Pick the Date When the Clinic Implodes.....

Post LA confession, it appears that the intra-Clinic animosity has soared to new heights, now that the beast has been slain....in the LA thread, the Kimmage thread, the Sky thread.

So how long before the insults and attacks force CN to suspend or eliminate the Clinic as we know it today?

It's healthy debate, no special animosity as far as I can see.
Too much is far from healthy. Too many Clinic regulars can't even tell when a subject might be better out of the clinic. Far too much certainty without evidence. You'd never want one of these regulars adjudicate anything since they hardly think process matters, only their sense of what is credible? Given the weight and impact of the subject on cycling I thought that maybe some real intelligent conversation might come out of this but mostly it is SKY is dirty and along with Sky every one is still doping and don't forget they all take drugs.
And then there is the constant declarations of how the system works by people that don't have any idea.
Guys it isn't UCI that keeps them in the anti doping game it is the WADA rules that have prevented the UCI from getting completely out of it as we might all agree is a good idea. More than anything it is the negativity. There is no optimism or positive energy coming out of that area. They are creating the forum they deserve, an ill one.

Oh, noes. The mugs ain't buyin' the latest version of the same fairy tale the hucksters are foisting on the public. It's the mugs' fault.

How can anyone have any optimism with the Sky fraud going on? Get a message up to central command, dude, and tell them to dial it back to within the realm of believability. Then people will be able to pretend that everything is okay.

I find it funny that the same people that pick on the Lance crowd get all huffy when one of their own takes a hit. Then they go and report every post like someone sole their grade school lunch box. Remember folks it can turn on you's sooner than you expect :D

Oh and it won't implode because some of us know entertainment for entertainment's sake, but there will be a boat load of bans. Can't wait to count who will hit three come July though, will DB's three strikes and you're out really take effect or will it be a weak threat as most of those will be the regulars (regular to get banned).
 
may the debate continue

13/13/13. It's the date when Fuentes' medical diary ends and it is said the clinic will also end cataclysmically.

Book it.
