, as well as that clichéd stereotype of a nation of literary geniuses?

It was a comeback to your racist post but the irony was lost on you

Ah, irony. The last defence of the scoundrel. Maith an fear!

Post not poster. Goodnight, Wise One.

 

[MartinGT]

A lot of what Digger writes though is pretty bang on.

@fmk_RoI I noticed your reaction to my post.

Do you not think some of what Digger posts has been correct?

I do not fully agree with some of his theories or even some of the way's he forces his point across.

Or do you think him and his 'tin foil hat' followers are just lucky at some of the stuff they have thrown?

I've not seen much apart from apparently Freeman downloaded drug information? I didn't even know it was on until this morning!

The laptop searches...low T in endurance athletes etc?

In the context of this whole saga that’s a pretty tough one for him to explain and reconcile with the rest of his testimony

Is it? Would it not just relate to him checking up on why Sutton might be demanding he provide it and if the reason was legitimate?

It's actually not. There are legit ways of boosting T.

Do you mean this:
Testosterone research found on Freeman's laptop, tribunal told | Cyclingnews ?
I was wondering how they found that research if the laptop is famously lost?
Perhaps they got his search history from Google.
Or was it another laptop.

 

[fmk_RoI]

Or was it another laptop.

Gosh. I never considered that.

You think a Doctor (a sports Doctor at that) would really need to be searching online to research legitimate uses for Testogel?

I don't really know the specifics of the search, or the timing of it....my point is that in the context of what he's actually being charged with ie. ordering synthetic testosterone knowing it was likely to be used by an Athlete, then when you add recorded searches relating to endurance athletes and testosterone levels then it looks highly suspicious.

But of course timing and specifics is important.....if he was searching such things earlier in his career, specifically referring to natural levels and treatments then it could be entirely innocent. If the searches were just weeks before the order was placed and he's searching topics related to synthetic testosterone then it looks entirely different.

Would be interested to hear more specifics of what they actually found on the laptop....
