I believe I called him a drug dealer, which is exactly what he is (or was). He used his second chance to preach about the evils doping while selling to 200 people without any medical support. At least Ferrari and Fuentes had medical degrees. Utter scumbag who is now apparently an anti-doping crusader as that's the only door left open to him. Of course the Asylum love him because he tells them what they want to hear. It looks like he found a more lucrative door to push at.
Rant over. Now let's get back to silly jokes.Twitter: @RichN950 -

To be fair, a significant number of posters over there thought much the same as you and told him to his face (well, his avatar, really) long before this latest episode. At the time of his sentencing a year ago, it wasn't exactly all tea and sympathy over there.
But you're right, far too many people did give him a free ride because of the whole "my enemy's enemy" thing.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -

Its worth reading the entire thread in the Asylum - RaceRadio is not the only one to have had his identity gleaned by Papp. Future Publishing don't exactly come out of this smelling of roses either.
( It should be pointed out that while Papp misrepresented his position to get the information, he didn't hack the system. Other members either willingly gave personal details or made errors in which email accounts they used to privately communicate with him - which is what happened in RaceRadio's case.)'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -

It's Phil Liggett, isn't it. He's a double-agent - the dim-witted, public acts of fawning over LA were just a front.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -

It's always so dramatic in the states.
It's just a bloody internet forum.

It probably is. I'll be honest. Haven't had time to properly look at it.
Let me put it this way.
As moderator I can see the e-mail adress with which you registered your bikeradar account to.
Similarly I can see the IP address for every post you make.
Now, I knew that when I signed up to bike radar. Hence my pseudonym and my e-mail adress which relates to my pseudonym rather than me.
I also understand I take a risk that people can work out where I'm posting from if they really really want to. I reckon, to someone of my (un)importance, that doesn't really matter.
I'd reckon if I was leaking information on Armstrong, and reasonably high level stuff at that, given his rep, I'd try and be pretty bloody careful about the information I gave out to an internet forum.0 -

A VIP forum, don't you just love it?
There probably is one on BR already but only the certain few know about it.
Shame to see all of this identity digging as I rather like the "masked ball" approach of a forum. However, don't you find that there are always a certain few who love to tell you that they are "in the know" as to certain identities but couldn't for their life repeat such info. :roll:0 -

Did you not know about it? It's hidden in the track section of the forum. Nobody goes there...0 -

I love the self importance!. the clinic is a scary place for LA, UCI and others. The very publically visible virtual interactions that take place here among people really in the know who are able to put one and one together do not take place anywhere else. It's not too hard to see the law/PR firms working for LA or UCI A. trying to work out who the ring leaders here are and put some "negation tactics in place if required B. trying to mess with the threads. For these guys there is simply too much at stake, they want to keep things flying under the radar as much as possible
2. CN clearly does not realize the inherent value of its forum (particularly the clinic), how to safeguard this (eg better moderation), how to leverage it much more strongly (commercially), AND how to look after its key contributors. And this plays into the hands of LA/UCI... Indeed maybe some other party will be more "aware"."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

The whole place is drowning in its own self-importance. And it's taking the 4 good posters down with it.0

If you're talking self-importance, look no further than Daniel Benson IMO..
But its down to earth and appropriately sardonic over here...
