FTFY too
DDRAVER, changing my post to fit your agenda is a bit lame, I suggest you grow up a bit. I like watching a good race. If your views on doping are so strong, I fail to see how you enjoy any sport let alone cycling. I do not support doping. I am realistic enough to know that in every walk of life you find cheats. My single tone on this topic has been that Contador will make an outstanding challenger for the Sky/Froome attempt at the tour next year. It is a can of worms.0 -
From Russia with love for the haters.

When is your flight to Siberia?Contador is the Greatest0

Can we call an amnesty (but not truth and reconciliation)?
Contador bores the ar&e off me as it is.
And we have SO much more to discuss and dissect.0 -
Wow, you two really are churning the posts out on just about any thread.Contador is the Greatest0

Id say the trouble is at the moment, that we don't
(which could have been your humorous point..)We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Oleg not helping the Saxo world tour cause, Riis must be delighted by his owner's contribution to the doping debate

Young Kittel's response on Twitter is very amusing. Great use of 3 wise monkeyemoticons 0 -
Kittel still on one. Maybe he should get his own house in order. Maybe he is the clever one though and all his vocal anti-doping talk is a smoke screen.
Ps. I like the guy. He is just upset as Tinkoff said the reality which is: 'who knows anyone in Argos'? They have Kittel and Degnekolb but both will likely leave to bigger money.

Looking at the Saxo-Tinkoff squad, with the exception of Contador and Nuyens, it's hardly star studded is it."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0

Kittel does realise there is still a chance he could face a ban doesn't he?
I like Kittel, but he can't be the sharpest tool - anybody with strong anti-doping views would surely try to stay away from needles and blood removal, no?0 -

Nowt to do with credibility, more to do with over-gobbiness (in my case)0 -
to be fair to Oleg, this is a good point...
“As far as I understand it, the topic of doping exists everywhere, in other sports too, but nowhere does it get such phenomenal attention.”0 -

Hm, unfortunately, its not an excuse for cycling though. I would like to see the outcome of every top European league football player being tested on a Saturday morning though. I imagine the outcome would be quite a giggle.0 -

It keeps on coming back to this for some people. David Millar was right when he said that as well as all the other factions in cycling, fans have to share some responsibility for a doping culture in the sport.
Yep, so agree. For the first quote you might as well replace Armstrong circa 2005 for Contador.
It's not exciting when you know it's unreal. I'd much rather watch top clean riders battling it out, rather than the best 5 dopers just because the latter are supposedly more 'exciting'.0 -
I'm sorry but it is utter bollocks to suggest that fans should share some responsibility, how? Millar is laughably wrong, sponsors yes, I hear Nibali is on 3.5 mn Euros per year, that kind of money is tempting a win at any cost mentality. Its all too often the bridesmaids that dope, look at Millar himself; never the bride at the WTT until he doped.
At this moment in time, Contador is deemed clean, he cheated and he got banned, the circumstances may well be laughable but tough, it is what it is, get over it.
And he is an exciting rider. IF the next 3 GTs in 2013 are clean, then you should still expect exciting riding, it is not the dope that makes a man think sharply, time his attacks. Its the dope that allows the speed, recovery etc.0
