Armstrong asks for putting a leash on the mad dogs
http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/07/new...st-usada_228381

all this shit has to come out at the most prestigious race of the year... i am wondering if this anti-doping association are attention whores or wat ... can't this shit wait... this is a bunch of dudes that has not much of a future and relation to current cycling... they can go dig up some more useful shit on some current riders...

so what if armstrong gets indicted?? his 7 tour victories will go to riders that are no better, Alex Zuelle (confessed to doping in festina scandals of 98), Ullrich (confessed to doping during deutsche telekom days with the now famous "you can have my maillot jaune, bald eagle bjarne riis" after much digging in his backyard and mental breakdowns), Andreas Kloden (not proven but suspected), Ivan Basso (confessed doper)

give up already, you idiots...

maybe new evidence just popped up? somebody spilled the beans only recently?

anyway, it's like indonesian sinetron or venezualan soap opera; new twists to the stories are made when it becomes mundane.

it's like my ex girlfriend suddenly appearing to tell my current girlfriend's that i have a cock the size of a french fry (shoestring type) while in fact i have made her scream in bed over and over again when we were at it...

it's a question of who is telling the truth... there are people who said they didn't do it... defended like hell and insisted and swore on their unborn child's head that they didn't do... then admit to doing it after sometime... (landis, hamilton and ullrich)

then there is people who said they didn't do it... still insisted that they didn't do it after they returned from ban (valverde, vino) and got caught again in the act of it, preliminary admitted to doing it and then switch statements to say they didn't do it (ricco)....

i do understand why wiggins calls the journos a bunch of f@cking wankers when they try to relate the entire team Sky to the USPS domination back in Lance's 7 tour wins... yes, it makes for interesting stories... but one that drags on for years and years is just nonsense... even the contador clenbuterol case have died down after he was banned...

they are either damn good liars or there are script writer in the UCI cooking this shit up...

first it was with F1... now, cycling too... wat sport do i have to watch next that has no BS... Curling???

is that even a sport ??? i'd rather bore myself to death with curling... even though i don't comprehend at the very least what they are trying to achieve...



it's jus a bunch of guys who pushes a stone around the ice rink and another 2 idiot trying to masturbate the ice rink hoping that it will orgasm and squirt out a gush of mountain dew that will shoot the stone up into the air and possibly kill a spectator by landing it on the head...

i can't figure out how they can write a scandal script for a sport like curling...

at least for the hot dog eating competition.. i can imagine someone cooking up some sick scandal like accusing someone of practicing deep throathing at home and enhancing their swallowing performance...

repeated but doesn't mean you are cutting corners on the limit after you've learned them to shave time.. the only thing was disrupted rhythm for stopping for lights...

you still riding on drops or you have clip-ons already?

either that or you get this...

that is one super-sweet looking sidi! but i wonder how the top closure can be adjusted. like the current one, can be adjusted one notch up and one notch down.

i thought the boa straps was kinda cool... hell, i wanted one.. but too expensive for me...

yeah... patty mcquaid is known for being a knob... and that shows how much of a president he is for not knowing his own rulebook... he is eating his own words this time round... he should just keep it to himself...

but then, there is nothing out there that says that what will happen if a UCI rider were to be found working with them.. do they get suspended automatically or is there something to happen or the banned fella gets banned further...

i mean they can still work secretly with any UCI rider without anyone knowing since they dun own a UCI license anyways... they dun lose what they do not have in the first place... like what the journos said about ferrari still working with armstrong post 2009 in secrecy... how much of it is true we will never have an idea...

the erectric wire set must be fake cina mali punya la... plug it in and your Di2 will have automatic gearbox function... shift gears on all the wrong timing

yeah... maybe voeckler was smelling the spit by his french haters.. YUCKS!!!

on the other hand... i dunno whether to feel sorry for him or wat... last year he was the darling of the french public.. and some case open by some french judge this year that they were injecting vitamins intravenously suddenly made them a bunch of haters... to the point where they were spitting and cursing at this dude... suddenly hero to zero... and he rode through all the shit with knee pains and aching body as he said...

that bad huh? last time he was the darling.

like the article said, can't take away something not already there. but what UCI should be doing is to figure out how to ensure riders won't go near the banned witch doctors.

i had some probs with boa closure

there is ways no matter wat rules they try to put in the UCI bible...the only way is to violate their sole human rights by planting a GPS locator in their skull and make it impossible to take out without UCI consent or it will self detonate along with killing the rider...

else, they can just wear a clown mask.. waltz through the streets into the house of this dudes and dudettes... get their hormone imbalanced, blood thickened, and no one will ever know unless someone blows the whistle... backstabbing exists in cycling too.. not just a fully furnished air-conditioned office environment where b****es and botches are pointing fingers at each other....

that's just like the same scenario with the FIA wanting to put a budget curb on F1 back 2 years ago... how are they gonna govern how much the teams spend rite... they can jus under-declare everything... like a V10 2400cc Ferarri engine for 500 euros and a carbon fiber chassis for 1250 euros... shit won't know...

