Armstrong charged and banned

Just for the record, Fignon was not at his best on this final day as he was suffering from saddle sore and couldn't fing a comfortable position to ride in. That must have affected his performance surely.

Yes, but what would Napoleon have done if he'd been DS on the day?

Come on people, we have a lyingmonobollockedcokesnortingcolleaguebullyingshitbag to fry. Focus.

What does DS mean?

Directeur Sportif. The bloke in the team car shouting order at the riders.

Just for the record folks, my request to tone it down was based not on the defence of Lemond but - and this might surprise some of you - the insult directed at Armstrong. The guy had testicular cancer, you don't mock him for that whatever else he has or has not done.

My apologies, I should have made that clear in the first place

As I said, it has been suggested that anyone with a VO2max over 90 should automatically be considered to be cheating. Lemonds was 93. Lemond questioned Contador's performance on Stage 18 of the 2009 TdeF As having an inhuman VO2max yet estimates are it was only around 80.

Quoting nude socialist is hardly a very robust publication to say the least . And many people won't be able to read that. Were there particular bits you were interested in?

Have you got lost on the way to a different thread?

It's a very old and well known tongue in cheek nickname for that particular publication, one others have quoted before . I don't actually mind it that much, but the point remains about what I said. If red light spends a lot of time reading it it actually explains some of his slightly odd 'mainstream' views about physics but that's an entirely different topic.

I'm just interested if he has got anything more on what he says about the VO2max.

The whole lemond thing (it's daft picking out just him) it's hard to say, we know for example that US athletics had a lot of doping in the 1980s and 1990s that was covered up until very recently.

Its not daft picking on him when you are tweaking someone who calls themselves 86TDFWinner

Well not really, it started really by a reply they said to Cunobelin about the old issue of what is 'evidence' to USADA.

It seems to be a very weird world we're getting into if the only thing 'allowed' as 'evidence' is positive tests.

Ah, that explains it. The perils of the Ignore list.
