First race out and he was on the front, killing an entire peloton, on a big climb.

Knowing I have 0 cred on the doping issue - I still can't help but think, "really Di Luca? Are you that fucking stupid??"0 -
^^Mad Rapper - have you only just spotted this thread?
Only good thing about this is the response from Vini Farnesi DS Scinto, back on page 1 :
'He’s mad, he’s a cretino, he needs treatment. There’s nothing else to say.'
Henceforth Di Luca should always be referred to as 'Il Cretino'0 -

Better late than never mate. The upshot is that a Ricco wannabee in the race for the Maglia Haemoglobin most blatant cheat competition got caught.0 -
Just going through the photos I have from a handful of years back. Oh my the ones of Di Luca are dripping in excitement and style.

Frenchie.... honest question (not intended as trolling), but does the fact he is a cheating toe rag reduce your enjoyment of his performances even a little bit?"I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0

No, its a fair and interesting question, been discussed a few times already. Of course it lessens the impressiveness of the act and the respect for the palmares (even if you know that many of the guys he were beating were on it like sonic also). But to say I didn`t get enjoyment at the time and still enjoy watching replays would be false. I think the two are justifiably and easily separated, at least for me. Its a sport at the end of the day and most of us watch to be entertained.Contador is the Greatest0

Yes, but Di Luca and his ilk could only produce those "exciting" performance because they were (are in his case) juiced up to the eyeballs.
Without the juice,average at best.0 -

...and **** and kind of morality.
Might have had style but now he looks like a complete ****ing tool. :roll:0 -

Appreciate the honest answer Frenchie.
I'm perhaps not as forgiving as you, but over the years i've enjoyed watching a lot of doped up rides, many of which i've watched several times over again and still enjoyed them, even if it had the feeling of fantasy, rather than real sporting contest."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -

Aye, Frenchie must be gutted, another of his so called "Exciting heavyweights" proven to be a drug cheat.

I have a big mop of scruffy grunge hair [more than di doper above] and a beard thing on my face and a few tattoos .....sh%%. I swear I have never killed anyone
Must say some of the reaction on some other sights as been way OTT. Yes he has doped but no one has died and everyone else was doping for most of his best days. He may have got caught 3 times but that does not mean other riders have not doped in the same races. I mean people have called him a F this and F that.
I don't recall anyone getting so worked up about all those Garmin boys who doped and never got caught.
They cheated for a lot their races and a lot of people seem to be ok with them racing again. They could have been doping more than Di Luca and were just better at not getting caught.
IMO if you want to try and stop doping then a life ban is at least the only way to even the cheaters playing field.
Getting caught does not mean you doped more than anyone else. It just means your a bit stupid like Ricco or like to take a few risks.
IMO once you dope you cross the line whether your Millar, Merckx , Ulrich, or O'Grady or Di Luca it does not matter. You have all cheated exactly the same.0 -

You don't hold with the concept of redemption then?
Personally, I've made enough mistakes in life to think it's a pretty good thing.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

Fair enough and we all make mistakes and try and move on to better things and grow as an individual.
I was thinking more in a sport context.
The point I was trying to make was that you need an even playing field.
Say you get a rider who has been doping every race for 10 years but is only caught once and banned for 2 years.
Then you get another who has only doped in a few races but has been caught 3 times and banned for life.
That does not seem fair to me. It was meant more to make a point.
Every decision and choice you make is yours alone.
If you cheat in a sport you cannot change that moment for the others who did not cheat. It's done.0 -
Don't you get tired of writing the same stuff every day, rayjay?0
