The Thread about Nothing....

Point #5. I've got a 28yo mad rooter flatmate, it's impressive but kinda dull when you get used to his mad rhythm, and also you just can't be [censored] being nice to multiple women you're forced to answer the door to when you're rubbish at names even if there was only one of them.
But Deliveroo is a new Uber like app food delivery service here, and all delivered by cyclists, early adopters were couriers and the like, I kinda respected the business model maybe, as I saw some nice bikes getting around and met their decent riders with the box on the back. But it's more run of the mill now, and [censored] if I'm gonna answer a knock on the door for them while plus1or2 is squealing upstairs, so I said come in, and go upstairs and it's that bedroom door, please go in taking photos on your phone.
It worked out well for all really.

Oh god. 48 minutes now. Rogan just wants to know the best methods of doping he can put his fighters on. It's sad. And LA says it was all [censored] from 99.
Crikey, I should ask that exgirlfriend 99er what her login was. Awwwwwwwww.

52 minutes. Noone threw [censored] at him. I should probably do a Kickstarter for a trip to America. I promise to throw [censored] at him.

63 minutes to 67ish. [censored] me. Seriously, where is Floyd these days? And the answer is protecting his mental health, staying away from this [censored]. Rogan, you're a moron.
Seriously, find Floyd, a bottle of bourbon, and then find Lance, and a couple of handfuls of [censored] to throw in that [censored] face.

Ok Classo, if you're gonna watch any of it, watch it from 1:11:15 to 1:25.00
Drugs, money, power, friends, entitlement, ouch.

Nah. I'll spew up listening to that [censored] banging on about all his celeb and vip mates and rock star lifestyle

Also, more importantly, how come you can write cnut and I get ****?

[censored]

Ah. Plural [censored] is ok. The more [censored] the merrier

Ouch

[censored] but not [censored].
Or even f***.
Gold

that [censored]'s face
thank gob I forgot the appropriate apostraphe.

Apostrophe.
I knew that.

Grammar [censored].
Tried to fix that last post. Too late.

Yeah, sorry Beeps. I'm with Classic. I won't watch it either. I've said it elsewhere... he's not a sociopath as many people say. Calling him that gives him an excuse, like saying someone is autistic. He's chosen to be the way he is. He's just a little man; a cruel man; a self-absorbed bully. He viciously went after other people - as Classic said, went out of his way to ruin others lives.

I just wish he would go away and die. Quietly.

Oh, by the way. One of my best mates is an EPO researcher. Probably one of the world's leading authorities. But his research relates to what it was intended for: therapeutic use for people with low RBCs caused by trauma, kidney or bone disease, gastro-intestinal problems etc. In his case, it's about trauma.

He was telling me if it wasn't for cycling, we probably still wouldn't know that EPO could be safely injected directly into a vein. In the early days, the riders used it by injecting into the flesh (bum, abdomen, arm etc). But when it became detectable, they had to resort to micro-dosing which involved much smaller doses injected straight into the blood stream. No one had done that before the peloton did.

I am sure there are other things they're using now which haven' been through clinical trials. The stuff won't be on the banned list because it won't have been approved for human use (that was the get-out-of-jail-free card for Essendon). And the riders will have convinced themselves that they're not cheating because they're not taking anything banned. My guess is it won't be a substance or process that works on the red blood cells. It'll be something that improves the efficiency of the mitochondria.

Hinault was the last great rider who you can say to yourself "that was all him, no help". Maybe Fignon too. Only maybe though. So my line is at Hinault. Therafter, I assume every performance was augmented.

I am sure a [censored] of riders used amphetamines in days of yore. But apart from making riders insane, it didn't give any greater athletic capacity. Not like steriods or EPO or blood transfusions.

Hinault. Cortisone and testosterone. At least when he was at Renault. Maybe not when at La Vie Claire.

Fignon. Cortisone and amphetamine, the latter in training at least. The theory goes if you have a clout in training you can train harder.

This is why I get [censored] on the heads in the sand AFL fans who say 'oh (insert drugbag player here) wasn't taking stuff on game day. Ice and coke are only "recreational"'.

Oh. Sigh. I thought it was only amphetamines with Hinault.

Yeah, the AFL's monitoring policy is laughable. I read it a while back and seem to recall that you could not be where you said you would be, and hence unavailable for a random test, three times before you were in trouble. It doesn't get any more favourable for cheats.

Sorry for that drunken ranting. I don't dare read any of it again. I certainly regretted last nights excess when I just had to do a couple of hours work crawling under a floor.
I think a very quiet new years eve is in order. Might see if my leg muscles have recovered enough to cope with a ride around the harbour to watch some fireworks tonight. Doc actually prescribed me a week of prednisolone to try to get them all working again. Might not even be worth taking bikes to Tassie at this rate.

Oops. I meant Happy New Year Tannerso_O
