    Kind of sad when he says no one wanted to win for fear of showing a clen +ve from something they ate after being tested. I like that story about the motorpacing.

    With the Tour of Beijing and Japan Cup startlists along with the other races he has mentioned about competing in I suspect we should be able to narrow down who it is pretty closely.


    Very sad indeed. Who'd in their right minds ride out there next year if this could happen?

    Yeah. Beijing's WT so compulsory for the top teams, but Japan Cup's not.

    Teams will have no choice but to take all their own food with them.

    Perhaps they should just agree not to bother testing for clen at the Japan cup. It's a small dispensation for one race series and shouldn't bring the house down (should it?)

    It would make sense. As the SP says no one in their right mind would "prep" for what they refer to as a Sunday club race.

    ^which is what a number of us were pointing out when the 'Rogers-is-guilty-and-banged-to-rights' debate was going on

    Its a chipper of chippers

    (though quite what was going on in Rogers' mind to win the bloody thing, god only knows)
  • Could've sworn I read a similar story in Cavs latest book about him pacing a police motorbike for part of the stage and then giving the officer a signed jersey after the stage.

    Could be just imagining that though :?

    It was David Millar, not Cav. (Although maybe it's Cav too. I haven't read his second book)

    No, you're right. I just remember reading it somewhere and thought it was in Cav's book as it was my latest read.

    I know Tim. I doubt he'd say he was any more credible than the secret pro.

    It seems more well balanced informative and no bias towards Rodgers or Contador for that matter.

    The Secret pro article in my view seems like it was written by one of Rodgers mates.

    He does have some dodgy past connections shall we not forget.


    The Secret Pro has some dodgy past connections? Does he?

    2020 Merida Reacto Disc Ltd - black on black
    2015 CAAD8 105 - very green - stripped to turbo bike

    Poster whiteboytrash repeatedly failed to produce those affadavits, though.

    To be fair though RayJay, the Secret Pro is just giving an insiders biased view. It's not pretending to be anything else.

    The style of writing seems different so I've got to ask, is Rayjay now artstan?

    The misspelling of 'Rodgers' is a big tell, too.

    And the turning it to Sky when (as far as I'm aware) neither the Secret Pro or Rogers are anything to do with that team.

    Shame, it's been enjoyable on here recently. Crankbrother has shown himself to be more than a one trick pony and knowledgable to the point I'm enjoying reading his posts and the others who were doping obsessives had gone.

    So obviously not then.

    I shall have a look at some of the old posts and see if I can figure why so many of you are spooked by old posters.

    I work in quite a high pressure environment and find it's best to let things go.

    Your paranoia is ruining this thread and I would appreciate it if we could get back on topic

    Many thanks Brigid

    Why not have a look at some old posts by a 'member' called rayjay. You may notice how the line space between each line is uncannily similar to yours.
