What is topic?

I'm not sure. I think is some form of new drug but currently in trials.

I think some wealthy teams are using it. Apparently it doesn't provide any performance enhancement on the bike but does stop Internet trolls questioning your performance. I've found recently I'm really struggling to draw upon drug connotations about Team Sky. It has me worried that's it's in full use.
 
Great moderation here. Thread starts in the The Clinic. Obviously the OP wants doping to be discussed. Thread gets moved to a non-doping forum. The expected posts are made to the thread. Thread gets moved back to The Clinic. Posts that were on topic get deleted, and now no one can discuss the reasons why there is no optimism about pro cycling. Brilliant.

Oops, I forgot the threat to ban people if they violate the schizo moderation policy that has been applied to the thread. Double plus brilliant.

Every time this thread gets interesting, some magic thingy happens and stuff disappears or vanishes like it was put into a rocket ship and gets blasted up in the air, composed mostly of nitrogen, which gives the impression that it is blue.

When there is no longer big money in winning international cycling races.

When there is foolproof, fair, and consistent testing and sanctioning bodies don't play favorites in order to keep a good story.

When winning is no longer everything.

When we remember who finished second.

When righteous indignation isn't the first thing someone who was a decent Cat 1 or semi pro racer but never made the next step but is still bitterly convinced that he would have made it if it weren't for those damn dirty cheaters expresses when just about anybody wins a bike race.

Yes, some people are putting it all on the line that running a team that professes doping is bad and they are clean, is the way to the promised land of gold and riches. Forget training and actually showing your face in a race, that's so "the doping years" kinda thing.

This thread is exciting as that recent Bond movie...what was it called again?

It was called; "The year that ended doping, 2006!"

Its oddly missing from my NetFlix database :confused:

Just because bike racers dope doesn't mean they don't have to train, suffer and live a disciplined life. They just do all those things will going a bit faster than they would if they were clean.

Doping will never die.
"The Clinic is the only place on Cyclingnews where you can discuss doping-related issues"
Ergo Clinic will never be closed.
However there are a some situations in which Clinic will implode
1) when >20% of the riders test positive
2) When LA begs for forgiveness
3) When one rider wins Giro tour Vuelta treble in single year
4) When one rider wins 5 monuments in single year
5) When all top riders test positive
6) when a superman undetectable drug is invented.
etc....

you guys are just forcing stuff, are not open minded to see the whole picture, cycling is cleaner than ever, but all you see is dope dope dope

Then why are you here & why keep posting here if you're so unhappy?

I am not unhappy. PO'd on occasion. It is never hard to find a good argument here and what fun is a forum where everyone agrees.

Yeah, yeah, we get. We are all just a bunch of dumb hillbillies.

I have never suggested that. I can't say the subject of how to hide a still or whether it is OK to date your cousin has come up. At least the subject of making Whiskey is tangentially related to doping.
