  1. If I hear one more person say what an "admirable guy," or hear one more person wax poetically about
    how he "could just dart away in the high mountains" I think I'm gonna puke. The guy was a doper, and
    he won a bunch of bike races in large part because he cheated. While I certainly feel bad for him on
    a personal level, as far as what happened to his cycling career,

    just because the guy's dead doesn't somehow make him not a cheater.

    Think hard before you do dope, boys and girls...

    You obviuosly don't know [censored] about cycling and about Pantani's career, so

    Just loads of bad Karma and no originality.

  7. Be real. Your language reveals your intellect. True, Pantani likely cheated (as did the majority of
    the peloton)to increase his cycling success. To say that a sad death at 34 is justified because of
    this is nonsense. In mainstream American sports, rapists and murderers (OJ, Kobe, Tyson) remain
    celebrities.

    As bike racing fans we're entertained by the high level of riding of the pros, but the sick secret
    is that guys are paying with their lives for this.

    Payback? I can't decide if you are truly retarded or not. After all, you do make some sense on
    occasion. Too bad the suicide of a depressed cyclists does not warrant such an occasion for you.

    I had the same thought. The details are a bit different each time but the fact is that the pressure
    to dope (and the cost of getting caught) are both far too high and not a logical answer in site. I
    really don't think I can blame any particular entity. I just hope that those who have not yet
    crossed the line can at least see that it is not worth it.

    Pantani was not my cup of tea, but that does not mean he was not used as a scapegoat in many ways.
    He did not know how to handle it. I do believe he was guilty, but that guilt would have been (or
    should have been) mitigated somewhat by the scale of abuse that still exists. There is still a
    significant incentive for almost all parties concerned to point to Pantani and a few others as if
    they are the only abusers. The fact is that at any given race, these guys were beating others that
    were also doped.

    This description of Pantani ripping the legs off of the rest of the pack only because he was the
    lone doper is complete [censored].

    Yeah. I mean, having a hematocrit of 60 when they bring you into the hospital doesn't mean
    anything....

    Oh please! Time for a reality check. There has been a tremendous amount of circumstantial evidence
    as to his drug use, including doing suspension time for possession of a hypo with insulin in it.

  15. Before the cyclist there is the man, and Pantani was a great man whose weakness was to become a
    victim of cicumstances.

    Uh.... last time I checked he was never caught with a hypo in his possession. They found it in the
    trash of a hotel room he was supposed to have stayed in. Sure, its very logical that you would
    assume it was Pantani's, but it *might* not have been.

    If you'll note the latest tests they've been running suggests that 1/3rd of the peloton has been
    using EPO which is the HARDEST drug to detect by far. Anyone that is likely to use would be
    using EPO.

    So stick your "majority of the peloton" up your nose.

    In order to do that you'll have to remove your head from you ass because Trdina never said
    that Marco DESERVED to die. He said that he deserved what he got from cycling and that is
    completely true.

    It is unfortunate that Marco died. I would have liked to see him stay involved in cycling at some
    level. The man could bring on such emotions in people that he probably would have made a great
    announcer for races.

    But now all is gone. So long Marco.

    But as Trdina said, think long and hard about doping because it has long lasting effects on you both
    physically and psychologically.

    If something is deserved, then it is also justified. You said he deserved it.
