Was it yogi berra who said, 'show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser'. I'm still an Ullrich fan but he does tend to take all those second places a little too in stride.

drugs in sports?
no shit.
athletes denying it.
no shit.
reporters reporting it.
no shit.
Everyone is making money on it.
No Shit.
I have never taken any sport enhancing drugs.
But my dietician might have slipped something in my drink without my knowing it. ;)
Anyone reading about GM, as in genetically modified cells?
Wave of the Future. Or present.
They aint drugs, and they do enhance.
hey guys, I didn't mean to interrupt your discussion. I'm just used to making ironique and satirique comments whenever somebody starts generalizing intentions and attitudes on the basis of nationality.
I lived in the US for over a year, spend two years in the francophone and am now living in the germanspeaking part of switzerland. I myself am german.. It's just my humoristic way to react to such comments. normally it works out pretty well and everybody gets the point.
as far as this discussion is concerned, I don't really wonder, that the test was made in france and it doesn't surprise me either, that the leak is a french, since the urin samples are taken in france and the responsible institute is located in france, because the tour is french... If the tests would have been made and turned up in the US, now, that would have surprised me.
as far as the way it was published is concerned, I can assure you that the european media is very skeptic as well and mistrusts the intentions of l'equipe.
as far as doping is concerned, I would be astonished if anyone of the top cyclists isn't doped. legally, if somebody is doped or not is a question of detectability and if the substance is already on the list. In both cases you're a doper, if you're legally a doper is another question..
The French are the greatest cyclists on the planet. Just ask them!!
