Considering the above, you have an awful lot of cycling knowledge. Joined 2 months ago, posting 1 liners to raise his posts, asking questions to gain Clinic posters knowledge, particularly on Shane Sutton thread ...yawn. Sky just keep on throwing them in here.

So says the person whose posts habitually attacks the poster, while contributing little, if anything to the debate.

the opposite is true actually. These posters that I 'attack' are here to derail the thread and put people off reading the Clinic. They have a purpose and are being trotted out ever since Sky came under scrutiny.

I am contributing to the debate by pointing out these time wasters.

You must be very content at night knowing you have made the clinic a better place for us all..

In all honesty the insults (inc the above one) are just a waste of time and though they used to scare some July posters off they do not scare of anyone anymore. Pointing out the time wasters has not helped has it? They are still an integral part of the discussion in this thread. Maybe it is you taking "their" bait (and me taking yours) which derails the thread?

The posters that you attack appear to be simply those with an opinion different to yours. You may be right or they may be right. Either way, to describe someone as a time-waster for posting something you don't like is both extremely arrogant (there's probaly plenty of folk who think you're a time-waster as well) and a pretty poor debating tactic (it demonstrates that you can't actually deal with opinions that are not the same as yours.)

Yawn indeed..I'll answer you once and once only as you're comments are obviously there only to bait and some other posters have already taken you up on it.
I was under the impression that this was a public forum where anyone could ask questions or raise an opinion. You seem to feel otherwise. Anything I've posted has been either out of genuine curiosity or statement of opinion. WRT derailing threads I would like to see evidence of that (there isn't any) why because I have tried to keep to the thread topics or respond to a particular post never just attacked a poster for a perceived attitude (like your doing!) as this does derail threads. If there is something I don't agree with or I think someone is trolling I tend to ignore (this is the first time I've replied to an obvious troll like yourself but the nature of the attack is personal but I'm not one to go crying off to Mods - I suggest you do though as you feel so strongly, if there is any substance in your absurd allegations then I should be banned. There isn't though apart from this one post your trolling has forced me to write.
You also seem to infer that I am specifically a Sky troll or something not sure what this is based in as I've not stated anywhere that I think their clean or dirty - reason being, I don't know and see the argument as futile am always happy to hear new arguments from both sides. Funny don't remember seeing anything of the sort from you.
Anyway this has surely achieved your goal and derailed the thread enough for you - why don't you read some threads and add something to the debate rather than just make personal attacks on other posters, alternatively just ignore everyone you don't want to hear and listen to everyone you agree with. Sounds like what forums are for doesn't it

What about the Sky Team and British riders trolling the posters. Does that count?

 

[thehog]

Just for example he me might say.....

Cookson has said that he is concerned that Armstrong could try to use his appearance to push for a reduction in his ban or another such benefit to him, and has called on him to speak honestly. He said he doesn’t want to see him tar other riders with the same brush and thus blacken Wiggins.

“For example, he might say ‘you can’t win the Tour without doping’,” Cookson told Manchester Evening News. “I am very happy and confident to say we have got Bradley Wiggins and you can win the Tour drugs free. I have known Bradley since he was a young man and he has proved you can win all the top races without doping.”

Wiggins became friendly with Armstrong after the Texan returned to competition in 2009. During the 2010 Tour de France, he enthused about the rider, despite the fact that he was under federal investigation at the time. “I love him,” Wiggins told the Guardian. “I think he's great. He's transformed the sport in so many ways. Every person in cycling has benefitted from Lance Armstrong, perhaps not financially but in some sense. Even his strongest critics have benefitted from him. I don't think this sport will ever realise what he's brought it or how big he's made it.”

I hope he does say something about what cycling is like now (even though he only retired 2yrs ago ) but I doubt he will.

Now Lance is a bitter ex-doper he needs to burn the house down!

 

[veganrob]

The bitter ex doper. That is how Sky and the rest will paint him if he burns them. This is a classic example of ya just can't make this *** up. hilarious.

where did the 'ex' doper come from.................as to burning anything down

even lance is not dumb enough to torch himself?

if there is any evidence of sky doping how would lance be the one to know?

How did Brad fall out of love so quickly? or maybe he still loves him?

If anyone can get to the bottom of the love affiar between Bradley and Lance it's Oprah.

I'm looking forward to what Lance has to say. He knows the score. Been around the block a few times. He'll tell us if what we're seeing is clean or not.

 

[JimmyFingers]

Lance won't even mention Sky. The closest you'll get is 'is cycling clean now'. Cancer will feature heavily. Probable narrative as follows.

I was incredibly talented naturally, but the deck was stacked against me. I got cancer and realised you only live once. I wanted to test myself and be the best I could be and I made the difficult choice to do what everybody else (Europeans) was doing. I regret that I had to take drugs to let my natural ability shine through (because of the cheating Europeans). What is done is done, and whilst I regret the drug taking, I won't apologise for taking my story of hope to cancer sufferers. *Lists achievements of foundation*. I am committed to this cause in the future.

Trying to connect Sky to Lance is a little desperate. Why is he in a position to blow the whistle on them anyway?

I guess he wouldn't grow his hair to shoulder length, dye it blond and change his name to Linda
