Doping Cyclists in Aus

With so many Australian cyclists testing positive for drugs and naming others, then getting all sorts of legal moves going, why doesn't the AIS pull the whole lot out of the olympics?
There has not been a decent rider in the aussie road team for years that isn't a doper anyway. Just that some of them are yet to be caught.
The day they do get a half decent rider there will be so many legal challenges to any race he may want to go in that most likely he will never get to go anyhow.
There is just no sportsmanship in Aussie cycling any more and that is the saddest thing about the whole issue.

Ro,

I reckon Stuie O'Grady might just disagree with you with this lil pearl
of wisdom.

Cheers

Nah, I don't believe it.
Heaps of good riders about. Seems that if you say someone takes drug
then it's true.
Cycling is just like any other sport, same ratio of druggies shootin
up all sorts of stuff from vitamins to black market stuff

Do you know any of the really good guys personally? Ever trained wit
them? Ever raced against them? 20 bucks says no to all three of those.

I might be mistaken but wasnt the last Australian rider to tes
positive Robert Wilson in 2003? Dajka and French haven't actuall
tested positive yet. The ampoules of Testicomp found in French's roo
contained roughly 10^-12 ml of growth hormone, less than is produced b
the body naturally each day.

If there has not been a decent rider in the aussie road team for year
that isn't a doper imagine what else is floating around in the rest o
the world.There are cheats, no question about it, but give everyon
else a bit courtesy by taking your blinkers off and giving them a fai
go. Its people with blind opinions like yours that are dragging ou
sport down.

My 2 cents but have a think about it

I think you mean cortico-steroid, not growth hormone... testicom
didn't have growth hormone in it I thought. Amen to everything els
you've said though. Anyone else heard the rumour about ASDA testing i
Shep up north in Victoria last weekend?
