Straight Outta PROvo...

Blogging is so '06. Blog-quitting is this years' blogging.
Believe Floyd...

I am sure that he just has a naturally high testosterone level on the 17th day of a grand tour.

I am going to try and keep this short as I really do have more important business to attend to.  I knew this was going to happen.  I almost put it in the "kicked Floyd's ass" post, but then I thought I should stop with the bitter anti-doping posts and just celebrate an exciting ride and accept that he is pretty much playing on a level field with all the other dirtballs.  

One of my teammates was lamenting the state of our sport right now.  To me, this is a good thing.  At least now, guys are testing positive and it's not being covered up.  Yeah, the sport will lose some money, but there is a chance (pretty small, unfortunately) that this could lead to something better.  I am just waiting for one of these guys to blow the lid off and tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

If I-Shares still takes over Phonak's sponsorship at the end of the year, I will take that to mean they just don't get a rat's ass if guys want to use dope.  Every top guy on that team has come up positive. 

Sorry if this has been a bit incoherent.

Fairwell and ado,

RB

At least one of those guys already talked, but everyone quickly forgot. I seem to remember a guy named Jesus Manzano. Then there was a Simeoni who got the crap harassed out of him by the Amgen 1-ball wonder superstud.

what about the whole Phonak connection and Tyler? There are just so many things that can only most logically add up to everyone is doping.  I think the UCA needs to mandate and administer drug testing.  Maybe then we will find out why a Cat 1   didn't wave back to me while riding in Emigration!

Yeah, I am up with Manzano and Simeoni, but the Paul Kimmage's of the world are too easily overlooked.  If you don't get that reference, go find a copy of "Rough Ride".  Do it.  Do it now.  It would be good, for me at least, to see a top level guy who came from EPostal come out with it all.
