Matt White stands down from all positions

[rata de sentina]

Gawd, acf94 does it again, starts a thread when there already is one.

Check the OP times

Too many donkeys before the thoroughbreds. :-/

Bingo.

10 char

 

[hrotha]

I found the wording interesting. While it is unambiguous, it's still funny that he couldn't bring himself to plainly say "I doped".

Shush I'm just winding acf94 up, he'll go ballistic.
Anyway,the other thread is more 'popular'

Too long in team management - corporatised speech impediment. JV, Brailsford, et al all have it.

It was
Lets not eat the tomatos before they are ripe.

Or wait till they are rotten so we can pelt the guilty parties publicly with them.


Or lets not put the cart before the donkey.

or count your chickens before they have hatched

Merged the two Matt White threads.

All the statements from the USADA fallout from Hincapie to White have been appalling and none of them seem to be written from the heart.

Either they are lying or they dont feel guilty so are not putting out a real heartfelt apology.

I doubt any of these guys are sorry. Only sorry they got caught!

And since they dont feel truly sorry, I doubt they were finished with doping!

 

[GJB123]

Number 27!

 

[Tuarts]

Weren't there whispers about White leaving GE before the Bobby to Rabo announcement?

 

[Kennf1]

I'd still like to hear him explain why he sent Trent Lowe to Del Moral in 2010.

Cycling journalist Arnold interviewed on ABCNews 24 points to Matt White doping in Cofidis as well - live news24 this morning. Leading story

Because Del Moral has a way with squeaky clean riders?

One down, 18 to go and also 11 others.

Lets keep count as they fall.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Any word from Aussie hero Cadel?

Surely he's standing up for clean cycling?

Cadel is Australia's George Hincapie except with greater palmares. He knows when to keep his mouth shut.

Well, frankly, we aren't dealing with the cream of the intellectual crop. Many of these cyclists come across as complete idiots.

I can see why Hincapie keeps quiet. The guy is a complete dolt. Seems like a nice guy, but a complete dumbass.

Isn't it 2 down 17 to go as Kjaergaard (I've probably spelt that wrong) has admitted to being young and naive and just taking what ever was given to him.

I mostly agree, but bear in mind who Cadel's boss is, and his relationship to Fraudstrong.
If the conspiracy runs as deep as many suggest I'm not sure it pays to open your mouth prematurely - just ask Hamilton, Landis and possibly even Schleck and Alberto how they tested positive.
Cadel is a pretty risk adverse guy (to say the least) and he also might be just a tad brighter than the average (ePostal) domestique.
I think we'll get confirmation one way or the other one day soon.

Interesting way of putting it, I would say he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. But to behonest I don't think anyone in the media is seeking his opinion, they are more focused on the whole Armstrong 1999-2006 bit and of course that is the Matt White connection.

Matt White is the coach for his wife Jane Saville who is an Olympic walker.
She has 3 commonwealth gold medals and an Olympic bronze.
Makes you wonder??
Doping is all pervasive.

Why wonder, seriously - it' race walking

 

[babastooey]

What impresses me the most about what White did was that he didn't let the pressure build up on him before leaving the sport. I have a feeling that Vaughters won't go as quickly. Maybe he will.

Arnold wrote Evans autobiography. Arnold knows you cant win the Tour clean, and has seen Evans jaw grow a centimetre in the last 6 years,
