Just finished his book. Annoyed I paid money for it. What a steaming pile of dog ****.

Elaborate, please.
Does Barry repeat the claim that he stopped doping when no one visited him in the hospital after crashing out of a race?
I mean, does that even make sense? A guy's hurt because no one cares to visit him and he's all like, "Screw you guys, I'm not doping anymore."

For another irreverent view on Barry's new book, and on Hincapie's for that matter:

Bit of a late post, but Cycling Canada made the following announcement a week ago:

CYCLING CANADA CONSULTATION INTO DOPING

"... The consultation will consist of a series of interviews designed to gather information regarding the prevalence, actual or perceived, of past and present doping activity inside the sport. Critically, the source of the information being sought will remain fully anonymous and thus protected from any possible sanction or retribution. All information will be gathered by a fully independent third party who shall be unconnected and unaffiliated with both the CCES and CC

... "

A breath of fresh air?

So this is a book with comments from Clara written in 2006 during the period Michael Barry was actively deceiving his friends about his drug use and 6 years before he fessed up!

Or there are other reasonable interpretations.

You understand that at worlds he was riding for his nation as a top rider so unlike his job he was saving his strength rather than getting bottles or riding tempo for an hour.
Some credit must be given to the fact he got to race as a leader rather than a worker so his results are contextual in that.

No glory can be legitimately gained from doping.

Dave.

The only difference between a guy like Michael Barry and Rob Ford is about 100kg. They are both from Ontario, both dopers and they both spout a bunch of nonsense.

Barry takes himself for some kind of pseudo poet, his prose makes me want to barf. And if he wants to quote his French "directeur sportif" he should at least try to get it right.

Like the fact that there is a whole lot more to the Michael Barry and Dede Demet doping stories than anyone is telling us.

Dave.

How does this involve Clara which was the implication in Mark W's comment? Get real!
