After all,you don't actually know anything,it's all suspicion and supposition.
If anyone from sky get's caught for doping then fair play,jump all over them.I'll be there with you.But until then all this endless,hate filled rhetoric seems a bit pointless to me.Save your energy for riding your bikes,enjoy the scenery and don't take things so seriously!
That's my ten bobs worth

rata de sentina said:So you make a broad sweeping generalisation, someone calls you on it and that's the best you can do?
That's a circular argument. Any non-Sky examples?darwin553 said:Ok I'll give you one just to keep you all happy, well no I'll give you a hint. It is right in front of you.

darwin553 said:Oh wait he did a test for Ferrari so that tarnishes him, right? Lol.

darwin553 said:You don't rate Cadel?
darwin553 said:Bingo. I'll fedex your prize.
Franklin said:Hey Darwin, Not to be terribly rude, but it would help if you actually tried to learn about cyclings history.
Hint: Check Cadels teams and their history.
Hint2. Check the managers Cadel has.
In other words: your claiming that Cadel is clean shows that your judgment of cycling is pathetically naive and more than likely wrong.
(and if you want to make the cas http://www.cricket365.com/basket/7187/story/8810719/England-call-up-Onions-Compton-exit that Cadel's progression is anything as Froom's... well...suffice to say nobody here takes you serious if you try that insane posture here)
darwin553 said:Wait? So Cadel is implicated because of the manager's connection to LA? Clutching at straws I'm afraid but then again nothing like a good conspiracy theory, especially around here
Franklin said:Fantastic retort. I am truly amazed you managed to miss the managers connections (note the plural of both managers and connections) and come up with the LEAST damning fact. Thats like the biggest blinkers that are possible.
Nothing wrong with BMC
And thank you for showing your sheer and utter lack of depth. Enjoy the Spectacle. I also advice you to watch WWF, though that might be a bit scary as those guys really hit hard.
darwin553 said:It is a shame that LA destroyed your faith in cycling then?
