The aussies have the right idea here. We need to all sign up and make some "informative" posts.

Couple that with our ethical record, despite all the gossip and nonsense that goes on.”

Too late. I took one look and someone named "livestrong girl" wrote the following crap:

"When Armstrong and Bruyneel appear in rider's life it changes dramatically. 'cause they knowledge about training and riding well is absolute. also, Contador is immensely eager to succeed, so he's a good material to shape. Bruyneel likes this kind of mix of talent, eagerness and strength.

Contador is naturally built to win great cycling races. he is Iban Mayo-size in mountains, but his power and ability to endure is greater than Mayo's, so he can compete in TT as well as Armstrong. "

- Its all but over for that forum !

How did she get the **** out of her mouth long enough to make that post?

Awesome. I'm going to burn some free time posting there this weekend.

Don't be naive, mate. It's Armstrong's PR service... Marketing trick with a woman fascinated with the man... Omnipotence of a marketing subject. He's great sportsman, big humanist, fighter... And women like him. Just look at our Negatives friend, he's nowhere around when there's no Armstrong, but he doesn't miss posts about him. Forums are flooded with his "admirers".

Apparently, they compared Catlin's testing program and promoting Armstrong on the forums and decided that promoting him on the internet provides more return for the money... That's why everywhere you look you see an idiot opening his/her mouth about Armstrong. Just yesterday I read a post from a guy who said "a knock-out blow to the organisers. Last year they were scared as hell to let Astana race and now the clean guys of Bruyneel are kicking everybody's ass"...
I've never really understood where these idiots spawn from...so the only explanation is that they get paid for it.

How about we, the cynical fans of cycling (aka Trolls) head over there to re-educate them/see how long it takes to get banned?

Two of my favorite quotes that show this aint a good idea ...
1) Two things are infinite... The Universe and human stupidity. And I am not so sure about the universe (Alfred Einstein)

2) Never argue with an idiot. They drag u to their lvl and beat u with experience...

You need to get over there fast. I happened to click on the link in today's news bulletin and saw this !!!!

"Who's ready for an Astana full deck?

Am I the only one who can't wait to see Astana stack the deck? Bert and Levi were both left alone on stages where there should have been at least one other teammate. Enough of letting the Kahzak kiddies get experience.
Just once I would like Johan pull out all the guns a blazin: Bert, Levi, Klodi, Jani, Popo, Haimar, Hornster, Chechu and okay, maybe Lance. Admittedly a team with four or five leaders might turn into a clusterf*** but it sure would be fun to watch the fireworks."
