Re: Re:
That's not omerta, it's a dose of reality. Nobody can satisfy the bloodthirsty anti-dope crusader and this sport needs money. The budgets of these teams are small by comparison to other pro sports and they don't have unlimited resources to be dealing with a bunch of people who can't take yes for an answer. Loose big sponsors and there aren't always others to pop up and take their place.
Some people will dope. Some won't. I'd bet a lot of people on this board wouldn't be as righteous in action as they are at their keyboards. I'm just pointing out the irony that people are constantly asking for more info, and when it's provided, it's just not good enough. It likely never will be.
Fearless Greg Lemond said:How is that slice of Pizza Omerta tasting for you?chuckmicD said:Escarabajo said:6.1 w/kg for 25 minutes for a world class athlete is perfectly OK. But it does not mean that he is not doping either. So what did we learn today? nothing.
We learned plenty. Namely that there is no satisfying people who wish to remain skeptical and distrustful at all costs. We also learned that many people on this message board just want a target on which to practice, the truth being largely irrelevant. I just hope people stop hounding riders for not releasing data but won't be holding my breath.
What matters is not testing positive and keeping $$$ in this sport. Without sponsors...pro cycling is dead.
Re- Pinot in Suisse, wasnt there a tailwind - not bs'ing - reported?
