I've never knowingly taken any performance enhancing drugs!

Just want to put that on the record at this stage. Before the finger pointing starts.

I've NEVER failed a drugs test and there have never been any unexplained spikes in my performance.

I may start a foundation just in case.

    While we're at it, can I opt out of the Olympics?

    I have taken drugs and I'm going to the Olympics - so screw you all.

    I can confirm the rumours that I have evidence that I may have taken 'Preparation H' in the run-up to a major tournament (the pub quiz at the local)... but I'm going to sit on it for a while.

    Does a few pints of beer before a darts or pool match count? Well known fact that both games are easier after a couple of beers.

    Rick's rise from obscurity to PTP GC contender doesn't seem right to me.

    He seems well in with BR establishment too.

    There's more than bread and water going on there....

    Right, from now on I'm covering the 'pooter's camera with gaffer tape whenever I submit my PTP pick... I thought I could see an eyeball.

    If that's the case then judging by my PTP performances over the past few editions it should be obvious I'm as clean as a whistle.

    Oh, don't be so naive. AFX is the Dr Ferrari of this forum. We place our orders via PTP

    Now, I have to go back to work on my PTP picks. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the Pro Race people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work on my PTP picks. Thank you.


    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Yes, but he's dutch so will probably not live up to the hype in the end.

    Aha! So that's the code.

    That last batch I got from afx was useless and tasted awful.

    That's the last time I select Valverde, Gilbert, Sieberg and Lövkist.

    I did take drugs once but I had a note that said I could. I couldn't find the note at the time but found it a day later.

    I only took an iron injection and it helped me to go from being off the back in the mountains of the Giro to near the top of the ITT and a Tour title!

    I have taken performance enhancing drugs. Pele recommended them to me.

    None of the drugs I take enhance my performance. Just because I appeared from nowhere to take Giro at first attempt, and am now sinking steadily through the rankings, it isn't at all suspicious.

    My dip in form during the Dauphine and TdS is NOT suspicious.

    I must have eaten something bad.

    Indeed, the other one that seems to get used often in that situation is the mysterious "knee injury".

    I only tried to take drugs so there will be no dip in my performance levels after my ban.

    I am old-style and follow my heroes from the Tour of Garin, Aucouturier and Fischer and only take alcohol.

    In reasonable doses, natch.

    I seem to remember Britney Spears using the knee injury excuse. Think I'll give it a miss as in her case it seemed to make her chest grow significantly!

    I have never doped.

    I had such good form last year and took PTP glory in my neo pro year. Naturally no one can keep such good form for extended periods of time, hence my lack of form this year.


    Think that should get me off the hook ;)

    Well I had a mediocre classics season and am now off on my own preparing for the TdF as my sole/make or break objective of the season. Clearly this suggests I am PTPing in cycles and have thus never doped.
