Contador. Decisions, decisions.

Judging by Wiggins little tweet battle with Cycling Weekly today, it seems unlikely he's going to Sky.
And there's a recent interview with Vaughters where he suggests it would take a lot of notes to buy Bertie out of his contract.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
I hope Contador doesn't change to focus from being the best allround cyclist in the world, to becoming the best part-time cyclist in the world.
Getting off his bike in July, as MG pointed out, has got Armstrong a lot of stick in the past.
If Contador also now suffers from "fatigue", having ridden a light Spring campaign, the Dauphine and the Tour, he should get stick, too.
Plenty, IMO."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
I admit to being confused.
I believe that Contador has doped in the past.
I dislike dopers.
But I rather like Contador.
I love Garmin.
I want Garmin to win a Grand Tour.
I would jump up and down and squeal with delight if Garmin could sock it to Armstrong by winning the Tour with Contador. (And I'd fall into orgasmic ecstasy if they could win with Wiggins).
But I would forever worry that Contador had doped to win, and how would Garmin look when/if he tested positive.
Vaughters must have investigated AC pretty thoroughly to even contemplate hiring him. Or rather, paid a haematologist a lot of cash to do so.
Which would indicate that he is now riding clean.
But he's ridden for the Hog for the past few years.....
And so on and so on.
Can someone square this circle for me?0 -

Vaughters posted about this on the cyclingnews forum a few weeks ago (username JV1973). He said that he had only met AC for dinner once to discuss possiblities (when it looked like Astana might collapse pre-Tour). He said he hadn't got to the stage of asking to see blood profiles. He also said he had heard from 'very good sources' (his words) that AC was clean.
Whether anything has changed since then - who knows.Twitter: @RichN950 -

I stop commenting on the Big Tex thread because of your immature antics and so you come on to this thread to find entertainment. Really your lifes must be sad if that is all you can do. Never offering anything of value. Grow up. You are likely twice or thrice my age but with half as much maturity, control and common sense.
That was a classic post.
Laughed myself silly.0 -
mg,
You are a vile person to call me what you did. There could be a few reasons why you resorted to it:
Lack of self control - "He who angers you, conquers you"
Lack of ability to express yourself without resorting to despcable words.
General low level character.
I ccould not reply in kind to you as none of the above apply to me.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Congrats MG. You are now officially a low life, out of control, despicable, something or another. FF said it on the web. It must be true. What did you call him? Must have been great stuff. PM me with more info if you can. He(or she) has been getting a bit "dramatic"
of late(to say the least). Definitely got some "sort" of AC thing going.0 -
What? There's PM's flying around too? And we're missing out on part of the soap opera? I thought rule #2 of the internet was to do everything in public, right behind #1 "Never pay for porn". Flamewars must be waged in public! We're on page 2 already so you only have one page left to get to calling someone a Nazi. :roll:
Edit: Oh no! I made it go into the Nazi page myself.0 -

FF starts a thread and doesnt like the way its going and then PMs other posters to vent his spleen..........highly amusing actually especially when he attacks other posters for being immature and childish..........long may he stick around he is good entertainment.Gasping - but somehow still alive !0 -

It was easy enough for you to turn this post into something about Hitler and the Nazis,
but do you have the courage to mention the "L" word?0 -
I didn't mention Hitler! That's reserved for page 5. I'm all for talking about iain's L-word, though...0

Guys, this thread is awesome :-) I'm quite amused by the bitching going on between FF and MG...
Just as a matter of interest, how old is FF? Judging by his responses to messages on here, he sounds like a petulant child!! :-D2010 Lynskey R230
