Flyer was 100% correct in his understanding of the ubiquitous level of illegal trauma and research doping by road and track cyclists. (from cow blood and horse growth hormones to research EPO from Roche Pharma)
He predicted that they were all on drugs. That was correct.
Ulrich was a doper
Armstrong was a doper
Hamilton was a doper
Cofidis is a team of dopers with a long ugly histroy of lying (Millar, Vassuer, Vandenbrocke, Sassons, Gamaunt)
Floyd Landis was a doper
Riis was a doper
Museeuw was a doper
Camenzind was a doper
Brochard was a doper
Zabel is a doper (still is a doped winner)
Just because a fan projects love and emotion onto a doped billboard does NOT make that doping machine honest or noble.
TV sport is pure pharma theater. Many races are fixed as well as doped. Frauds with microphone smooth out the kinks. Does anyone really believe Phil Liggett is the voice of English-based cycling???? The guy is a complete joke. He can't even read the rider numbers and his doping apologizes are odious.
Not even tream directors understand all of the cheating going on under their noses every week.
Flyer was brutally honest, but he was always on target.
Dr. Cuddy and I often refect on how truth offends so many people.
