Excuse me, but wouldn't the act of telling where he got it from, which you DID say, be the same as 'naming names', which you now deny? I'm just saying. |

he's back ... http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ricc...ali-stage-race But will he have any friends in the peloton when he returns next week? Dumbass, 50% of the peloton is still doped up. So yes, half of the peloton will still be his friend and 100% of the riders from Spain and Italy. Stop talking like a Garmin rider. Thanks, Magilla |

But will he have any friends in the peloton when he returns next week? As I frequently prove here, I'm dense and have no memory. Ricco got busted, and by all accounts was a pretty reckless doper, but what did he do that was so much more odious than the usual doping offense? I mean, yeah, dopers suck, but I don't think it generally engenders inherent hatred from the peloton. -- Ryan Cousineau / "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls." "In rec.bicycles.racing, we coach them." From the quotes I've seen attributed to other pros, such as Cavendish, the 'peloton' thinks he's unrepentant. Oh, let me get this straight.....according to you and the rocket scientists like the Caveman, it's perfectly okay if you dope...but if you're not "repentant" about it, then that's what trips the antipathy switch from the peloton? Get the **** out of here with that nonsense. And what does the Caveman do when he talks to Columbia/HTC women's D.S. Rene Wenzel, who never showed any remorse for injecting "extract of cortisone" into the hineys of Greg Strock and Erich Kaiter? http://velonews.competitor.com/2006/...-to-court_9763 Magilla |

Presumably he does the same thing Millar did when he talked to his old boss Mauro Rhymes With Perflouro. Fred Flintstein |
