    I can't post a picture as it won't open a high res version in Algeria, but have you seen Arrons e-mail to Pat McQuaid snitching on Jamie Fuller and the CCN thing?

    Basically informing McQuaid about all the nasty things CCN was saying about him and the UCI and letting him know that he things that "his heart is in the right place"

    Seriously that guy is a slipperyer (sic) than a snake covered in jelly

    I'll do it for you (there's another one with him telling McQuaid, at length, how to do his PR, but it's to small to read properly)

    It begs the question as to why, a month or two later, the Cyclismas editor (who is CC in that e-mail) then put him in sole charge of a fund earmarked for opposing McQuaid. This Lesli Cohen really is a weapons grade moron.

    That Not Pat McQuaid was advising Real Pat McQuaid, was forgotten when Not Pat McQuaid was entrusted with the Defence against Real Pat McQuaid fund. It's quite simple.

    @jazzporridge @renovandael Look at the date of the email. It was 6 months before the start of the Kimmage Fund. Forgot I'd been sent a copy."

    The date of the e-mail is clearly 2 December 2012, long after the fund was started - that was started in September 2012. It's only six months before the start of today. (And even if it had been 2011 then it should have stuck in the mind).

    Oh my god that is totes amazeballs as some annoying people say! Is Not Pat McQuaid lecturing to the real Pat McQuaid a shark jumping moment? It really has gone a little through the looking glass for sure.

    Sadly Lesli Cohen shows as much nouse as some of my students. :( Or she's being deliberately obtuse because otherwise she ends up looking like a massive something not very good. Either way she doesn't come out of this very well at all.

    I really don't care about much of who did what, when. But my inner Glaswegian goes grapeshot crazy when glowing morons, and their legion of acolytes, think the rest of us are idiots. I bet Vaughters regrets enabling this troupe of stunt monkeys during one of his campaigns to destabilize UCI. There's no way they would have gained the profile they did based on their own insights, writings, or 'campaigning'.

    Dates - the email above was dated December 2012. The Kimmage fund kicked-off around January 2012. The email that is hard to read where Overlord ( :lol: ) is pitching PR services directly to McQuaid was from March 2012. Aside from any potential financial impropriety, Cohen was publishing work from someone she knew to be a fraud.

    I'd quite like to see some journalists, oft-maligned by these characters, deliver a kicking. Or maybe fearless Digger could swing into action. Sadly, he failed to respond when I asked if he was angry at being kept in the dark that AB was a fraud?

    Paul Kimmage is now writing for the Sunday Independent newspaper here in Ireland.

    He has a good piece in today's paper on Neil and Dan Martin. I never knew that Neil almost signed for Sem-France-Loire with Sean Kelly. It appears he missed out on the slot because a new, Dutch, sponsor was being brought into the team and they went with a Dutch rider instead.

    Kimmage will be doing a daily Tour video update from Wednesday onwards. It can be seen at www.independent.ie/kimmage.

    I haven't even read any of it yet but the picture of the of Aaron Brown makes me want to kick him up the arse.

    None of them come out of it well. They're either dishonest, guillible or incompetent.

    When teams refuse to release blood/power data it is not because they don't want the opposition to see it, it is because they do not want to be judged by people like this. Why risk your reputation with people who would lie to their friends for a buck or aren't technically smart enough to open a Pay Pal account?

    The whole new media anti-doping movement is one big clusterfck of people wanting to grab attention and make a buck.

    Except it's not quite the full story. A few weeks ago Cohen published emails between Brown and Pat McQuaid which date back to March 2012. Cohen was bcc'd. In the emails Brown is offering all sorts of advice to PMQ and appeared to be pitching for work. So all of last Summer and right up to the formation of the fund, Cohen was happy to publish work slamming PMQ, written by a guy secretly pitching to be his 'assistant'.

    I've now asked 3 times why she thinks it was cool to base 'the new cycling' on a blatant lie. The answers have been:
    'Fck ff', 'it's complicated', and "maybe when you're sued for $2m someday, you'll understand what can and can't be said openly. That's it, I'm done. Peace out."

    You can't eat transparency, seemingly.

    Oh dear me.

    Top Tip Paul : You'd have an easier time if you just dug into a few of the Sky people, found their doping links and wheeled it out. Again. At least it wouldn't be as tragic as this
