Looks like we've gained a tittle!

superfluous 'tle' there Dave

 

[Crackle]

You're not a proper bike rider then, and we'll not have heard of you anyway. But try us and see. Someone may have heard of you in your obscure not very good sport.

Oy some of us ride mtn bikes and we're on drugs.

That is not my point. I am a UCI MTB rider but u woulnt believe me even if i said my name, the point is lance wanted to win. That came as a price. I dont glorify him, i think he is a "nasty person" but i dont think you can tell me what it takes to win the tour.

What's the substance abuse like in your discipline? Widespread or sporadic?

So how's that legalisation of weed going in Colorado? Seems like somebody has been enjoying it!

Widespread in MTB I would say. Massive. There must be enough nutter DH riders that are on something to ride courses that fast as they do.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I don't know about you lot but, having seen some of those MTB courses, I'd have weed myself if I'd had to ride them.

 

[fossyant]

Look I have followed Skollys lads and my lad down some descents I wouldn't normally do. I survived off road. Big off road wuss me.

My point is it is hard to talk about what it takes to rob a bank without getting caught if you never try and succeed at doing so.

What did you say? Your first post wasn't exactly clear.

Yeh but Lance never even wore a mask!

If you are beating everyone it hardly matters. I dont use it, yet im not always winning, but most are on things you find in food, which are test boosters and what not that are legal. If you dont take everything that is legal, believe me, i will always be faster. Lots of things you dont know specifics about yet. Many are legal because testing for them is impossible. 4 things that Lance got in trouble for were actually legal in the 90s, so it is way more complicated than you little kids pretend it is.

 

[Acesand8s]

Thank you for admitting you are not qualified.

And you are no more qualified than anyone else here.

 

[Acesand8s]

Exactly, so how is it you people talk about it like all the people who do ware masks are not guilty? What is wrong with that picture?

Which things were it that got him in trouble? And when did he get in trouble? I don't seem to remember him ever testing positive (openly, there's that suppressed incident, but let's not mention that)
