    Best thing about threads like this is there's no danger of a bike race outbreak spoiling the fun.

    edit: sorry, this is on the other thread
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    I have to say I found the photo of the scat-fest runner less offensive than the Rasmussen body shots.

    they just made me sick in my mouth.

    thank goodness for the FF nature interlude.

    What a lovely thread. No descended into a 'picture off' at all. :)

    'Someone at garmin must have been a doper'... Is that why their software is so rubbish?

    Chicken's saying that at a dope test in the 2005 Tour his reticulocyte levels came up at a level that indicated doping. Claims that Leinders spoke to UCI's Zorzoli, and it was fixed so that Chicken didnt get thrown off the Tour.

    An ex-Rabo manager's backed up today the claim that Zorzoli fixed it.

    Zorzoli is the UCI's Chief Medical Officer.

    Could you get thrown of a race for reticulocyte levels in 2005? I can't remember anyone else being kicked off a race for values other than the 50% rule. Maybe it was just a warning.

    The only slightly interesting thing here is that it would mean that Pat's "coverups did nt happen on my watch" excuse would fly out the window (albeit only just). Surprised?

    Thought not...

    Although the 2005 Tour would pre-date his Presidency by a few months.

    That we - for some weird reason - still can't delete posts. I wrote something and then deleted it.

    If you write 'delete' a mod will often delete it for you (eventually)
