Team RadioShack to appear before UCI Disciplinary Commission

[kennykool]

Kenny! Where have you been hiding? You missed seeing your boy take one hell of a beating!

One of the reasons I've been hiding Chuffy. Bad luck for LA this year - as the commentaors said - he had more bad luck this year than he had in every previous Tour he had ridden.

Otherwise he would have won ha ha


Seriously tho I have been setting up 3 new businesses of late so not had much time......I've still been looking on the forum just not posting..low profile after Lance's first fall....or was he pushed?

I was nowhere near and you can't prove otherwise.

Good luck with the businesses.

I saw a RadioShack shop for the first time a few weeks ago, and didn't go in as I thought "I'm not giving my money to any company that funds Lance"....looked quite a nice shop as well.

I have the same thought with regard to Trek Bikes - especially after the Lemond lawsuit. Just bought a new hybrid for the wife from a Specialized/Trek dealer. Didn't spend long looking at the Treks.

Yep, Trek is on my list. As is Bontrager.
And Nike. And Subaru. And Coke. And I'm buggered if I'll be using the US Postal Service to send my mail!!!

I refuse to wear long socks or anything yellow.

I've gone so far as to stop micro-dosing and I've decided against giving Hein Verbruggen a bribe donation of $100,000.

I'd already given up HGH as I'm still only 4' 10"

But when taken by some people it is known to have an opposite effect ..............................

Typical Lance stunt really. But why didn't they just register a kit highlighting the cause in the first place, similar to Barcelona FC and UNICEF?

I guess because, unlike Barcelona, which is a fan-owned club reflecting the spirit of the city, Lance is a law - and an ego - unto himself. He's the Bono of the cycling world.

Or, in cycling, like the ONCE team strip showing a blind man with cane.
(ONCE being the Spanish equivalent of the RNIB).

Presumably that wouldn't help with getting Radioshack sponsorship.
ONCE were OK with it because they were sole sponsor, advertising the lottery they got the bulk of their income from.

The sheer gall of it amuses me

- they turned-up for riders sign-on in Radio Shat jerseys, with the numbers stuck on the back
- but they then changed into the new black kit and transferred the numbers over for the start
- when challenged by the 'commissars' (and that's a disingenuity if ever I saw one, Johan...), the Radio Shat jerseys were easily to hand in the team cars to change back into
- but of course transferring the numbers back meant they had to stop at the roadside and halt the peloton

This was no mistake or misunderstanding, it was an intentional flouting of the rules and so should be treated appropriately
- ban the team from next year's Tour
- ban Lance Armstrong and Johan Buyneel from any UCI-santioned event, or any event sanctioned by a UCI-member national body

That'd teach em

Brechin City FC, another fan-owned club, have just announced that they will be sporting "Cancer Research UK" on their shirts this year....

....so support Cancer Research in the UK and buy a Brechin top rather than a RadioShack cycling top!

Nah. Last I heard Lance was claiming 5% royalties on any use of the word 'cancer'.

You can even get a number on the back....

LOL @ this thread! Lots of fuss simply because some guys on the tour wore unofficial clothing?? No big deal - lets face it, Cipollini was always at it and blatantly didn't give a stuff for the fines he often got







(Duh! Stupid me - it's not about the incident - it's all about Lance Armstrong isn't it!)
