Right now he is busy putting in the good word for a "quality guy" who was just sanctioned for using EPO. The runner won $40K in prize money from small races. Yup, another friend of Dan's. It's like this chode knows every doper in the country.SlowtwitchLeaks said:Did Empfield write a piece about the lie detector stunt? He seems to be in tune with the latest stuff Lance's lawyers come up with.
WOW... you cannot be serious!

What's the ST username of this Sensenbrenner aide?ChewbaccaD said:Hell, the asswipe who works in Sensenbrenner's office who wrote the letter Sensenbrenner signed a couple of months ago posts there regularly. That place is a cesspool of stupidity.
Still got those Honey stinger ads up though...

Did the same. I politely asked Dan to disable my account, and he obliged.kcycle12 said:Recently banned myself. Sounds like we've got quite the club here huh?
Not sure if you took that to mean that i actively did the disabling. Perhaps should have wrote that I recently got banned myself. I was somewhat critical of dan's decision to shelter Lance with his ban on open discussionalanshearer said:Did the same. I politely asked Dan to disable my account, and he obliged.
Can't believe I am going to say this but your post is 100 percent correct. That sums up what type of characters the majority of the triathlete crowd are.Berzin said:The triathlete crowd is marinating in PED's. Those yuppies are the driving engines behind anti-aging clinics, and like many cheaters, they don't consider what they do as cheating.
So it fits in perffectly with their Machiavellian world view that Armstrong ingested potentially toxic drugs and dangerous blood transfusions to win. What they don't appreciate is that all that is now out in the open.
Friend of mine has been skrewjob'd by this C. Hesch ****** a little while back in 2011. Just goes to show what is happening right in front of us that people refuse to accept.BroDeal said:Right now he is busy putting in the good word for a "quality guy" who was just sanctioned for using EPO.

We should probably add the runner to the masters fatty thread.

They pile into the LowT centers and think it is perfectly normal. Because hey man everyone knows your T levels are headed down after 40 and if you want to keep it going you just have to keep those levels at a healthy 25-30 year old would have.![]()
Scott Molina was banned from racing in France in the 90's, after testing positive for amphetamines. And you guessed it... great friends with Empfield.JohnnyCage said:Another banned ST'er here.
Don't forget Jimmy Ricitello... Lance's best tri buddy, friend of Empfield, and now head referee with Ironman (WTC), ha, what joke!
Search for the thread with user "skid" (aka Scott Molina) on age groupers and doping. Molina doesn't seem to have too many problems with it.
I know all of them personally. They are glory hounds and shammy sniffers. Dan Empfield is a complete tool. Sad that my user name seems to be associated with them, as Peaceful Tribe was a phrase that I used long before Slowtwitch used it. The whole Ironman scene is a circus!SlowtwitchLeaks said:Scott Molina was banned from racing in France in the 90's, after testing positive for amphetamines.

As for Jimmy, he was seen walking around 70.3 Worlds in Vegas decked out in Livestrong gear.
Not too hard to believe. Most of these triathletes did triathlons simply because they could not hang as cyclists or runners. Dave Babiracki(second at Boston marathon, US 15k record holder)and i used to joke about these guys. He told me about a duathlon in SoCal where some of the names were gonna be. When we get to the bike, these guys just ride off in a tight pack. Guys like Tinley & Molina. The thought they were so cool they could do whatever they wanted. The race director caught up to their pack and told them to break it up or they would be DQd, they gave him the finger and just kept rotating. So he DQd the lot of them, there was a big scene at the finish that day. Those tools drafted the whole bike for an hour and still barely stayed ahead of the non cheaters. Not uncommon for triathletes to be big cheaters. Before GPS courses were ALWAYS short. Short course=fast time=more competitors next year=more money. They finally had to pass a rule that a course had to be within 90percent of what it claimed. Still a joke but much better than the bs of the early years. I was on a "championship" course once which was so short my first mile split of a 10K was a 4:35.JohnnyCage said:Another banned ST'er here.

Tinley used to write a column for Triathlete magazine. Generally incomprehensible attempt at metaphysics and introspection. I'm not sure if he ever did performance-enhancing drugs, but after reading his columns I got the impression that he did a few too many recreational drugs.runninboy said:Guys like Tinley & Molina.
Ya know I always wondered how I ran an 18:30 5km, when my training was always 4min k's. Dayam. Makes sense now that you mention it.

triathlon apart from the Brownings and a select few is just not an elite sport and has always been contested by non elite "athletes".
Is Kona over yet? One week since the reasoned decision and no word from Empfield...klehner said:You know, there's this kinda big event going on now somewhere in the Pacific, and Dan is sorta involved in that this week, and maybe just doesn't have the time to read the entire thing and intelligently respond on your schedule.
