In South Africa it might be better to put the few not involved in murder in prison for their own protection.
but how would you get an invite to the Reeva Steenkamp memorial at Uncle Toni's place, whoops, not Nadals avuncular, I mean Arnold Pistorius.

Should be a ho down at Arnold's place for a wicked Africaans braai. There will be mean wurst on the fire

What appears to run in the family is recklessness. A reporter who covered Pistorius in the past recalled his driving at 140 mph. He also was involved in a serious crash in a boat, after which he supposedly vowed to tone down his wild life. I don’t know any of the details of his brother’s accident, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that he was driving over the speed limit, under the influence, or in some other manner that contributed to the death.

On a cycling forum, I think most recognize that elite athletes (though I hesitate to describe OP that way) very frequently live on the edge, taking major risks both out of as well as in competition. This "I'm invulnerable" attitude, surely, makes it more likely they will not only have a gun, but threaten someone with it, and probably also makes it more likely that they will pull the trigger in a moment of rage.

I do find it interesting that the detective's murder charge came out before the bail hearing, while his brother's charge comes out later. Both involved incidents fairly far in the past.
that is reckless? lol I hope to god you never visit europe(especially germany)

That isn't reckless by your standards? Gods I hope you don't drive.

In most circumstances it would be reckless but maybe just okayish in some. That is assuming it is legal which it is not anywhere in Australia.

Touché

I was going to say something similar but you said it better.

So ryo et al, it really has nothing to do at all with the speeds you can do on the autobahn but more with where and in what inappropriate place you do your high speed acts...

I would think you intellects here would understand the full meaning of "reckless"

You do know that it's not 140 km/h, but 140 mph? That's 225 km/h.

I'd say that 160-180 km/h isn't unusual on the autobahn, but 225 is extreme.

I've been passed by someone doing a lot more than that (A8) while going 200 myself, along with most of the rest of the traffic.

I just shot all my family. But it's ok, I thought they were intruders. I didn't have my reading glasses on at the time.

Oh, and I shot the dog too. It looked like a burglar crawling along the floor out of the corner of my eye.

Did you have your prosthetics on at the time?

You shot your dog, bring back the death penalty

Yeah right. How do they call it herbal if it is made from pig nuts and such? Also keep in mind the it was put out by OP team.
Don't pass the smell taste. But nothing about this case does.

A lot of people mix up herbal with homeopathic: looks like this is homepathic.

And if its not on any banned list, its end of subject & speculation.

It was out by OPs PR team no comment from the police.

I agree that there is still something dodgy about this, seems unusual for the IOC to comment.

The statement from WADA is good for OP although its not clear if that was in relation to OPs samples or the general remedy known as Testis Compositium.

Roux saying in court it was Testo-compo-gobbledygook still seems dodgy.
 
Testis compositum is a product that you keep in your house so that when you fail a drug test (for the real thing) you can say, "It must have been in that natural supplement I was taking."

The original name "Powdered Bull Nuts" didn't test well.

He obviously lacked a bazooka to take out the bathroom door to save his babe, C4 would of been acceptable as well.

Too bad he didn't even think to yell "Come out with your hands up!" ..or something logical like that

Who just blasts four shots into a locked door without even a warning?
amazing he's not killed several people before with that tactic...
