lets stop talking about doping

ozzzyosborn206

yep thats right i am fed up of the same boring crappy questions and claims, ooo he won a race he must be on the gear. Is there doping in womens cycling? is there doping in Elite and 1st cat races, is there racing in 3rd 4th cat racing. Yea there probably is everywhere on a varying scale and not always intentional but how about we talk about the good and the future of our sport all the young up and coming riders who are dead against doping.


Oh and before you say anything yes i do realise this post is about doping can we make the one of the last ones, bored of it now..

That's true too.

Doping goes back to the 19th Century and Choppy Warburton and his little black bottle.
It seems a lot of people want to talk about it now for some obscure reason. :roll:

Not much else to talk about at the moment unfortunately.But yes it is getting a bit dull...

Yeah, lets do like we did in 90's and start over again in 10 years time... Sounds like the idea of the century.

Go back to sleep or get drunk or just go into hibernation for a few months, please.
The bottle has just been opened and it is still nearly full of revelations and I'm really enjoying the taste but a long way from being drunk.
It really is that good for me to see the cheats brought down.

More cheats brought down for new ones to come in. Aint gonna be a happy ending. It'll just go on and on and on until they stop looking so much.

we could always wait for the skiing to really start on eurosport and then talk about Andreas W4nk jumping off a big hill?

You guys don't watch enough biathlon.

they are all at it too (joke)

But seriously, cross country skiing is pretty good, i think it might be the most knackering sport. I like the alpine skiing season too, all the downhill racing. Eurosport is cool, cycling in summer and skiing in winter. Just a shame that there's an interim period where all they show is rubbish sports like tennis and snooker.

If you like track, how about speed skating? ok, there's no keirin or madison, but it's big in holland. Great fan base too

The only time I ve ever been to a speed skating rink i drove a kart around it!

Yes it was epic fun!

I'm all in for downhill skiing. Anyone over there need a stateside friend(like me) to join
them at your Swiss condo?

Just one complaint about this post though. Snooker???? Rubbish sport??? Oh man that's blasphemous, and I'm from the States no less. Love watching the game and used to play a bit in days gone by.

rick_chasey

No interest in athletes/competitors who only turn left.

Now, the elfstedentocht on the other hand....

To be fair, snooker isn't a sport, it's a pub game.

You should prepare yourself for round 2. It's will be as - if not more - entertaining.

The round is dedicated to a man called Johan.

According to Hemingway there are only three sports,"... mountain climbing, race car driving, and bullfighting. The rest are just games."

Actually, I've changed my mind. Cycling is a sport or a game. It's a way of life!

What about shooting animals? He seems to have missed that one off his list.

He also seems to have followed the sport, as this blog investigates: http://le-grimpeur.net/blog/archives/26

They did a smaller version of that last year, but I just could nt take it seriously because of the hilarious way they have to climb out of the canal and then scamper over the road (or whatever) on their skates. What looks hard and manly is reduced to something that looks like a puppy discovering snow for the first time in a second
