Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

[thehog]

A real journalist would verify with Lance's mommy if she called
him an a-sshole before printing it in the manner PK did. Not that
Lance is not an a-sshole by any stretch of the imagination, and
not that PK was not told that story by the Lemond's, but proper
journalists seek a second source to verify. Kudos to PK for much
of the work he has done, but in many ways he is about as good
a journalist as he was a cyclist. And yes, I do mean he took
"short-cuts" as a cyclist and he continues to take short-cuts as
a journalist. While his heart may be in the right place I don't think
we should worship him like many of you used to worship Lance.

Yeah let's get Kimmage! Bad guy! Burn him!

Oops steady Oldcrank, don't upset the Kimmage fanbois! They get mighty angry when anyone criticises the very person who does all their thinking for them

Spambot Joachim.

Thats revealing.

To quote Kimmage -
"Interesting that Bradley Wiggins is still following the Lance Armstrong blueprint for success: 1 Ignore the message 2 Attack the messenger"

It seems the Wiggins/Sky fans are following that blueprint too.

Nah. What is revealing is your response. You didnt even drop the ball because you weren't even looking in the right direction.

There was no attack on Kimmage

He's not the messenger, though. He's the author of the message.

In the absense of any actual evidence of doping, draw a lame parallel with Armstrong. Lazy 'journalism'.

According to Wiggins 2006 there is ample evidence of doping at Sky.

Don't worry, your trolling was noted.

Kimmage was not talking about doping, he is on the record saying "I don't know"
The parallel he drew with Armstrong was the way he treats those who question (a pretty fundamental part of a journos job) and he accurately highlighted that parallel.

 

[Joachim]

Sheer balls

 

[Joachim]

Don't worry, your trolling was noted.

Pal, you made the accusation, and I showed you that you were wrong.

An apology would have done, rather than a lame insult.

Next time try reading posts a little more carefully before putting both feet in your mouth.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

You trully are a man capable of making a lot of friends in a very short time.

Kimmage is as almost always right on the button. Shoot the messenger, will work for 12 years at least we know by now.

 

[Benotti69]

He is here to obfuscate.

He has a high rate of being correct. When wrong Kimmage has no problem admitting to it either, which he did on Kohl.

What are you insulted about?
You trolled, I actually ignored it first time round but you decided to highlight it in your second response to me.
Why pretend to be insulted?

What's that about, I don't recall?

 

[Benotti69]

What's that about, I don't recall?

He thought Kohl won the mountain stage in the TdF without dope. He was wrong.

 

[spalco]

How strange. I liked Kohl, but even I had to smile about him back then. Maybe Kimmage is more of an optimist than me.

I am not insulted, in spite of your attempt.

You've all proved my point. You start jumping up and down when someone questions your God, Kimmage. I guess we have to expect that from fanbois.

See, you (plural) don't like it when the same style of attack you employ so freely is employed on you. Don't like it? Then don't show such sneering disrespect to others who may hold views different to your own. It is only cycling after all. Its not that important. About 60 people lost their lives in Algeria this weekend. That's important.

Don't think of this as 'trolling'. Think of it as education.

PS. I love Paul Kimmage

 

[Dr. Maserati]

I am not insulted, in spite of your attempt.

So, why did you attempt to dismiss what I accurately pointed out as an insult?
You trolled the members here, it was noted.

Trolling and dismissing what Kimmage says, ok.

Can you actually state what you are on about?
How am I supposed to get educated when you are vague on the basics?

I don't disrespect you because you have a "different view" - I have little respect for you because you dismiss others view by saying Kimmage does our thinking, which is trolling, petty and inaccurate.

Awww . . .. Leave the kids alone.

 

[roundabout]

He thought Kohl won the mountain stage in the TdF without dope. He was wrong.

I think Kimmage thought that Kohl was clean because he looked extremely exhausted.

That a mediocre rider like him could contend would have been enough to raise eyebrows at any other time.

 

[blackcat]

It'll be back to one hundred and one 'Brits don't dope, huzzah for Sir Brad, Sir Dave and cute little Frodo Cavendish'.

Frodo is standing in line for his knigthood. No really, yes really, that is him when he stands, he is that short. Frodo, for short.

Standing

at full height

in line

knight hood

 

[thehog]

Good article. Unfortunately some of his quotes from the interview were taken a bit out of context.

Thanks Froome19.

Which quotes were these?

Thanks for keeping us informed.

This is IOC home territory. If law enforcement can act on the criminal complaint, IMHO, it sets a precedent that the IOC and sports federations will not like.

I will be amazed if the complaints don't die just like Wonderboy's criminal investigation. They shouldn't die, but this is big-money politics.
