The Clinic is inherently anti-Sky / anti-Froome

When Froome crashed and then crashed out there were pages and pages of posts, many of which were very anti and showed huge amounts of vitriol, and few that didn't.

Today Contador crashes out and there is virtually nothing.

Discuss and debate ...

I posted all my Contador vitriol over his steak fairy tale. Contador has been stacked neatly on the shelf in Yesterday's Dopers corner. Froome exemplifies the current arrogance and hypocrisy of now.

I would never wish for anyone to crash. Froome testing positive would have given me much more pleasure.

Another reason: I don't get bombarded by the British media with nonsense about how Contador is reading clean... but they're determined to try to sell me the miracle Froome story.

It's not just the doping, it's the insult to my intelligence.

The clinic is inherently anti-doping.

The clinic already knows Contador dopes.

The clinic highly suspects Froome to be doping.

Once Froome is popped, the clinic will move on to the next "outta nowhere" GC contender.

Also, Froome is too obvious and blatant. He just rubs it in everyones face. And the bots make it even more annoying. Not to forget his book and love affair with Walsh, and all the other nonsense propaganda and its not hard to figure out why Froome is the most despised doper here.

IMO, if everyone was riding clean, Contador would probably be the best GC rider in the world.

Froome would be a water carrier.

IMO I am the tallest man in the world.

Well, Spud. Sky and Froome have been "inherently" (<-- I do not think that word means what you think it means) having a laugh at our expense. Guess people don't take kindly to that...

The clinic is highly suspect of any team that rides like Radioshack

The clinic knows that any rider that beats Radioshack times in the hills, isn't doing it all on Cranberry juice !

based on what facts?

Every victory, every attack has been boosted and created by unapologetic O2 vector doping. Every single thing you know about him is connected to a doped performance.

So the fact that Contador has served a doping ban means he gets less vitriol than Froome when he crashes out? What kind of crazy logic is that?

Sure you can suspect Froome / Sky and accept Contador but, really (?) does that justify some of the *** (and I mean real, personal, derogatory ***) that had been thrown Froomes way?

Is Ms Cound back?

I can feel the love emanating from my monitor now. Seriously, I'm not sure what you are reading where, but it might be helpful to post some example posts.

It's true we have polite digs at Mrs. Cound every once in a while, but it comes with the territory.

did Contador write a book full of petty garbage, slagging competitors and teammates, stretching the truth, relating his bunny-kidnapping-and-killing viciousness? Does Contador have a mouthpiece/girlfriend going crazy and alienating as many as possible on social media?

Froome has shown himself to be a complete ******bag.
If you can't see how that could lead to vitriol, you're blind.

And, if your biggest worry is that Contador crashed out and there's simply not enough hate shown towards him afterwards, you're pathetic as well as blind.
 
What you have to do with the clinic is try to ignore certain posters (if they say skybot it is a good sign to ignore them), the clinic is different people with different thoughts and agendas , but if you can keep away from the sky threads can give some good info on dopers and what is going on.

The others to ignore are those who quite happily support convicted dopers but call out others who have neither had any doping test failure or any witnesses to them doping, obtaining dope etc, these posters tend to be full of bs

Anyway I think some posters in the clinic are actually even more anti David Walsh than Sky, they are doing Lance's work for him:D

The Clinic isn't inherently anti anything. Seems in here it's more just like a bunch of dudes
with an informal agreement to almost never-ever-ever! say any thing good about the sport of cycling.
Paraphrasing someone in here a couple days ago, Shed whatever kind of light you like on Kittel, just make sure
it's a black light.

The clinic is small part of a bigger forum. Plenty who post in the clinic post elsewhere in CN.

The posts in the clinic represent a side of the sport that is dark. The clinic did not create that dark side of the sport.

Plenty of evidence today of the dark side.

I have no doubt that that's true. That's why I used the "in here" bit.
