[Eyeballs Out]

I'd go for superhuman.

BTW I've always read alien with clinic implications but then this is cycling after all.

alien is a bad word now? what term are we supposed to use to describe world class athletes who are miles ahead of actual world class athletes?

You can use Tadej or Isaac interchangeably. Shouldn't be that hard. Did you see Remco on the front chasing in Kigali? His name could also work for things that don't look of this earth or dropped at a race by hovering orb

Sting also has a pleasant song about an Englishman in New York.. That was when the word was OK..@1988

Way to show that you only pay attention to the posts that complain, and not to those that explain.

I'm not typing that out every time!

Why would you want to?

Thank you. I am a bit slow this morning

I think we have made it very clear that the term is not prohibited, and frankly, I am getting fed up of people constantly taking digs about it. What is not going to be allowed is obvious accusations of doping outside the clinic.

So we can just say whatever we want basically? I can just go around saying people said stuff, even though it's not true. Or say I said something, even though it's not true.

If you think someone has acted unreasonably, to the extent that you can't respond civilly, report it. Or take some time away from the keyboard to decide whether it is really worth having a row about.

It's unfortunate that I can no longer suggest that you have it out between yourselves in PMs.

I agree on that part
