I have to say Vinney is not looking so good these days. Woods looks fine.

Vinnecombe was renound for walking around naked at track meets in Melbourne. I think I know why now! Think he is a little bit Brighton Pier.

My favourite story was from some kilo where he was off last and the guys coming 1st and 2nd said, when asked how they thought they would hold up vs Vinnicombe, "Well, he might always break his bike." :D

If anyone wants to know the evils of steroid abuse that era is good to study.

Pate, Vinny, Neiwand all had severe health and mental issues. Pate and Neiwand went to jail.

I remember the days down at Nortcote velodrome Pate would drink a beer before a race, ride off scratch and catch the front markers on the first lap!

He did have the tendency to hook guys and punch them in the face whilst riding also. All class.

Those were the days.

darren clarke was caught also I heard, doing a drug run by cops, had a roscoe in his boot
scott miller, the pill press, the steroids, the cash, the safe.

who else. All AIS athletes. This is NOT a good legacy for individuals. Stuff sport and the institute and bodies. They are for w@nkers like John Coates

OGrady has got in 3 fights I know of, publically, when Millar, Vogels, and him were pistol whipped in Toulouse by locals, one in Monaco about 5 years back with CJ Sutton, and the one with (against) Darryn Hill. OGrady giving perhaps 20kgs away in that fight. *redhead, respect for the grinta

"A senior Australian cycling figure"... Let's see if this one's credentials qualify him...

Here's what Martin Vinnicombe's ex manager, major cycling event organizer, life member of Cycling NSW, executive member of NSW Cycling and a Board member of Cycling Australia, and now on the UCI arbitration panel, had to say about USADA recently (27 Aug):

"Sydney's Phil Bates, a member of the international cycling union's arbitration tribunal, yesterday described USADA's actions against Armstrong as unenforceable and described the organisation's chief executive Travis Tygart as an "egomaniac publicity hunter".
...
"If USADA believes Armstrong has a case to answer, the ultimate judge should be the UCI, not a publicity-seeking chief executive hellbent on a witch-hunt to chop down the tallest poppy in our sport."
Bates said the rules relating to what powers a doping agency has were quite clear. "USADA, or any other national anti-doping agency for that matter, is there to test for illicit drugs, nothing more, nothing less," he said. "It has no legal right to strip an athlete of his race wins, Olympic medals or prizemoney.
"People will make up their own minds about Armstrong after he stopped his legal battle, but from where I sit Tygart's actions should be seen as nothing more than a witch-hunt.
"Everything I've read of the USADA case has been driven by Tygart and against Armstrong built on hearsay evidence provided by a small group of riders who rode with him more than 12 years ago, and some of whom are still competing today."

Fascinating how small the cycling community is.

Gary Sutton, NSW Institute of Sport's head cycling coach.

Brother of Shane Sutton, head coach team Sky.

Father of Chris Sutton, team sky rider.

All from St George cycling club, together with Vinnicombe and Bates. And Matt White.

Small world.

Phill Bates is Gary and Shane's brother in law. His comments about Armstrong are most likely straight off a UCI script. Phill is also close with Jan Ullrich so most likely knows the real deal with Armstrong.

Vinnicombe knows lots, has had time on the Aus sprint team and plenty of time in Europe.

MV lived in Europe with a training partner, the French trackie in the 80s 90s who went to become a dealer to riders in Nice. Philippe Boyer. http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Philippe+Boyer

MV will tell you himself, so dont take my word. I could well have my facts wrong.

Like MV said in the interview, you have to pony up when the big boys bring their guns.

Dum dum dum daaaaaa!

Cycling Australia has urged former top rider Martin Vinnicombe to cooperate with an investigation into doping in cycling, responding to the 1988 Olympic kilo silver medallist’s assertions that a current high profile individual in the sport helped him receive an injection during his career.

The 47 year old made the claim this week to ABC’s 730 Report. “There are still people existing in cycling at the moment, in powerful positions, (who) at one point in their careers were exposed to doping and knew about doping methods,” he said then.

“It was known you'd have a sudden drop in blood pressure, therefore you needed someone there to assist you,” he said. “At that time [name bleeped out] was a person I trusted and thought he would assist me and he did so. He was present in the room.”

While the programme didn’t name the person concerned, it stated that he is now “a senior Australian cycling figure.”

This will break it open. It really will. Charlie Walsh to Kathy Watt to Stuart O'Grady and so on.

Charlie's angles won't last this one. Once Vinnie speaks they'll know of all of it.

Aussie cycling is in for a very big and long confessional.

I'm glad. Look at Pate and Neiwand. They're basket cases now. It's very sad what happened to them both.

Many others as well. Sadly the doping kept going after that era even with the Mark French affiar and so on.

The Aussies in Monaco should be worried.

don't imagine you'd accept that line from anyone else, now, would you? If you have info, tell the authorities...it's not hide and seek, guys, it's real life.

Man up.
