My jaw hit the floor. Maybe he's not a dumb kid after all. Quite a great troll, in fact. ROTFLMAO!

He even knew the answer to the 1999 tests on Lance. I had read bits and pieces from forums but never cared enough to go into depth as I assumed that if there was something, he would have been busted.

Well, I already think Lance doped so it doesn't change my opinion. It only strengthens it.

I haven't read if the rest of the forum has had a seizure or not yet. Pugdog will probably croak.

I'm not sure you are outing yourself here Vader, so I won't say anything about that, but your posts over there had me in stitches with your mispellings and uncomfortable questions. I can't believe they were so tolerant of you, but you managed to come across so innocent and credible... even though nearly every post you made had some sort of angle to it or some clumsy, funny, word mash.

Top drawer...

Here's the latest priceless post from 9lives:

Quote:
This sums it up for me! A professionals view:

"Finishing third in 1996 was popular French rider Richard Virenque. At his trial in October 2000, Virenque confessed to doping at the 1998 Tour as a member of the compromised Festina team. At the trial Virenque described the mentality that facilitates lying about doping among many riders: “We don’t say doping; we say we’re preparing for the race. To take drugs is to cheat. As long as the person doesn’t test positive, they’re not taking drugs.”
quote from, http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/19462071/site/21683474/

I have no further critique. I am glad to see that cycling is being forced into becoming honest and making efforts to deal with anyone involved with doping. But as Virenque stated, As long as the person doesn’t test positive, they’re not taking drugs

Apparently, the chosen avatar is a good representation of her cranial capacity.

How can 9lives completely miss the point of what Virenque was saying?

That reads like a post by Vader. He isn't really one of us is he?

Why would you assume it was me? I'm innocent.

Anyhow, I prefer to think of it more along the lines of Ali G.

For those of you interested in the continuing machinations of Jeff Vader, the latest (last?) instalment is here: http://www.thepaceline.com/forum/fb.aspx?m=32331.

Vader is not me, by the way (I had just assumed he was Cranky, but then his being a USPS fan in 1998 seems incongruous).

I did have to look up who the USPS team leader for the 1998 Tour was:
181. Jean-Cyril Robin (Fra). He finished sixth. Not bad for a Frenchman...

Yea, I need help, (thanks Jeff Vader whoever you are). See, until about a year and a half ago, I was on the dark side.
