I thought results were left vacant if someone didn't test positive at a race but was caught later? Honestly, it's hard to keep up with how these rules are implemented.

Let's also give Armstrong a break then.Bolder said:Red Rick said:**** loved the days when you at least had to beat your opponents on the road instead of just pulling GT wins out of your ***.
But to be honest, if this cheers up Froome, I'm all for it. Poor guy, and I mean that sincerely.

Take it to the cobo thread pleasethehog said:Cobo has said he plans to appeal the decision using Froome’s Ventoux performance in 2013 as evidence he wasn’t the only one cheating :lol:

Is that how this is supposed to work? Froome crashing yesterday does not affect him being an insult to the viewerships intelligence in the slightest.dacooley said:yea, guys, yesterday's indulgence attack didn't last for too long. froome is once again a villain because of cobo getiing stripped the vuelta off. )

Getting beaten by Cobo I think was a great thing for his career; lighting a fire in him that made him go even one step further or two.
Yip, that’s clearly how the legal system workmacbindle said:thehog said:Cobo has said he plans to appeal the decision using Froome’s Ventoux performance in 2013 as evidence he wasn’t the only one cheating :lol:
Surely all Cobo has to do is use any of Froome's performances pre-2011 Vuelta to demonstrate that he wasnt the only cheat in that race

That is what I was thinking. A guy who is very clearly cheating...sorry, I don't really care what happens to him. Call me evil. Call me soulless. But if you are out there making millions and lying directly to everyone, um....so what if you have some bad luck?
You didn't exactly instill a reason to care about you. My feeling is that plenty of decent people have awful things happen to them. So when something bad happens to someone choosing to do illegal things, sorry, I don't have much energy to sympathize. I didn't wish him ill. But I don't really care that he had some bad luck. He didn't really care about lying to everyone, did he?

If your name is: Wonderboy/Froome/Astana it is.
