John Smith's bitter

blimey!

two heart attacks and other issues - not a good advert for doping

Neither is the elevated risk of testicular cancer that appears associated with testosterone abuse.

it amazes me that people will chance shortening their life spans just to win races/make money. so much of this cutting edge doping is untested long term that there must be a cloud over whoever dopes for a long time.

I wouldn't want that hanging over me

I think it's called 'book promotion'.

"I still believe he [Armstrong] is a phenomenal athlete and still the biggest engine ever to get on a bike, apart from maybe Chris Froome," said Yates.

 

[ayceejay]

"the biggest engine" a euphemism surely.

"the biggest engine" a euphemism surely.

'Tool' is the word he's looking for, methinks.

Or, at least, I thinks!

Cowboys and engines?

 

[User169]

"the biggest engine" a euphemism surely.

With special Ferrari tuning.

What a cock

best quote was "“To be brutally honest, there is no one at Sky who knows much about bike riding."

OTOH I read a study the other day which showed that cyclists who competed in the TDF were more likely to live longer and suffer fewer health problems than the general population. It's impossible to say whether doping caused Sean Yates' health issues.

"doping caused Sean Yates' health issues" there, not difficult at all never mind impossible.
