^^Want.

Totally agree... but the way things are going I can't see it happening anytime soon. Perhaps realistic alternative would have been a better way of phrasing it.

That why mums go to ASDA... oh wait.

"...I still think truth and reconciliation is an unworkable idea."

Maybe so, read very probably, but what is a workable alternative?

Loving it... only it makes me want cats even more. Still, it's absolutely brilliant.

Whatever it is, it taste a little bit like what I'm having for dinner...

"Indra's new bike..."

Needs moaaar seat post...

Feel a sudden urge to buy new kit. Can't actually walk or even stand up, let alone cycle. Hey ho...

That sucks... Still better quit while you're ahead. Sounds like it was great while it lasted.

"He can't win though, can he?"

Probably not.

"How Riis has managed to escape sanction when it's clear he facilitated widespread doping in his teams is beyond me."

That makes two of us.

"Rasmussen spent considerable time with the Danish anti-doping agency, detailing his doping regime, suppliers, facilitators and so on. I think anyone who does that should be commended, as it helps WADA et al in combating doping."

This is an ongoing investigation I believe... I'll be looking forward to hearing their conclusion.

"I'd separate your list of examples into two, those that have told all and those that have admitted as little as possible. Hamilton and Rasmussen are in the former, Armstrong and Riis in the latter."

I'm not convinced. While I agree that Armstrong and Riis only admitted as little as possible, Hamilton is now making a very comfortable living telling "the truth" and obviously Rasmussen is fighting to save his business.

In any event there are still way to many skeletons in the closet, and everyone involved in professional cycling in that era has something to tell. Frankly not enough people are coming forward, and until they do there's no hope in hell of even beginning to resolve the issue.

Mmmm... bacon. Oh wait...

Sooo... by admission a career long deceitful liar and a cheat, with nothing to gain from carrying on lying other than saving his business and of course selling more copies of his book, is Rasmussen now considered a creditable witness?

Personal I'll believe just about anything by now, but nevertheless I consider it a vital problem that virtually every rider who's ever come clean, including Armstrong, Hamilton, Riis, Rasmussen and so on, could be accused of doing so for personal gain and/or damage limitation.

In this specific case for instance, what exactly makes Rasmussen so much more creditable than than Riis and others, past and present riders, getting the knife in Rasmussen's new book? Anyway you look at it, the list of people stepping forward purely for the sake of the sport are few and far between.

Obviously.

Brilliant!

Also what drøn said... equal torque should resolve the issue.

I've never lost a chainring bolt. True story.

Wonder if it will ever end...

Ha!

Trudat... regardless of where the damn crank was made.

Ah okay... still sounds a little freaky. Did he directly (in so many words) accuse Riss of facilitating the doping programme on the team?

"I'm tuned in - and ready to display my horrific English skills."

Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciate... Do I understand it correctly that Riis actively (according to Rasmussen) actually encouraged/facilitated doping on his team?

Also, did he (Rasmussen) blood dope with the help of his parents... using their blood?
