FWIW, the sprot will be great this year - the 'scandals' will discourage the July 1 to early August crowd of newbies, who insist on discussing the Tour de France and the way Bobke pronounces it Tour Day France. So this year we can ignore that race in France and argue over who would have won if they were allowed to enter, but weren't. My virtual podium is: 1. Basso 2. Landis 3. Pereira (edges out Ullrich, as Jan was technically a retirement) and wonderfully, Zabel shakes off old age and wins the green. The last is shaky - he may lose the green by being allowed to race afterall. I don't have a mountain jersey. What's with those guys? All the virtual winners of the polka dots have retired, unless I missed someone in all the retirements and confessions and allegations. And nominating a virtual white jersey is downright cynical. Not going to go there. Curtis L. Russell temprary rbr Pointing Out the Obvious Czar. Someone has to do it so everyone else can get on with their day. |

But I think Lemond has proven himself master of the virtual podium. These others are Johnny come latelys. The simple fact that they don't know how to keep their own secrets doesn't qualify them for anything special. Lemond's secrets will go to the grave with him. |

Except of course for the secret he told to a guy he thought to be dishonest, whom he advised that keeping such secrets is harmful, then continued keeping the secret (except for the folks he's already told). |

Yeah, but that's really the same old Lemond secret in slightly different clothes. "Look at ME, everybody, I'm a great big victim." Whether he is Landis' victim or Hinault's or someone else's is of little importance. Meanwhile the "Greg Lemond's just a big clean 'ol Boy Scout out to save the world from itself" facade remains. I DO like the twisted way you phrased that, however. Nicely said. |

The last is shaky - he may lose the green by being allowed to race afterall. Danilo Hondo will do as a reserve. I don't have a mountain jersey. What's with those guys? All the virtual winners of the polka dots have retired, unless I missed someone in all the retirements and confessions and allegations. Roberto Heras, perhaps? And nominating a virtual white jersey is downright cynical. Not going to go there. Could have been Alberto Contador, but Fuentes actually came out and said he had never met him.. not that a man like that can be taken at his word, but the cloud is off of his head. |

Not going to go there. I feel a serious attack coming on. You need not worry about July. You will enjoy an abundance of sad cases who feel cheated out of their just rewards by jealous colleagues, the old boys network, bribery, the popular but stupid, crooked deals, the better looking, etc. entertaining every possible excuse for not being invited to the big time who will vent their spleen by denouncing dopers in the most hateful terms. -- Michael Press |
