Todays idiot masters fattie doper

[happychappy]

He races with a mirror on his bike so he can see race marshals coming up from behind.

Jokes aside does it really get any lower than that?

There used to be a guy on the same age-group as Moats, his name is Joe Bonness. This Moats guy was drafting, was doping, but Bonness still beat him. Bonness was also one of the best age-group cyclists in Ironman (overall).

But the catch is... Moats is a huge ******* and Bonness is a very nice guy, his wife is in a wheelchair, etc. Never one accusation of doping about Bonness, even if it was blatant. When a 50-something dude races 2 Ironman's in 7 days and does well at both... amongst other epic "achievements".

Age-group triathlon is very, very dirty. Triathlon might be the only sport where age-group racing is dirtier than professional racing.

Actually the mirror is on his aero helmet. Looking around forums, there are reports of his using one at all triathlons and drafting since the mid 80s when he used to be pro. He has won his age group at Kona twice.

The issue here appears not to be that he was using testosterone. He did not have a TUE. That alone is messed up. There are going to be so many of these chodes with TUEs for testosterone it will distort the results of all age groups beyond forty.

I believe there are dirty age groupers but dirtier than professional racing? Where are amateur Age groupers going to get Autologous blood transfusions from? Reality check please.

How about an English check? Thank you!

 

[Sarcastic Wet Trout]

55 year old triathlete busted for testosterone. Won his Kona age group multiple times in the past. He was tested out of competition. According to people on Slowtwitch, he had a history of cheating by drafting.

Drafting: The gateway drug.

Any wonder the pro peloton is a bunch of dopeheads?

Just say no to drafting.

Phinney is writing his next article saying he never drafts in the pack. Not once.

Front page news today in the Sydney Morning Herald! Story is about possible doping in C Grade!

Well, he might be on Test...Ok, maybe get a TUE for that, not that it has ever been reported that USAC/WADA has actually ever approved one.

But, his wife/girlfriend is friggin ripped as well.

Apparently, she waxes right down to her peenis....

LMAO. That, gentlemen, is funny as hell.

Why is that dude wearing a bikini top?

You cannot make this stuff up. From Slowtwitch:

I think the bigger story is that I heard from a reliable source that while in Kona for the Ironman, Moats took change out of the tip jar at Lava Java to pay his bill( while the server was not looking), then proceeded to take a 1.00 USA Today from the rack...... without paying for that either....true story..... and according to him, he is worth millions.... Like Lance he is a ****, and yes should be banned for life.... unless we place lifetime bans on folks who cheat, hit pro's in the pocket book big time, we will never deter this kind of thing.

And another couple of anecdotes:



Inner circle? You think he has an inner circle? I know one guy who likes him. Nobody else can stand him. We have all known him forever! True story...

My buddy gets into triathlon about 10 years ago and is cycling with a group and meets a guy. They start talking about triathletes in Atlanta. My buddy mentions he has heard Moats is good, but is not the nicest guy. Guy says "He is an a**hole!" My buddy just nods. Guy then says, "It gets better. I am his best friend!"

Only friend.

Another true story... Athens' Triathlon one year, mid 90s. A crummy little tri, but everybody from Atlanta shows up. Moats is leading and runs off course. Guy in second, a few hundred feet back, watches him and doesn't say a word. Guy who was in second ends up winning. Moats argues with race director that he should win since he was in first. RD tells him no. Moats turns to guy who ended up winning and asks why he didn't yell at him. Guy just kind of shrugs and Moats stomps off. Guy who won then turns to the crowd watching and says "If it had been anybody else..."

Here's the mirror:

What a ****.

That back hair is probably costing him a second a kilometer.

Someone took this pic at the Marriot Woodlands at Ironman Texas. The year before someone hung an IV bag from a sprinkler head, setting it off and damaging two floors of the hotel. The hotel now stocks IV hangers.

