Reactions from the peloton

[Shardi]

Mr. Tinkov bringing out the big guns aiming at Johan and Lance, meanwhile Bjarne sits tight and safe in his pantzerwagen..

 

[Lukenwolf]

Panzerwagen is written without a 't'. Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm German, I got OCD by birthright.

Anyway. Hearing Tinkov slugging the UCI is an interesting thing, considering that anyone interested in systematic doping should hope that Phat Pat stays where he is..

 

[workingclasshero]

tinkov is funny.

he goes from

"Cycling will be better now without Bryneel,Armstrong and other cheaters.We all knew they doped.Now cycling need to get rid of UCI management"

to this in reply to someone saying he needs to get rid of Contador and Riis in his team.

"BS Alberto is clean and simply strongest! Riis has confessed and he never organize it in Bryneel way"

 

[fat_boy_fat]

"BS Alberto is clean and simply strongest! Riis has confessed and he never organize it in Bryneel way"

Yeah, funny.

The encounter with Riis, Tyler described in "The Secret Race", and the Dane’s involvement in one of the most sophisticated, scientifically organised doping programs (Telekom), does allow the assumption, that he liked to have a well-organised program of his own.

 

[Ferminal]

Tinkov is ****ed that they couldn't get around the issue with Contador's points. Hating the UCI is convenient, although I'm not sure it is doing their final 3 selection chances any good.

riis obviously never organised it in the telekom team as he was just a rider there

"tyler, have you ever tried a transfusion? you should"

how sexy does that sound in your head? I use it as wan.ing material now, seriously boys (and girls) just imagine Riis with his rusty voice and the danish accent which makes it sound like he always talks with food in his mouth. hot.

 

[I Watch Cycling In July]

Every cyclist claiming it was "all in the past" should be retro tested for HGH. If they still say it under those conditions, I'll believe them.

 

[hrotha]

I'd say Telekom signed him mostly to get up to date on the doping methods of the Italian teams. Same reason why they signed Livingston, or why Kelme signed Desbiens.

 

[fat_boy_fat]

That’s right, but there he learned about the advantages of organised doping.

he learned that with gewiss and he used it also as a manager in lesser form until he had to abondon it after fuentes

 

[hiero2]

Some openness from Froome.
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/froome-looking-to-lead-sky-in-2013-tour-de-france

While he is talking about Sky's new policy, THAT is a direct result of USADA, therefore it is a reaction from the peloton.

And, we are finally seeing more positive reactions - openness and clarity.

Haleluja.

Samuel Dumoulin says that "If the UCI wants to make a real decision, it must withdraw from the fight against doping and request that an independent regulatory system is put in place."

Jimmy Engoulvent happy to be promoted to 137th in the 2004 Tour

Marcel Kittel - "So they confirmed Armstrongs ban. And now? I don't agree that "we should forget Armstrong".He should always be the reminder 4 the wrong way!"

Oleg Tinkov - "http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/mcquaid-lance-armstrong-has-no-place-in-cycling we also need NEW UCI management and change the system. McQuaid better follow Lance"

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

Every cyclist claiming it was "all in the past" should be retro tested for HGH. If they still say it under those conditions, I'll believe them.

I think an intelligence test would be more appropriate.

Also now Dumoulin is retweeting things like..

"As a fan of cycling, I think it will not change as long as there is Riis, Vino, Contador. No 2nd chance."

"And remove the title of Bjarne Riis right? Cycling the only sport where one is not punished for positive controls."

William Bonnet "They have cheated but it is we who will pay with fewer sponsors, fewer teams" Dumoulin reply "In addition to what they have already stolen all these years"

Jeremy Roy "Cycling plays big today. NO to amnesty... Yes to sanctions and excluding the corrupt #UCIPressConf #futureisnow"


Ricco "A donkey does not become a racehorse"
A Riccardonkey does not become a Ricchorse

Samuel Sanchez also coming off as a total moron in all this, just repeated on Spanish TV "If Armstrong hasn't tested positive there is no reason to sanction him"

 

[Ney the Viking]

Head of DCU Jesper Worre said (on telly) that he wasnt sure that UCI would be strong in the case against armstrong due to the things they said about USADA, which is surprising since he normally is an UCI asslicker, however he did finish the interview with saying that he should note that UCI has ALWAYS been trying to fight doping and protect the riders and the clean interests.

So yeah, no surprise there, Worre as usual isnt dumb, he is however an omerta ******* that sides with the UCI in order to smooth his own bloody career, bah. (if anyone has a transcript of the complete interview from TV2 i will be happy to translate it).

Samuel Sanchez also coming off as a total moron in all this, just repeated on Spanish TV "If Armstrong hasn't tested positive there is no reason to sanction him"

This reminds me of two things:

1) "We don't say doping. We say we are preparing for the race. To take drugs is to cheat. As long as the person doesn't test positive, they're not taking drugs." Richard Virenque (cyclingnews, October 24, 2000)

2) His relationship with Pepe Marti. (Carlos Arribas, 11 OCT 2012)

You know it's officially over for LA, when Watson replaces his old pic (with bracelet). LOL!!!

Although his Livestrong bracelets are visibly gone, his jacket is still hiding his Livestrong dog collar.

Good boy.

Had a quick poke around Watson's website, which used to be all Lance Armstrong all the time. Didn't spend too much time there but I couldn't find a thing Lance-related.

 

[maltiv]

This is the same Kittel who was linked with doping himself after an investigation by German TV.

...which we, by now, know was just plain wrong (what he did was 100% legal back then). So I hardly see how that's relevant.

Sanchez? He is embarrassing himself, gone right down in my estimation since he opened his yap the last few weeks.
