[Red Light]

Inrng article, with more reliable translations

A very fair and reasonable summary.

I'm not sure it is. A clean sport now is worth it but we were getting that already absent a few hiccups like the Olympic Mens Road Race Gold. And a few months ago cycling was heading towards a bright new clean future with the likes of Wiggo and Cav and others. But then Tygart decided to open Pandora's history Box and cycling, or at least road cycling, has become extremely toxic once more in the press and public conscience. It may give the satisfaction of settling some old scores but its shot the new emerging sport of clean cycling comprehensively in both feet.

And with that you have just shot all of your "reasoned" arguments around WADA and it's actions, the merits of Judge Sparks etc etce right in the head with a nail gun.

Clearly you feel that the pandoras box should have remained closed allowing the cheats to get away with with it?

This case is clearly one of those nonsensical ones but technically the rules have been broken. Hopefully Lance and his sponsors can get a few quid together for some big hitters in the UCI and make this go away too.

I do on balance and I think in time people will come to rue what they wished for. But believing it is not worth it and that the process is badly flawed are not mutually exclusive as you seem to think. Its equally possible to believe its not worth it but the process is unimpeachable or that it is worth it but the process is flawed. So you have a phantom nail gun I'm afraid. Sorry.

Nonsense !

How can we hope to move forward in any meaningful way if we all just decide to brush everything under the carpet?

This is the problem with lies, they come out at the most awkward times.

Your "reasoned" arguments are shown to be not reasoned at all, just complaints that the story has been raised. That puts you firmly in the Big Pat camp.

It appears the Reasoned Argument pursuit attracted attention in US as to why USADA were not carrying out the normal and required checks on US Athletes preparing and on their way to London 2012, budget was concentrated on 1 action!

"Bassons, who now works as a sports professor for the French ministry of sport and spends up to half of his time trying to prevent doping....."​

All the less excuse for not knowing the doping control rules.

I wonder if he'll be able to keep this job in the circumstances.

Don't see why not.

It is acceptable to dope if you are French. That is the unwritten rule. If you win it makes you even better.

France have NO buses to throw riders under.

Try Charles de Gaulle comments on JA!

Idiocy has nothing to do with the clock I am afraid.

And your point is?

I would add more but you have a great knack of using words and saying nothing. There is always next time however!

The point is that you post unsubstantiated goodledygook which is in poor English, badly written, often unintelligible, often over-blown and long-winded and verbose.
'It is acceptable to dope if you are French. That is the unwritten rule. If you win it makes you even better.' I rest my case.
The only reason that you are not on my 'ignore' is because I lead a sad, lonely and humour-free life and you fill a lot of gaps in my needy existence.

Your desire to write sh@t about anything I post is far greater than your desire to read it properly and understand what I have written! Try looking at the reference first and finding out about it in the context it is written. Maybe then you will look less STUPID than you are doing just now. Man you are so thick!!

Your personal life is no surprise based on how you react on here. I can only assume your attitude on here reflects your personal life, hence why you are a LOSER.
