soubriquet 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 The Grauniad: "The countdown to the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in London on July 7 looks set to be fraught as uncertainty grows over whether more riders allegedly linked to the Operation Puerto blood doping inquiry may face expulsion from the event and conflict continues among the teams over the approach to be adopted." Why don't we go back to the old days of amateur vs. professional, except make it "clean" vs. "chemically enhanced"? Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 They busted Riis (sp?) and could be stripping his win in 96 or 97 if I'm correct. Looks like all my childhood hero's were on some kind of gear! Test them all everyday and weed out the cheaters. I know there have to be a few honest riders out there.

soubriquet 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 We should allow the borgs to take whatever they want, just to see what chemistry can do. Have a seperate stream for clean people, although I'm sure that would be abused. Link to post Share on other sites
kaiser soce 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I think in bodybuilding they have a clean division but there is still some conjecture as to whether the 'clean' guys/gals are actually clean. Link to post Share on other sites

How about sponsorship from drug companies? This stuff isn't being cooked up in the garage. "Our drugs are better than ...." "Buy more drugs.." Link to post Share on other sites

I have known people who have competed in the natural comps. Some take drugs and some don't. They can't test for everything. I don't understand what the drug takers are thinking as they could just go in the anybody comps. Maybe they think they will have a better chance with the naturals. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 They have a clean division? So there is a "dirty division" then? Link to post Share on other sites
