Will Contador Be Juiced Up Again Upon His Return

[hrotha]

Only one in the Clinic nowadays. That isn't too bad.

 

[Savant12]

Some would say Omerta is the worst hypocrisy in pro-cycling and Contador has always been one of its leading ambassadors. He has been up there in the pro-peleton longer than a Froome or Wiggins.

Love Contador as a rider but he's on the sauce just as much as anyone.

Exactly! To say otherwise (after knowing his past history), is just foolishness.

Who the hell said otherwise?

Umm, a few here?

That's just stupid. People were discussing if Contador was as much of a hypocrite as other riders. NOT if he is doped or not.

This sentence:
"Love Contador as a rider but he's on the sauce just as much as anyone."
Had absolutely nothing to do with the discussion. Completely random statement. There was no discussion whether people like Contador or not or whether he dopes as much as others.

I already stated why Contador is a hypocrite given his advocacy for clean riding in a clean sport. His claim of riding amongst the top riders who are more likely to be clean than dropped riders. Completely random? Maybe, I should just post a picture of Contador eating a steak and let the clinic draw its conclusion.

But he looks like an alien
Zam says Alberto looks like ET. I have no issues with it. Changing riders' names to incorporate "doping" or whatever is just boring and cheap.

And most of all FUNNY

No, it's just infantile and says more about the person making the insult than it does about the rider being insulted.

Re: Re:

Fair enough. I can respect your viewpoints. I think people use the Clentador type nicknames because they dislike him.

I use Contadoper for a few reasons:

1) he's a doper. Doesn't matter when, but he is. Probably is still.
2) it's funny
3) he's a hypocrite and a liar
4)i can.

What I find funny is how butt hurt folks get about stuff like Contadopers nicknames, yet We've all at some point, called Wonderboy(& his merry band of dopers) named too, and people are fine with that and continue calling him various names.

You can speak only for yourself and definitely not me.

People get butthurt so easily. And now he is pretty much forced to abandon it because if he continues using it after he was asked about it, it will seem like he doesn't care.

Might never again get to use his silly celebration anyway, mind he can comfort himself as he negotiates his own tax rate in Switzerland

That's funny cause Trump is probably most similar to some of the xenophobic Anglo cycling fans who suspect all non-Anglosaxon riders.

And just what is this past history you refer to? The only "provable" drug violation is his clen violation in 2010. That showed he had 50 trillionths of a gram of clen in 1 mL of blood. Every credible pharmacologist in the world would testify it is impossible for that amount of clen to have had a performance enhancing effect. The only reason he was suspended was because of strict liability!

Please, once and for all, show us the evidence that on a balance of probabilities (50.01% vs 49.99%) would prove to us, on the lowest standard possible, Contador is a doper and not the abject speculation, the conjecture, the hollow assumptions and presumptions, the guilt because he is a top rider, the guilt by association or the usual specious and hysterical reasoning of the Clinic, or saying so in order to be on the Clinic bandwagon, or the deficient power "analyses, or the blood transfusion theory and the traces of phthalates theory both of which the CAS properly debunked and ruled as clearly lacking in proof.

You mean like the evidence or info that was used to strip him of a Tour win? Doping is doping, no matter how little or A LOT you do. Wonderboy beat the "tested 500 times" mantra to death, Howd that work out for him?

Alberto doped, then tried blaming it on something he ate, as if to laugh in the face of anyone who questioned him.

Well thank goodness I Didn't make that statement, even though it's most likely true.

But I bet you've at some point here, referred to a doper as something other than their original name? I'm sorry you're so offended by me making fun of a doper. Had he not been busted for doping, he wouldn't be a target of ridicule.

I'm Sorry I've contributed to tarnishing your hero's image.

I. believe I did And definitely would not. Seems this offensive butthurtness has been seen before by MANY Armstrong fans, to which I still have to lol at.

Now that Contadoper is the target, it's not so "funny" anymore to some is it? Hypocrisy at it's finest. Seems there's around 74%(according to the poll here) of folks who think like I do, that he's a doper and is most likely still doping. Had he not been busted for doping, I probably wouldn't make fun of him, you are in the clinic. We don't hide things here and there's no real PCness here.

So your response is that everyone else has to be just as juvenile as yourself and thus that makes it alright? I'm sure you can do better than that.

Lol! Where did I say that? Again, I'm sorry I've offended your hero's image. Who kicked you in the feels? Contadoper, Contadoper Contadoper.

The direction of this thread has taken a turn to bickering and personal insults.

Please post comments in an impersonal, respectful manner.

Let's move on now.

 

[pastronef]

it seems the guy in the background thinks Alberto will be juiced up.
