That's a good way to become the "winner" in a Usenet argument. Just
make things up.

I did no such thing. I presented a pointed response which you avoided.
That is a defense mechanism that is consistent with denial. Don't be
such a self righteous puke.

If it is really essential to you to follow a clean sport you are left
with the one with the brooms that Curtis mentioned. Unless you are
willing to not see things you don't want to see, then the options
are more numerous. If that is the approach you are going to take then
don't expect to be a self righteous puke and have people love you.
The history of doping in sport goes back as far as the existance of
dope and sport. None of this is new, only its visibility to you.

You are familiar with the 'Convicts of the Road' interview that
Albert Londres conducted with Henri Pélissier, right? Should we talk
about some of the stuff that 6 day racers took, back in the day?

The people with the brooms are lucky that lite beer is not considered
performance enhancing. If it was then even they would be off limits.

That sport with brooms seems to be alcohol and nicotine driven, at
least historically. It's about like league bowling, except on the
championship level.

Everything I've read said he was THE patron saint of this type stuff.
****, it doesn't matter if it's tiddlywinks. When there's competition,
people cheat. That's just the reality, and always has been. Doesn't
mean we like it, just means we're realistic, not demanding some
non-existant sporting utopia.


... or organisations like the UCI which is claiming already for 40 years
that we are making progess (sounds familiar somehow) ...

Hey, New drugs, New tests, New rules, that's progress right ;-)
What's important in life is the journey!


Quite right. So let nobody trying to spoil it claiming that we're on the
verge of reaching the destination...
