    We've all been victims of doping, that's
    why most of us don't race anymore. The
    game is stacked, even on club rides.
    You throw all your Chris Carmichael
    training tapes in the dumpster, because
    what's the use, when everyone is taking
    some sort of chemical bath, in order to
    be faster than you. It's a fools game,
    just don't participate. If they have a
    race, and no one shows up, maybe it'll
    stop then.

    While everyone involved paid a price, including those riders who were
    cheated out of prize money, at least at the time, Jeanson gave us a good
    ride for our money.

    Right. Good logic there. Alls well that ends well. She cheated - so
    what?

    Quoted message said:

    She was exciting to watch, she thrilled the fans and set
    the races on fire. She raised the awareness and interest in women's cycling
    like a number of other great riders. We loved this cool little chick from
    Lachine.

    "Cool little chick." Nice. To your credit, you did post about a
    dozen messages before your sexism leaked out this time.

    Quoted message said:

    She was a pure climber, good at both stage races and one day
    classics. For the short time she was in the limelight, she gave us our
    money's worth,

    Yeah, well that's true, seeing as most of us have never spent a dime
    on women's cycling.

    Quoted message said:

    and for the fans, it was great. No one can erase those good
    times, they are history.

    Can't erase them, but they sure can turn to [censored] by the realization

    Catherine Marsal said that Jeanson was a champion who would have won races
    without doping. The fact is Jeanson was still a great natural talent, a
    pure
    climber, and perhaps the 2nd best women climber in history after Luperini.
    (IMHO).

    I don't understand how anyone would know her natural talents. She said that
    she started on rhEPO when she was 16 years old.

    i agree....and you can say that about a lot of great champions...they have
    to be good to begin with. You can't turn a donkey into a race horse- no
    amount of EPO can give you talent or skills if you don't have it.

    It don't agree. Two words, Raimondas Rumsas

    Dumbass -

    The feeling in the women's scene during the entirety of Jeanson's
    'domination' was that she was doping.

    It was sooooo obvious.

    thanks,

    i think her parents too are clueles...her father said that they never
    would say no to genevieve and let her make her own decisions...hello!
    she was 16! so they let her go live with this guy in arizona. And he
    also wouldn't go to pratices so he wouldn't see Aubut abusing her
    verbally. What kind of useless parents are these? They just abandon
    their responsibility for a bunch of gold medals? This is your kid!

    Quoted message said:

    I used to them training at a gym where i used to go, and i remember
    noticing a very weird vibe. Not sexual at all...more like he was very
    controlling, but not in a scary abusive way. Like he controlled
    everything she did, how many situps or whatever, and she seemed to be
    totally under his spell; like she had no mind of her own. She would have
    been about 16 or 17. I thought it was kind of odd. Genevieve was very
    meek and didn't speak to anyone. I just thought it was kind of creepy.
    Then I didn't see her again for a while, and when she returned she had
    become very very skinny; she was always skinny, but she had become even
    skinnier. And her muscles were much more defined; she wore a two piece
    and her abs were like those of a man, really square; it made me kind of
    think, hmmm...i didn't think DOPE but i was suspicious...something just
    seemed off. And that would have been right at the time she says she
    started doping.

    --------------

    I love how everyone feels so sorry for Geneviéve. She won more races
    than anyone else in North America...went to the Olympics...made hundreds
    of thousands of dollars before she turned 25. And everyone talks about
    how bad and horrible her life was.

    I got news for you - I don't see any reason to feel sorry for her, let
    alone for having defined abs or being "quiet."

    dumbass,

    fanboys do not want to hold the athletes accountable.

    instead they blame the managers, doctors and "the system", even though
    in the majority of cases it's the athlete that sought out the doping.

    that is why roussel and voet and saiz are who knows where and guys
    like neil stephens are national coaches and millar is the posterboy
    for clean cycling and basso will be inviting pez over to check out
    his villa and porsche ater he signs his next seven figure contract.

    It's true that Jeanson and her entourage were responsible for stealing
    Olympic berths from her, but who does she blame for stealing her

    Yeah, interesting, and Anne wrote a letter too earlier when that deal was

    If you look at women's cycling at a glance over the years, doping is very
    rare compared to the men sides by far. I can count on one hand how many
    offences I can remember, and most of those were minor, like questionable
    tainted supplements and such. I can remember Neben, Jeanson, Stahurskaya,
    Luperini, ah.. I saw the thing abut Golay a while back, but the worse
    offenders seem to be Zinaida Stahurskaya and Jeanson. There are others, in
    fact that doping page used to post the names of the women, but it was quite
    a small list compared to the men.

    I still can't figure out why everyone refers to Jeanson's
    "entourage". It was Aubut. I saw her race many times, and that all
    there was. She wasn't surrounded by bodyguards or official spokesmen
    or flunkies.

    Cindy gave a talk somewhere or another in which I was in attendance. At that
    time she was about 30 or so and looked to be 40 or more. Chances are that
    she is still remarkably crippled from shooting anything she could get her
    hands on into her veins looking for more performance.

    She's co-owner not far away in Bezerkly.

    was there. But she doesn't look too bad in that photo.

    I don't think you can draw any conclusions regarding steroid abuse and
    premature aging. Riding in the sun for many hours is not very good for
    you either, but perfectly legal.

    I want to correct something here: it appears the marriage was in 2006,
    and was essentially a marriage of convenience according to the Velonews
    transcription of the Radio-Canada report. That's odd, but not creepy-odd.

    dumbass,

    it is more than odd - that she would not only be hanging around aubut
    after testing positive in 2005 but she would marry him.

    i'm not even sure how it facilitated anything, aren't they both
    canadian ?
