Saunier-D sacks ricco AND Piepoli
Reports are that piepoli is sacked as well as Ricco. As I specualted the other day, the whole team may be dirty. Wacthing those two guys fly up Hautacam while Ricoo sat on comfrotably in the lead chase certainly made me wonder and that it did is sort of sad, but there you are.

and that is the unfortunate thing. Nothing incredible seems genuine anymore. Should I be questioning Cavendish now? I mean usually it is not the sprinters but...
EDIT* I know Columbia has their own testing, so it makes it less likely. Also a good friend of mine has a good friend of his on their B squad. This friend says the owner of the team is very anti doping. So, all signs point to Cavendish being clean.

Very impressive math, although you fail to point out two of the wins were by one guy and all three are from one team. But hey, who's counting? Oh, that's right, you were. Go back and look very, very carefully at the posts on cycling just from this year's Tdf. Then tell me how many of them claimed that no one was using drugs in cycling. Really, I cahllenge you to find one that says cycling is completely clean. If you can't, then what is your point other htna to be tedious and to try to resurrect somethign that you mysteriously let drop the other day after it was pointed out you were wrong about Pettite?

Second, you still have the facts wrong about Pettite. Lok it up. Third, I wasn't pointing at baseball to compare to cycling, but trying to understand why, once again, you seem unable to address the topic of the thread but instead delve into an anti cycling rant. I speculated that it was because you were unhappy how the discussion had gone the other day. Based on your reaction here, I was right. Fourth, you are making a comparison by asserting that the sport is dirty and so can't be trusted. Compared to what? ANd off we go. Finally, you want to rant about drugs in cycling, how about starting your own thread and stop polluting mine? Finally number two, I repent of engaging you at this level (but not fully, so I will leave this post) and will not do so again.

Since there is NO VALID and commercially available test for HGH nobody can be busted unless they are fingered by their source. That is the only way any player has been nailed for HGH and only Clemens was stupid enough to totally deny using after being named, and making it a he said/he said affair. Every other pitcher or player that's been fingered seems to be smart enough to use the same story Pettite used. Forgive us if we have our doubts about the veracity of Petitte's story. It's just than when every player has the same story (I took it a couple of times to heal) you have your doubts. |
