Barloworld rejects calls for UCI investigation of Cox's death By Susan Westemeyer Quoted: Cox died Wednesday morning of complications following surgery on a leg artery. The South African cyclist started his pro career with the team Amore & Vita, whose manager Ivano Fanini this week said that he hoped the death was not related to doping. "How many riders have resorted to EPO, which renders the blood dense and can cause serious vascular problems." He called on the UCI to "open an investigation into the true cause of this death." That is just so ****ed up and disgusting. The anti-doping zealots and their belief everyone is a scumbag, and total lack of respect for anyone or anything makes me want to puke. I wonder if he's going to go to the funeral and tell the kids mother, "He was probably a doper, and killed himself with the stuff. Good thing too!"? Just when you think humans can't sink much lower... Bill C |

Oh, Fanini has always been a grandstanding, self-righteous asshole. Saying this is part and parcel of his attention-seeking way. That is just so ****ed up and disgusting.

In the 1950's, people were astonished to see so many people dying in car crashes, only later when the newspapers started reporting that alcohol was involved did the public start being educated about the cause of all these deaths. It's sad for the families involved that their Dad, or son died in a car crash because he was drunk, but the public has a right to know what is behind all the mayhem. |

They already know what happened, he had a known potential complication, albeit an unlikely one, to the surgical procedure he underwent. It could've happened to anyone. |

It was probably not a good idea to fly home so soon after the operation given the known circulation problems on long flights, particularly in economy class. Apparently he also did some gardening once home which probably was also not a good idea. Come to think of it gardening is dangerous for cyclists, I seem to recall McEwen (or maybe it was O"Grady) injuring their back while gardening just before the tour a few years ago. |

Yeah, he probably shouldn't have flown so soon after the surgery. |

It's the Bob Ojeda Syndrome. From Wiki: He pitched well in 1988 but was involved in what some consider one of the most ridiculous accidents in baseball history when he severed the tip of his left middle finger while trimming his hedges in mid- September. The old cyclists had the right idea. No swimming, no ice cream, don't use the legs unless you're riding or boinking. That's how they got to be old cyclists. R |

I do not believe the stories athletes tell when recounting their injuries. Hedge trimming accident? Puhleeeze. A local baseball player suffered serious injuries in the off-season, told come crapola story, found out he was doing motorcycle stunts in a parking lot. Some athlete broke his wrist, said it happened when the golf cart stopped abruptly; yeah, he was drunk and riding on top of the golf cart. Anybody believes these stories lacks a critical facility. They injure themselves doing stupid ****. The old cyclists had the right idea. No swimming, no ice cream, don't use the legs unless you're riding or boinking.
