WUH WOAH...

Don't make him angry. You won't like him if he's angry.

 

or maybe a 5 gallon bucket!!

Roger

 

Oddly enough whatshisname who just won the Tour De France has just been on the news in relation to failing a drug test and may be stripped of his title

 

Now they are saying he might be able to clear his name. Something about some medicine that he has been taking in relation to a recent hip surgery.

Roger

 

Hmm he just said on the news here in a press conference thay "he has a naturally high testosterone level"

 

Aaaahh...maybe that's what it was...I was just going by what my wife said she heard, but she or I could have been confused about something else!!

Roger

 

i think thats probably the whole point of this thread...

 

It's more likely something to do with him recovering from Testicular Cancer.

Seems all thise years "in the saddle" caught up with him.

 

I can just see it, all those cyclists going to the clinics in 3rd world countries to have their hips surgically broken, so they can then be treated (legal doping!). What a world, what a world...

 

Barry, it was more likely related to the recent news re: Floyd Landis winning the Tour de Surrender, err France, not Lance Armstrong.

Bill does have a point, whether we like it or not.
Seems people go to Way extremes to win these days
Goodbye good ol' competition
At least it doesn't count for all

 

never a day you don't make me chuckle
oww

have'nt these guys heard of mars bars?

 

sneekers satisfy you!

 

Hmm-Innocent until proven guilty seems to have gone out the window with all the alleged charges flying recently. Every night (in CA anyaway) this is a major story on the news. Nobody knows anything , as second tests have not been performed on the sample he gave after the race. False positives have been given b4 by many cyclisits(past and present) but were cleared after a second test.(aka Lance Armstrong)
That said this guy was raised as a Menonite (no power,very minimal comforts,Strict adherance to the bible )
Plus Mr Landis is accused of having a high testosterone level, this is NOT a performance enhancing drug --It only helps you recover lost mass/electrolytes AFTER a great or herculian effort. To get any performance enhancing benifit you would have to be using this stuff for at least a couple of weeks.

Whew that was good coffee!

Seems they only found that high level after one spectacular day's effort.
It apparently was not present in all the other days that they tested him.
Funny that. Bazza

Ah, I see. I haven't been keeping up with the news lately. So my post was a load of old bollocks, heh!, heh! That'll learn me not to post whilst in a work-induced coma, LoL!

 

I see that Greg LeMond is casting aspersions at L.A., the most tested athlete in the world!!!

As someone said above, there is no B sample yet!!! Shut up Greg Lemond.
