Wiggo's comments on drugs doubters.

[thom]

What do you expect them to do? Speak eloquently about their doping regimes?

What do you expect a clean cyclist to do ? Talk about something they don't do ?

 

[Chuffy]

and then he will be accused of protesting too much?

I don't think so. I've never seen complaints about cyclists overdoing that. It's always complaints that they don't say enough. The obvious caveat being that he can't afford to do anything daft that undercuts what he says (cf Frank 'my contact with Dr Fuentes is purely for training plans and nothing more...' Schleck).

Bradley Wiggins: I can never dope because it would cost me everything

That's everything and more that I could have hoped for him to say.

Loved what today's stage winner had to say.

 

[yello]

Not afraid to address the subject is he? The anniversary of Tom Simpson's death too, I didn't realise that.

Exactly. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I bet Wiggy knew.

BTW Greg/Yello - if those two posts just now are a spoiler I will be greatly vexed...

Nope, I can assure you that Tommy Simpson did not win today's stage. And, yep, Wiggin's mentioned Simpson too.

I was most careful (as was Greg) not to reveal the name of the stage winner.... I think. I've read the post several times to see if it was implied though. I hope not!

Fair enough. I was just adding 2 + 2 and getting Wiggy 5.

...of course, if it is Wiggy I'll be putting a bat up your nighdress.

 

[yello]

We're safe then.

 

[Chuffy]

Git!

Ditto on Millar today to great to see him holding his hand up to his past

I realised you would. It was a give away under the circumstances. I realised too late, the damage was done. My apologies.
