The idea would be to keep the doping and other agencies so busy chasing
down false leads that they would completely discredit themselves, and not
be able to keep up with normal business.

You think this hasn't already happened? Operacion Puerto is over there -->

months; cycling is too anchored in bad, old habits to evolve in the right
direction. And I think that gradually it will die out.

Yes he's right, cycling is about to die out. You can see it by the
way the Champs-Élysées looks like a ghost town when the final stage
finishes there, and how they have to put up barricades on Alpe d'Huez to
keep those pesky wild boar from attacking the cyclists.

I think the expression here is "[censored] in lots of donuts"

And I think that gradually it will die out. I'm talking about
cycling at the top level. Too bad for the journalists whose job it is to
relate the performances of the best riders in the world, but if that's
indeed where we're headed, cycling will have deserved to die.....All of
these liars have taken us for idiots. (snipped)

TMobile extends to 2010.

<T-Mobile appointed the American Bob Stapleton as its new manager two
months ago after sacking Jan Ullrich, the 1997 Tour de France winner,
and Oscar Sevilla, riders who were linked to a drugs investigation in
Spain.>

Well, that oughta spoil some rides out there in the fresh air and
sunshine. --D-y

I reached this conclusion after David Millar confessed and
consequently
lost his French Chalet and French girlfriend to French authorities.
Once I stated the above, I was almost driven from rbr, from the
resulting hostility. Now it's almost everyone's opinion, how quickly
minds can change, in the face of overwhelming evidence. I still
cycle, but don't give beans about what's happening in pro-racing.

French girlfriends are overrated. Only cyclists get French girlfriends.
Real athletes like golfers and movie stars get Swedes because you get that
European je ne se quos without a lot of the overhead (no pun intended) that
comes with a Frenchwoman. Ask anyone who's had a real French girlfriend
and they will tell you that Millar probably confessed just so that the
French authorities would take the pretentious, nagging, orally-fixated, and
nasally-talking [censored] off his hands.

Don't forget dangerous. Just ask Spider Sabich about his French gf
Claudine Longet.
