If you haven't had enough yet


Super Domestique, October 15, 2012

I saw this advertised on the TV lastnight and thought.....yeah, why not cash in some more on it. I'm waiting for Panorama "doping in cycling" then on ITV a tonight special of the same title.

Followed by C4 doing an undercover documentary following DR's who help dopers.

Its just a shame the news of the world got caught phone hacking, because I'm sure they would have found evidence on phone's and emails Devil

listen to radio 5 tonight at 7pm - its a one hour session called "pedlars" with interviews with ex and current cyclists about the drugs problem.

Whatever you think about the BBC the radio 5 show is usually spot on with no favouritism.

I will be listening Big Grin

Gahh!

In the last two weeks, everyone who I've met; the conversation has gone like this:

"Oh, you like cycling, don't you?"
"Yyyyeah..."
"Have you heard about the Armstrong thing?"
"Of course."
"Do you think Wiggins was doping this year?"
"S**t off."

Seriously, SHUT UP IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO CLEARLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS SPORT.

To be honest, unless you are really into pro cycle racing, then you are going to see things like this and come to that conclusion

Thats been updated, not the one I was looking for, but it will do.

This is nearly what I was looking for, from the BBC, but they have not done their research as a couple of riders have been involved in doping and are not marked pink Thinking

Don't forget how 99-05 looked before Lance was convicted

So taking Armstrong off that, leaves 22/70 riders who have either not doped/not admitted doping/never been caught