the other point which raises eyebrows is this... and i've been pondering... USADA claims that they have evidence that armstrong doped in 2009 and 2010 during his 2nd comeback... just because they can't use the frozen samples from his 7 tour wins which has already been over 8 years and UCI does not consider it usable anymore which also furthermore have been argued by armstrong's legal team that the earlier 1999/2000 specimens have been mishandled by AFLD and cannot be used to produce evidence against him as the results are skewed...

and this leads us to think deeper and something else pops up... greg lemond's accusation that alberto was doping on the stage to verbier in 2009 where he achieved an so claimed impossible VAM of 1920 meters / hour... a record that toppled Bjarne Riis's 1996 record to hautacam on the same year he won the tour against the mighty indurain... and also one that he confessed to doping and (funnily) inviting ASO to go to his house to collect the maillot jaune if they are interested in disqualifying him...

so, the major point... did contador doped in 2009 in light of lance armstrong's although being an old ass and could not keep up with him... what about Schleck then... he got dropped on verbier, but he wasn't too far off...lemond might be the only happy fool in this situation...

not to mention andreas kloden who was on the team during that period and potentially a tour winner if they disqualify lance during his 7 tour wins... it will tarnish kloden as well for a tour winner whether they want to investigate if the entire astana 2009 / radioshack 2010 team doped or not...

and then wat about 2010... where contador was accused of using clenbuterol... and that was the same year that Andy Schleck dropped his chain on port de bales and having to ride angrily to close an easily 1 minute gap at the top of the climb to the front end group... arguably he was riding on adrenaline... but then he also blitz contador on morzine-avoriaz to the point that contador could not respond... tried to ride contador off his wheels and matched contador's single burst of attack up the col du galiber on the penultimate mountain finish...

totally not defending lance here... but... this makes you wonder, if he doped and rode so poorly... isn't the rest, wiggins in 2009, schleck brothers and alberto doping as well since they are doing more or less or better than lance in those years that USADA claimed he dope...

also the questionable retirement announcement of big george that he will officially sign off right after the tour... does he know that this is coming or is it deep down he really did doped in the USPS days with the team...which also drags in the other americans like vande valde and dave zabriskie...

this is gonna drag a lot of people down... i bet.. if he was to be prosecuted..

he wore the yellow jersey in france's most coveted race for a whole 10 days... during a time where there were no french tour winner for more than 20 years... imagine why the public does not idolize him during that time...

bet he didn't think that some twisted story whether it was true or fake would turn the public against him so fiercely...

probs? sounds serious for something costing so much....well, like they say... why complicate things right.. let's stick to velcro...

hamilton and landis did blow the whistle and try to drag the boss in... but the fact that both hamilton and landis is no longer trust worthy for trying to get people to believe they did not dope and then turned around to say they did after the whole fiasco makes them un-trust worthy to begin with... jus good entertainment providers is what they are

USADA or the federal prosecutors in the previous criminal case did hinted that hincapie and other USPS team members provided details on the systematic doping ring but did not provide proof or full details... and hincapie denied doing so... whether who was telling the truth.. no one knows at this point...

but this is stupid since, if they know and possess the evidence.. just push it out and shut this dopers once and for all.. and if there are some rules preventing this... they know the usual trick of leaking info out to the immoral journos and let it spread.. i am sure this is not the first time they have done that...

they are jus a bunch of attention whores like i say...

french, emo? took things too seriously?

velcro, boomproof and bulletproof. haha

i have that spez s-works with boa. what i really love about the boa is how easy it is to adjust the fit. what i don't like about it is, 1) the steel cable can get rusty overtime, 2) u have to put some lube at some parts of the boa closure and that can attract dirt and get dirty overtime, 3) the plastic plate where the screw that hold the dial goes in is not strong enough. i broke mine after i removed the dial and screwed it back in.

hincapie didn't deny nor did he admit talking to USADA last time. but after that i think last month he publicly said he agreed to cooperate with them.

the french always takes the wrong things seriously... like armstrong winning his 7 tours... utter hatred... he came back and then suffered while whining like a baby that bruyneel is not giving him enough love and accused contador of being like the baddie in school... the french loved him... i can't really understand the french mindset...

the boa shoes are that bad huh... more reasons other than $$$ to stay away from it...

you got shoe fetish or wat??? you have sidis and you have spez...

whether he did or not... no one knows... but he was subpoenaed by jeff novitzky for the criminal investigation into USPS... whether USADA actually got what evidences from that investigation on one knows...

shit is going down... or it will just get forgotten like agent J just flash a big ass MIB neuralizer at all of us after the tour is over...

eventually things will cool down and swept under the rug. until a few years later somebody says something and open up a can of whoopass... sorry, a can of worms

the shoes are good. the boa functionality is superb. just that the durability. that's all. if u can live with replacing the boa once a year or two, and have it done by an authorized shop, the shoes are a winner. i love the fit.

i bought the sidi when i my spez boa broke. and when i got it replaced, i end up with two pairs! i've always wanted a sidi anyway.

much like politics... the "oh, wasn't that you butt naked with a prostitute in that youtube video" when someone is in the process of getting elected...

well... if no drama... we got nothing to talk about rite laugh.gif

it's too rich in the first place... spending a cool 50 bucks to replace the boa strings is not really too cool...
