Maybe the person that changed my post would like to tell us in this thread why it was changed?

Have you seen the Cav's comments?

Cav's comments seemed really sensible and normal riiiiiight up until the prison rape joke in the last sentence. I don't know if he was joking or what but it was stupid.

Cav's comments were bad enough.

It is not accepteable for a forum user to advocate rape.

Please calm down and stop making objectionable postings, or you will face a ban.

WTF? Excuse me, but I think you will find that it was CN that chose to include Cav's comments about anal rape in the video that CN released. It would seem hypocritical to then complain when people comment about it.

Anyway, I thought his comment was gold.

Funny how the CN 'interview' with Frodo, Aldag and Kelly fails to mention that 2 of the three are convicted dopers. One of whom nearly killed himself on EPO. Maybe they could have asked Kelly about that time the whole PDM team went down with 'food poisoning'.

Aldag - a self confessed doper who continues to employ dopers like Zabel and work with a doper like Holm. And some how we are supposed to take his condemnation seriously???

As for Frodo - the poster boy for ODing on HGH and roid rage ought to stfu and hope that HTC have kept upto date with their payments to the UCI.

This latest barb encapsulates the debate of the last two days.
Seems there is now a yellow jersey competition amongst the peloton
to see who can utter the most vile remark/joke. (depending on your sense of humour and where you stand on hypocrisy)

I tend to dismiss anything Cavendish says regarding dopers in the peloton and will continue to do so, just so long as he continues to sing the praises of Zabel, Hincapie, Armstrong et al.

That would be the same Zabel who admitted to being a doper?

It's ok back then it was bad, now cycling is clean with very few stupid enough to dope :rolleyes:

That's how they justify things, isn't it?

Cav may speak before he thinks sometimes and his ***** comments may have been a bit insensitive. And I wish he would speak out against LA et all. hmm. He is setting the bar awfully high for himself. But keep on talking. Glad someone is being on record about it instead of lame a$$ twitter comments from the other no balls riders.

Has someone asked Frodo if he wants to see Dertie Contador raped as well? Is he looking forward to his hero Lance being raped, or perhaps he is disappointed that David Millar wasn't raped when he was in jail after being busted?

Or perhaps in the eyes of the Manx Hobbit only Ricco 'deserves' to be raped.

And CN accused Ricco of being a knuckle-dragging neanderthal.

I wonder how orchestrated this competition is. It is strange how some riders are given a free pass, others are shown less mercy. Concerted actions or pack mentality?

Ricco really has been thrown to the lions (to mix a metaphor).

I'm starting to find three years of contempt for him start to dissolve.

Isn't the animosity aimed at Ricco more because he is a massive, massive tw*t than just because he doped? I always thought that was Cav's opinion, at least.

If being a **** was reason enough to be thrown under the bus then Frodo would have been under a number 23 a very long time ago.

Unlike Frodo, I don't recall Ricco causing any crashes and then spitting on his injured rival.
