thehog said:Cookson just needs more time and he has to follow the rules
keeponrollin said:Indeed.
I'm sure for his 2nd term as President he'll be relentlessly pursuing exactly the same issues he failed to fix from his first term.
thehog said:Yes, bringing credibility back to the UCI and his manifesto looks truly amazing:
• Rebuild trust in the UCI – OK, ummm are you sure about this? Froome, Menchov?
• Transform anti-doping in cycling – In house and swept under the rug.
• Grow cycling across the globe – Out of China and extra races into Britain, good job, I say old chap.
• Develop women’s cycling – By not giving them minimum wage but telling them what to wear.
• Overhaul elite road cycling – By putting cameras on bikes and handing over TV rights to Sky TV.
• Strengthen cycling’s credibility and influence within the Olympic Movement – By allowing the Russians to dope like crazy and give the British athletes a pass on blood tests.

Vinokourov did manage a joke about his situation. "I heard that I made a transfusion with my father's blood," Vinokourov said. "That's absurd, I can tell you that with his blood, I would have tested positive for vodka."
thehog said:Yay!
Vino has set up his on CIRC. Come speak with me on doping problems in cycling, then we drink.

I have spoken to the team doctors who had a hypothesis that there was an enormous amount of blood in my thighs, which could have led to my positive test.
Granville57 said:Funny thing is, I didn't make that up. That's an actual quote from Vino!
yespatterns said:It's pretty easy... Doping sanction? Your done. No riding and no support staff position. Make it retroactive and things get cleaner very quickly.

Hugh Januss said:It never ceases to amaze me how some can single out 1 team or 1 rider as "the biggest crook, worst doper" whatever. You better get with Foxxy because the biggest crook in cycling is named Chris Horner. Seriously though, this story names riders from Astana, Lampre, and Katusha and what you get from it is Astana is utter scum? The biggest thing that I take away from this investigation is that it shows BMC, Sky, Saxo etc. must be working with someone other than Ferrari, oh yeah and Horner too. I guess that Ferrari doesn't have the market cornered as he once did.
Der Effe said:Astana = mafia = crooks. I didn't say worst doper and it's exactly that example your entire argument is build upon. Classy.
But anyway, Nibali and Aru will be next and all the cycling fans can say they never saw it c0o0o0o0o0ming bcuz Vino said they had nothing to hide.

Hugh Januss said:Interested to hear why you think Vino is a bigger crook than Armstrong, Riis, or Hein and Pat just for a few examples. If Vino is in fact the "biggest crook in the history of cycling" there has got to be a knifes edge of difference, so what is it that you perceive as putting Vino over the top as compared to all the other crooks in the history of cycling? Did he dope to win the TDF as many times as Indurain or Armstrong? Did he even dope to win the TDF as many times as Landis? Or did he dope to win the TDF exactly as many times as Tyler and his twin put together?

St. Moritz, Switzerland and Mount Teide, Tenerife were Ferrari’s preferred locations for carrying out blood transfusions
