Ok 10points for naming the Rider withdrawn from the race either 1 week before, during, or announced up to 1 week after the race. riders announced second and subsequently get 9 points and falling.
10 Points for naming the nationality with the most drug announcements. points for lower placed nationalities in descending order
10 points for announcing the team with the most drug busts. Descending points as above.
All cats get points down to tenth place.
Winner the BR pundit with the highest score. 3 votes per category max

Just a quick question. Is that because you think there will be more dirty riders or because they are getting better at catching them?prawny wrote:Andy Schleck

Bit of both. Andy needs to perform on the big stage, Vacansoleil need to bag a sponsor sharpish and Italians are crazy.
Those things combined with the new epo tests I reckon we could be in for a bumper haul of small name busts, maybe a couple of biggies.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

Dont worry, both the men and women's French Open finals have just been won by 2 tennis players around whom rumours have been swirling for some considerable time.
Oh and look, Justin Gatlin's just beaten Bolt in a 100m race.
Now have you started reading one of those books I recommended to you about cycling, that are not solely based around blood bags and EPO syringes sticking out of riders arms? Hmmm...?0 -

I have no doubt that doping is a large part of many many sports, to be honest I don't even know who won the French Open, I have no interest in tennis. Pretty sure Bolt is on it too, in my opinion, the Jamaicans are just too good at the moment, en masse.0 -
Tennis is something you watch the last half hour of, because it has over run into the scheduled slot for a cycle race on Eurosport.
You can of course substitute snooker, motorbike racing, curling, beach volleyball, handball for 'tennis'0 -

Not sure beach volleyball deserves to be in there with those others0 -

There's no mutual exclusivity between the regular catching of cheats and being cleaner than other sports. Not saying cycling has definitely nailed this one yet but your insinuation is flawed. You assume all sports tackle doping with equal vigour to infer any link.
Unless of course you believe a sport (any sport) can be 100% devoid of cheating.0 -

TV has so much super imposed rubbish that they even need cartoons of animals for adverts and Pop Music is mainly synchronised voice overs.
For reality I sit in the park and watch the birds or in a car park to watch them park and then drive off which can be hilarious.
