Re: Amnesty for Basso?
I don't really understand the justification: "other riders have not been punished, therefore the ban should be reduced." Huh?
Interesting comments from Simoni, too. |

You know, I like Simoni more and more. I think he may have had his day with injections, but I believe he stopped several years back and decided to race clean. I also think that explains his move to mountain biking.

Re: Amnesty for Basso?
Very bad idea and bad reasons!
It will only reduce the effect of the current fight against doping, that will reduce the confidence of everyone for a new era of cycling. Don't forget the most "wounded" by doping are the few clean riders, the people who have lost their jobs or reduce their salaries... We can only see an italian reason in that amnesty... |

Who took the jam out of your doughnut? Is Simoni your relative or something? You're reacting like a half-brain idiot on sarcastic comment about public secret that they all dope, have doped and will dope.

As to them all doping. Yes, I am well aware. I am also aware of the diminishing performance of Simoni over the past few years, and his inability to recapture a Giro title.(after his 2nd in '03) He may be doping, bit it appears that he got off of the full juice based on his performance decline. That was my real point. Hey, you are entitled to your own opinion about that, but when you ask a sarcastic question meant to cast me in a certain light and I respond with an escalated response (a trick I learned from growing up during the Cold War), you really have no beef. You started it, and I continued it. Why should I be the one to show decorum first?

You started cursing me... That's rude manner, not some "I'm tough guy" attitude, like you're trying to present it. And if my sarcastic comment was reason for that... You have a serious self respect problem. And about Simoni... Maybe his performance decline is related with his age rather than his "less doping program"
