UCI protest
What about a collective protest to the UCI. Like others I am sick to death of the continuing, and blatant, doping in pro cycling and the inactive responses of the UCI, McQuaid and his useless cohorts. Should you wish to join me the e-mail address is [email protected].
A previous poster indicated that the Astana gang will clean up in the TDF. I wonder how much 'out of competition' testing has been carried out in Khazakstan? Where have Vinokourov, Kloedon etc been hiding all winter. Answers on a postage stamp. Similarly watching the Italians in the Giro, it is beyond belief, domestiques previously unable to climb the stairs now scaling huge cols at great speed.
My e-mail to the UCI demands that they take positive action and stop pretending that all is well. It isn't, the sport is corrupt and needs a kicking. Others talk of cycling being a beautiful sport, it isn't, todays racing is sordid and sadly totally unbelievable. We have team managers, doctors and sponsors still encouraging doping with no action being taken to prevent or deter their activities.
Race day testing is a complete waste, spend what money is available chasing and testing riders away from the races.
Perhaps if others more linguistically talented than I could encourage similar forums in France etc to join us, we could make a difference.
Final rant, now that Cheater Riis has come out of the closet perhaps the Irish mafia could do the same and accept that Kimmidge was right.

Why didn't he say anything whilst he was still a rider? And yet he now takes everyone else to task because they don't spit in the soup. Can you tell me what the difference is?
His latest rant against Kelly in the Sunday Times shows how bitter and twisted he is.
Don't put Kimmage on a pedestal. He took drugs, he's a cheat, he didn't fess up until his career was over.

Well yes, but he did choose to end his career prematurely , and he did fess up pretty much as soon as he retired. (I'm aware that he wasn't a great pro, but I think that he could have had a 10 year career in the sport as a solid domestique if he'd had the heart for it).
I will agree that he hasn't done much constructive since though.

As long as the Labs leak unconfirmed results and the UCI / WADA / McQuaid condemn riders without due process, they do as much damage to the sport as the dopers.
I have no problem with banning a guilty rider, but I do have a problem with McQuaid et al offering the rider to the press ona golden platter before the B sample is tested.

People on this forum knew what was going on before the phonak statement....
The real problem with things like this is that the result is the lab knew who's B sample they were testing which violates a standard.
mcquaid's comments to the press came before the landis phonak statement.

Agreed.....but importantly it wasn't the labs!!! Is it more than possible the labs are actually OK and the problem with leaking info actually lies from within the UCI.
