speaking out against other dopers is en vogue.
don't let that fool you.
it's the new 'I never tested positive'.

athletes adapt.

so objectively: what are the odds of a clean irish guy winning a 50k race at the worlds against doped athletes?

That's just palpable nonsense.

Omerta works because it protects everybody -don't rat on me, I won't rat on you. Omerta wasn't a bl**dy 'fashion. It was a system, a logical and mutuallly reasserting system.

If you call out dopers, those who dope have absolutely no reason not to call you out back. Thats' no basis for effective doping. Will you get the odd hypocrit? sure; but the idea it's a 'fashion' among dopers is just blind prejudice.

Sometimes, sniper, it's so flaming clear, you WANT there to be doping, it gives you fuel. That's very saddening...

Sniper is in a set default position mode where everyone is doping.

It's the same nonsense he spouted about Dan Martin being a doper after his Tour stage win.

Hi back. What's your point - I said there were always going to be few hypocrites - that clearly covers Lewis. which given he was a grade A *** from the getgo is not news to anybody.

Presumably the point on Radcliffe is her German doctor friend, no? I thought she was quite open about that, Kittel style?

Paula is really hiding her doping here by declaring her association with Muller-Wohlfahrt. Bayern Munich and Germany also do a poor job of hiding their doping having him on the bench. Oh yeah, David Moyes publicly said he was doping Jack Rodwell when he said in a press conference he was sending Rodwell to him to get treated for his persistent injury problems.:rolleyes:

i didn't say he is a doper.
i said i suspect him of being one.
same with the 50k runner.
he may be clean.
i doubt he is.

don't twist my words, gooner.

It's completely irrelevant whether or not I WANT there to be doping.
There is and there's gonna be doping, period. Sorry to ruin your evening there.
If you haven't been living in a cave last coupla years, you must have noticed that a high percentage of people we call "winners" are actually cheats.

What fuels me is cheats and cheating being exposed.
That turns me on, indeed. Which is why I read the Clinic. What's your excuse?

No, it's not. It entirely goes to plausiblity by way of motive.

Where have I said otherwise? Strawman.

If you haven't been living in a cave last coupla years, you must have noticed that a high percentage of people we call "winners" are actually cheats.

What is a high percentage? 100%. 70%. 25% 10%? Meaningless without context and evidence, and typical hyperbolic distraction.

And there's the plausibility fail. You WANT various high profile athletes to be cheats (and I note, gievn your treatment of Kittel re Sayer, you plainly only really care about the high profile, and preferably 'anglo''s being cheats - which rather hints at other motives), basically because you get off on the Schadenfreude.

There is absolutely no ethic in that position. Just parasitical glee.

And yet you then expect your judgement to be taken seriously?

That's not a crusader's position. That's the position of a leech.

Strawman.
your middle name.

and typical hyperbolic distraction
what am I distracting from? the fact that most winners are also cheaters?
wanna deny that? if so, say so.

I'm not a crusader.
more like an anonymous poster on an internet forum.
 
take a chill pill you lot and stop attacking each other unless someone wants a holiday - and we are all only just back from the enforced three week vacation.

Play the ball and not the man....as I'm sure David Moyes is instructing ;)

He uses actoveigin and hemopure on his patients.

He's a done and dusted doping expert who has no qualms cutting corners. His list of clients is a who's who of very iffy and questionable sporting stars.

Sure he's total legit and only prescribes full natty recovery programs. :rolleyes:

You probably thought Wenger was joking too when he said players Arsenal have scouted have very bad blood scores!

i tell mum "use the force luke" i) you need to know the wheelbase and turning circle, then ii) you "use Force" and Yoga will park it for you, or Obi Wan.

Some of the new Mercedes I was looking at apparently can park themselves! WTF! Maybe all those Volvo driving soccer mums will be fine...spend the $$$, car parks itself. They're making it too easy I tell you.

Isn't Heffernan, the guy who won the 50k today, possibly the most gruelling event in athletics, the same guy who spoke out last year. Maybe this discipline is getting cleaner.

The Aussie in bronze. Jarred Talent. He has been very consistent. A few of the Russian's who were dominating, have been removed from the sport for doping. Then it looked cleaner. Not saying it is, but the Aussie guy has been consistently on the podium for years.

It is walking isn't it? How dirty can it be? Oh that's right, Jane Saville, on her way to Gold in Sydney, disqualified coming up to the stadium. Who is her husband when she had career best form? Ask JV...he fired the guy.

Get off the road then. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but given I lived in Bathurst for years, yeah...lots of bad drivers around.

It's simple route learning. You run on autopilot. It's a habit and the neural pahtways have formed long ago from junior racing. Racers know how to do all these things. Reverse parking is the same. Men are actually worse than women in tests. Women hands down beat men at reverse parking for license tests. However, switch the location, conditions and CAR and men can compensate. Studies have shown that womens passing rate goes from 80 something percent down to 20 something. Men's drops a bit, but is still high.

History has always been my forte. I have a really good memory. Driving and parking are second nature. You don't have to think about them, it just happens. Well for me it does. The G-Forces in racing are the hardest part. Most people would physically crack before they mentally cracked racing.

Some people can just do it. It's what they were born to do. Natural affinity. Just like cycling. Some people are naturals on a bike and make it look effortless. Then there are the classless and formless gits, like Froome.

Be fair now, I can reverse park just fine, I'm just concerned about failing it in my driving test because I don't follow the exact technique. :(
