You should see what happens in the amateur races I attend... Is it the same in England?
now that's cocaine not doping, but I tend to believe the 2 things are quite linked....

Aye.......not per se a performance drug problem.............but think of the cause of death of Marco Pantani.

i'd heard this was going to happen a while ago, a friend of mine who races in belgium regularly said "everytime i see bonnan he's no more than a hundred yards from a pharmacie"

i'm not supprised at all.

bloody crap for cycling again though.

:roll: They have a career that others would pay for, yet they misuse them. Anyway, I thought that Boonen was looking good for this years Tour, especially to defend his sprint title. When will the pros learn ? :roll:

What a mug. Still, give a young man money and all. Would imagine if you were to test a lot of premiership footballers the results would be similar

the footballers have the money, drugs, girls etc, then get caught and splashed across the front page of the sun, then apologise, miss a match, agree to go to rehab then get praised and sympathy for giving up drugs for a week or 2. then everyone says oh he was misled etc. football, utter crap! 22 grown men prancing around a field looking like hairdressers earning a fortune for kicking a bag of wind and occaisionly acting hurt to get a penalty.

boring.



incase you hadn't realised, i don't like football!

p.s no offence like!

Fully agree, they spend 90mins - with a 20min break half way - most of the time standing still watching someone else with the ball - and then say they're knackered and expect to get paid the national debt of a small nation.

I think Tommy boy has been an absolute effin idiot!

Drugs and competitive cycling have gone hand in hand since it began. It will take a long time yet for cycling to become a clean sport.

I, as usual, am very much looking forward to the Tour- as it is such bloody great TV!

Went to watch it in the Alps a couple of years back, saw Armstrong properly ripping the field apart...

Will be hoping Millar gets a stage or 2 this year!
