Doping or not Zabel was twice + the man that Stuey ever was...
well, chances are Ete will never hear it, unless Jason Phillips gets in his ear in Koln when he is providing his son with some SRAM product

"It matters to me because you didn't make a career out of it [if you doped once],'' he said.
"Someone like [Erik] Zabel has said 'I did it my whole career'. That's a false career.''
That is magic, even more so if a deliberate troll.
trying to promote the book, as I said, Ete will never hear of it, so it is not major problem. And is it a real troll, I would think p'raps, Stuey has sublimated all those green jersey losses, and this may be externalising those losses in a psychological stream Stuey would not appreciate, but an algorithm would get a handle on this cypher

O'Grady is just the kind of scum that nobody ever needs to let near young cyclists. "We believe you Stuey Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi"...and the beat goes on.
well, he will be still seen as the most prominent cyclist in the sport, by those INSIDE the sport, they love him. And he will always be able to access
jobs for the boys, or bike tours in July

The problem for Stuey is that he did not come out and confess to his 1999 doping, then the truce came out through the tests, so he has lost peoples trust, so when he says what he says about P-R and the olympics it is natural for people to not beleive him, he would be better keeping his mouth shut even if he didn't dope then
the thing with telling a lie, you do not have the authentic memory to go back to, so you will trip over yourself and contradict lies with further lies. It is pretty easy for the layperson sleuth to triangulate the BS and find the manifest contradictions

Lets see how many cycling journalists question O'Grady about his bullsh!t.
none, they love him too. Rupert Guinness was best mates with Phil anderson and lived with him in the 1980s when he was editing the euro desk of Velonews, so dont assume that anything has changed. Can you imagine Anthony Tan putting the hard word on Stuey? lol - babushka doll ftw. or not
Benotti69 said:
Zabel has managed to stay in the sport, something O'Grady is going to hopefully find hard to do.
Not that i am happy about Zabel being in the sport.
nah, Stuey will be well kept in Australia, tho it is impossible to have major gigs in this far antipodean continent in the northern hemisphere summer

O'Grady claims to have taken EPO in "extremely cautious amounts" for two weeks prior to TdF1998 and then destroyed all of his stash when the Festina affair broke, right before the Tour started. Still his sample from July 26, two weeks into the race, was positive for EPO. How can anyone believe even that part of the story?
most will. The Clinic knows bull**** being sold as propaganda and retirement book(s)
Dear Wiggo said:
Seems like a long half-life for a "cautious" amount.
Maybe, just as "more than 10 years ago" = March last year, 2 weeks = 2 years, and cautious = as much as would fit in the needle?
yep. cautious is just tapping it with your finger to remove the air bubbles.

I bet it won't be many, if at all. He's like Teflon for some reason. We'll have to see.
some reason? hes Stuey farkin Ogrady. They luv him.
But, I always thought Allan Davis would win green jerseys, and win San Remo, I think therer were two Via Roma(s)/
falling leaves where he was the fastest in the finish but had to come from too far back and just got on the podium. Then Fuentes and Purto, and Mike Turtur could not fix it up at the UCI, (he was a board member, and I think he was in the hierarchy for a future Pres, like Pat the heir to Hein, I thought Turtur was also in the promotion barrell) , so Liberty Seguros and Manolo Saiz was his downfall. He now cant find a team at 32. Tho I think Mcewen was about 29/30 when he moved to Lotto for his success. But the fastmen in the peloton have certainly gone way past Davis' speed now.

He'll probably continue to be as well. Australia has just thrashed England 5-0 in the Ashes test series and the Aus Open is just around the corner with Lleyton Hewitt showing his first real form in donkeys years. The English Premier League is getting more publicity ATM than off season cycling news ever will and even though the TDU is a few weeks away it's only a small blip in the sports news here.
O'Grady picked the perfect time to say something this stupid. Unless you actually get up and actively chase current cycling news online you wouldn't even know about it.
yep, he will be back in July for expert comments during the Tour.
