gree0232 said:Now, put yourself in the shoes of a sports doctor. A guy like Lance comes in and says, "I would like help to get even stronger." You can analyze that patient, already a GT winner, and find way to improve him without ever having to mention doping. A good result is just another Tour win.
A guy like Simeoni comes in and says, "I want to be the greatest rider in Italy!" Given the base, a doctor of questionable ethics may deduce very quickly that only very powerful dope will get this particular dope on a podium any time soon.
It is entirely possible that Ferrari had two very different relationships with two very different athletes.
Incidentally, if you would like to discuss Lance's doping, please go here:

gree0232 said:Yes, yes, I actually like Lance. I understand that I am thus a flawed human being. Honestly, if you don't like it, don't read it. No one is forcing you to be here, but I will remind you that there is a code of conduct on this forum.
BroDeal said:Your ridiculous rationalization of why somone would see Dr. Ferrari is what is stupid. It is out loud laughable. Ferrari is a scumbag through and through. Not just with the professional athletes that pay him to provide doping advice, but he helps others cheat in ways that have nothing to do with doping. In 1999 his daughter was disqualified from a triathlon when she was observed being pushed along on the bike by another rider. The rider doing the pushing turned out to be Dr. Ferrari wearing a fake race number.
Richard Virenque said it best when he said that working with Dr. Ferrari would make it so obvious to everyone that he was doping that it would be like sticking a saucepan up his backside.

Greg Johnson said:Oh dear, you folks have got me in a ban-hunting mood again. Such a shame the blatantly clear descriptions of the different forums doesn't seem sink in.
So, to clear it up: This thread is not in The Clinic and from here on anyone to mention doping, doping practices, imply someone is doping etc. will face a ban from the forum.
This is very simple guys. There's a place to talk about this stuff - if that's your thing, go there and do it.
Cheers

Individual warnings first would seem appropriate.

BroDeal said:Is that Jackhammer111?
BroDeal said:Is this a subtle way of telling us you will bring Jack back and let him hunt us down for disobeying the rules?
Carboncrank said:where does he say that?
Carboncrank said:He was grandstanding.
Lance was not the only one offended by it.
Simeoni got an earful from rider after rider all the way to the back.
Others clearly thanked Lance.
Digger said:It's called Omerta.
BroDeal said:That was posted before seeing your previous message.
You should extend your "dope talk" definition to include saying or implying that athletes must be clean because that causes just as much of the problem as members saying the opposite.

gree0232 said:So, for the record, now we are talking about Simeoni's incident with Lance and how stupid Lance supporters are, apparently the stupidest ever, on a thread about Eki's comments?
Exactly what is the debate?
Eva Maria said:It appears your comprehension skills are limited.
The reason we are talking about Simeoni in a thread about Eki is that when Armstrong chased down Simeoni, Eki was the first to welcome him back to the peloton by spitting on him. Eki has proven that he is more then willing to make a fool of himself when to "Protect" Armstrong when he acts like an A$$. His twitter is yet more evidence of this.
Scott SoCal said:Here we go again with this "inside the peleton" knowledge.
I seem to recall (hopefully my memory is correct) Cipollini being none too happy with Simeoni on that stage too. Would that put him in the great LA conspiracy as well?
Is there any remote possibility that Eki is a reasonable guy who twitted something that he felt to be true or are you so far into your hatred for LA that you have never entertained that possibility?
Feel free to respond without an insult unless that's too much to ask.
Eva Maria said:There were many in the peloton who supported Simeoni. Of course there are reasons why riders would want Simeoni silenced, but we cannot discuss those on this forum.