Hello,
5 Live Investigates at the BBC is trying it find out if doping is an issue in amateur cycling.
We have been told a lot amateur cyclists in the past took drugs used to treat asthma and sometimes amphetamines.
If you can tell us whether or not this is happening now then I’d love to hear from you. Our conversation would be in confidence and for research purposes only. I’m just trying to find out if doping in amateur cycling is something I should spend time looking into.
My direct line is 020 3614 0956 and my email is kirsteen.knight@bbc.co.uk
If you are concerned that I am who I say I am please Google “Kirsteen Knight” + BBC or just Goggle my email address. You will see a small trail where I have looked for people to help me with stories in the past.
Best wishes and thanks for your help.
Kirsteen.

Hahaha. Well here's the problem in a nutshell. Is there doping at the amateur level? Very likely. Without testing, no one knows for sure. That's a hard story to tell.

Have there been weekend warriors busted for PED's? Look up American David Anthony's case. An Italian got busted in the same most amateur of amateur events the UCI sanctions called a Gran Fondo. Mr. Anthony did a DIY doping program and made it work with great effect. The protocols are well-known and generally safe. Sourcing the PED's might be the only problem in some countries. In the U.S. you can get most of them safely prescribed from Anti-Aging clinics.

I would argue the better story is the IOC's bio-passport program is actually an elaborate IQ test that is designed for all but the very stupid athletes to pass. You will make a name for yourself if you can tell that story in a compelling manner. Not an easy task!

 

[Kirsteen]

Thanks for replying. There seems to be more publicised cases of amateur cyclists doping in the US than there is in the UK. The David Anthony case is amazing because he wasn't at the top of amateur cycling yet took EPO! I don't know that it would that easy for amateurs to get hold of EPO in the UK.

I'm not a sports journalist hadn't heard of the IOC's bio-passport program. I will look it up now. Thanks for the tip.
Best wishes, Kirsteen.

To the bolded, I think it works out much better that you have little emotional interest in sports to cover it. If you have no emotional investment, it's easier to see through the manipulation.

As the Armstrong myth has proven, a great deal of effort goes into playing into people's emotions to create something bigger with Pro Sports. Who doesn't want a guy stricken with cancer to win some big sporting event, right? Except it turns out the story, the athlete, his non-profit are a fraud. If you don't have an interest in it, it is much easier to spot the manipulation.

Another story that would not draw the ire of the IOC on you/your employer is doing the Chris Carmichael as USA cycling coach doping Armstrong as a teenager. Plenty of facts available and a very well done story here: http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500164_162-284958.html No one has bothered to put the fact Armstrong was on that team along with Hincapie and others. This story almost writes itself.

Good luck in your endeavours!

His GF is Laura Sophiea. She kicks ***, won her age group again at Kona. Laura is from Michigan, my GF knows her. I met her couple yrs ago at IM Louisville, she was with some of her coaching clients. That picture has to be a few years ago cause she had a boob job when I saw her.
Moats is a total ****** bag. Laura is also loaded on ***.

Richard Meeker

Masters fattie who was cleaning up in SoCal and nationally as an old dude tests positive, no announced suspension for two years, returns to racing in 2014.

Rides for an Amgen sponsored team. "Shocked" a supplement contained a banned substance IN A PRESS RELEASE.

http://cyclingillustrated.com/2013/11/amateur-cyclist-richard-meeker-responds-suspension/

summed up nicely here: http://pvcycling.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/doped/

No announced positive on USADA's site? Nothing on USAC's site?

Since he WAS winning, apparently USAC has no problem with it.

Among all the cheating, the Florida Clean Ride Fund caught some, Yoelkis Aira .

I'm done racing having managed a near-fatal crash in a crit running up to Masters Natz. Having raced against this and other "gentlemen" racers that dope I can tell you they are beatable. What's frustrating is running up against an entire team of them...and you guys in Cal know which teams those are. Seems like a Weisel is never far away.

Is Weisel associated with Meeker's team? I did not think he was.

Not that I know of. He, of course, had the Postal Masters squad and another current group. Some of those guys are quality former pros. I was speaking more to the point of multiple riders within teams that are especially suspect. I remember time trial performances at the Hood River classic where several Masters riders from one SoCal team landed on the podium with pro-credible times. The course designer and multiple World Champion was a minute off the times and very surprised at the times they turned in.
