edited February 2013 in Pro race
So on Twitter cyclingnews.com sent out a tweet about the new Team Columbia preparing for season début - to which I replied "That's one for WADA to watch out for :-)"

One of them replied back pointing out I was not funny. ooops

    As a member of one the largest minorities I find that offensive :lol:
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Doh - bet you weren't expecting that.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    actually I don't blame him for being peed off - you are taking the mickey based on a cliched stereotype and you don't know anything about the person

    You can point out that you meant the cycling team of the District of Columbia - not Colombia as in the country of ;-)
