Or in the case of Mr Sullivan, une andouille.

There is no such thing as evolution, just Intelligent Design which
started 6000 years ago with Adam and Eve and Buddha, who was stripped
of his title for mushrooming into Nirvana.

They'll be painting people out of the official photos next, like Stalin.


Ummm.....Photoshop?

Budda is a fatty master who is half naked and worshipped. Life is
strange.

The painting wasn't the part that hurt most.

I just heard on France2 that Zabel's green jersey for 1996 will be erased
by ASO in their history due to the doping admission.

I wondered where a promoter of a UCI race arrogates the power to revise
the
final standings of an approved race. It seems that if one looks, in the
future, to see who did what, then the only official records are UCI, as
they may decide to annotate, but not that of the promoter.

So some pictures will have fans and maybe support vehicles, but no
racers in them?

Sweeet!

They'll have retroactive testing for the fans and
support vehicles too. If you drank a thermos of
coffee to stay awake after driving all night to
reach the Tourmalet, or if you violated caravan
rules in your team car, that same software that
paints the virtual ads on the soccer pitch and
the banners at the edge of the field can just as
easily be used to erase you from the picture.

On the bright side, Prudhomme has figured out that
he can use Photoshop to put LANCE's face on the body
of Eric-the-guy-who-tackled-Guerini.

Wow, a little touchy there, Sandy. Is it not true that Virenque
doped? And is it not true that it doesn't matter to the majority
of French fans that he doped, that he's still considered a hero
of Le Tour?


C'est vrai.


~bob s.



Wasn't Virenque ejected the 'year' he doped? Strictly
speaking they are only taking one of Zabels jerseys not
the lot. You could apply that logic to it.

Don't tell the fatty masters or they'll all convert to Buddhism.
