Question for Blackcat - As each day unfolds the similarities between the Sky Jiffy bag and the EFC 34 are unerring - Give me your opinion ?
I need to post again that Dr Freeman will be the ' fall guy ' for this episode - UKAD by publically leaking details of an on-going investigation are lining up Freeman to be charged with trafficking in prohibited substances.
As much as everyone thinks I am anti-British, and anti-Froome/Wiggins, and anti-Sky I am not.
because, it is my opinion, they are zero different.
put on the JohnNash economic Game Theory lens...
the only reason they are different, is because they have the resources behind them.
Switch Edita Rumsas, for Motoman/MichelleCound/Cope.
Switch Raimondas Rumsas, to the same circumstances, of Wiggins/Froome or Armstrong/Beloki/Ullrich. Rumsas wins multiple yellow jerseys too.
Essendon, were just bring PEDs more inhouse, in a more professional institutional structural program. Now, West Coast had something with Dean Capobianco's trainer in the late 80s and early 90s. Carlton(Carlton!) had a bodybuilding trainer who owns bodybuilding gyms, hardcore gyms, Tony Doherty! Probably Hawthorn had something going on in the 80s. Essendon was merely the structural program evolving. Soccer in Europe have had it for nigh on fifteen years before Hird ever became coach.
the paradox is, the Insider rule, they do nothing wrong, but the Outsider rule, where they have to navigate society's norms, criminal law, government supervision, PR, and fan support, that is a paradox that cannot possibly navigate, even Rudolph Nuryev walking and dancing the tightrope could not.
yes, I see parallels. I also do not think they are fundamentally any different to any other team. Even Essendon bringing it in house. I am assuming you are the Yaco on Bigfooty I speak to, well, if so, you tell me how Essendon are different from Port Adelaide and their Liverpool fitness trainer, Burgess, when he had them running on top of the ground, lean, losing weight, looked like Die Manneshaft. And North Melbourne have this 'magical' hamstring PhD physiotherapist. hehehehe
It is everyone.
