Bode Miller is a Bitch

**powslut** · 12-23-2005, 06:09 AM

You knew the rules when you got into it so quit fucking whining.

I hope he quits being such a prima donna, otherwise good riddance to him.

Miller didn't qualify for the second run after he ran into a gate and then some bumps to finish 54th in his first heat. The American has fallen in lost two races — both giant slaloms.

Afterward, the reigning overall world champion refused to take a random test to check the height of his boot and was fined 999 Swiss francs ($887 Cdn).

The American, who has clashed with ski authorities in the past, said he had already taken off his boots and could have adjusted the height if he wanted.

"It's really typical. With drug testing it's the same way," said Miller, calling the FIS's equipment rules illogical.

Overall World Cup champion Bode Miller has threatened to quit after being fined by the International Ski Federation (FIS) on Thursday. American Miller was fined 1,000 Swiss francs ($761) for failing to take a regulation boot test after finishing the first leg of a World Cup slalom.

"If they don't lift the fine I will quit the tour," Miller told Reuters.

"It makes no sense. I want nothing to do with these people and the way they run the tour," the 28-year-old said.

Miller did not qualify for the second leg of the slalom after making an error on his first run and finishing 3.44 seconds behind leader Benjamin Raich of Austria.

He complained of pain in his left knee and quickly left the finish area. Miller injured the knee in a crash during the combined downhill at the 2001 World Championships.

U.S. Ski Team media manager Mark Habermann said Miller planned to have an RMI scan in Innsbruck later on Thursday.

I'm pulling for him to get back on track. It seems like these fuck fuck games are how they take people down. I remember coaches would set coarses with weird turns and stuff to throw the #1 seed off then have people's lifts checked. It is kind of bullshit, but you can't let it get you down, and he oughtta know that by now.

Don't let 'em getcha like that Bode!!

Maybe we'll have another Nobis in a few years....that would be OK w/me.

he's whining about a $900 fine?

i mean, come on!

anybody that goes up to bretton woods knows that bretton woods sponsors him. BRETTON WOODS. i dont want to know how much they pay him, but it has to be a lot. he's praised as a god on their site.

One of my nehpews goes to the camp his family runs. Had to leave a few days early last summer and was bummed. Bode took him to go cliff jumping the morning he had to leavecause he felt bad for him. The kid was just so f'ing stoked. Bode's ok by me.

Here's the beauty part. Last winter I told the kid about the ongoing 'Darron/Bode can kick Tanner's ass' deal. So he says to Bode "My uncle says you can kick Tanner's ass'.

Bode: 'My Mom can kick Tanner's ass'.

HA!

The fact that he's spancered by Bretton Woods is perhaps some of the strongest irony I have witnessed in my life.

Bode Miller IS a whiney bitch and it doesn't really matter any ways because Steve Nyman is going to take his place as the ski team badass. Bode will soon fade away and finally someone like Steve will give the ski team a good reputation because he is such a good hearted, unwhiney, extremely talented yet down to earth badass.

**elevens** · 12-23-2005, 09:38 AM

Maybe Bode was just pissed off because he missed the 2nd run and said the wrong thing at the wrong time. Bode has always felt the FIS was a complete joke of an organization (as most do) and has never hidden his feelings. Give the guy a break - he had a bad day.

The man is a stud and I believe the globe in his trophy case proves that point.

**Benny Profane** · 12-23-2005, 09:42 AM

I smell French people in power trying to piss off an American.

"Spancered" is too strong of a word I think -his real sponsors pay the bills. I'm pretty sure Bretton Woods just gave him a house (a nice one though, and maybe a little dough) in exchange for using his name/image as honorary "director of skiing". NH in general has staked a claim on him.

**Tippster** · 12-23-2005, 09:56 AM

He's a Bitch.

So is Hermann Maier.

So was Tomba.

What are we talking about again? Let the dude ski and blow off steam when he fucks up. I do, and I bet you guys do too.

It's all about Daron this year anyways.

Perhaps if more athletes spoke out about the FIS and their illogical and iron fisted rule over snowsports there might be some change. FIS needs to feel the winds of change and Bode may well be the first fresh breath of that wind.

**glademaster** · 12-23-2005, 10:48 AM

Bode is a bitch, I didn't like him from the second he came into prominance on the World Cup. He exudes cockiness like few other athletes I've seen(save T.O.). If he wants to quit, good for him, he's only hurting America's image overseas and displaying high levels of douchebaggery. If it wasn't for the FIS and his sponsors, he'd still be shitting in the woods in NH instead of making millions, so for that reason alone he should shut his hole.

**weibo** · 12-23-2005, 10:52 AM

It's not like he just appeared on the FIS scene this year, he has been racing by these rules since he was 10 years old. He knows the rules and the shit they go through. He is one of many racers and they all get the hassles, shit there was a Euro( Didier Defago -Swiss) who was disqualified and got knocked off the podium a few weeks back for an over height set up. What did he do, he accepted it, was he pissed YES did he freak at FIS no ( his ski techs probably got a shit kicking). I don't think Rahlves would be bitching the same way. Bode is a whiny bitch.

Edit to add defago's name

I agree that the FIS is a bitch the same way that the FIM and the AMA are as well. Whenever one orginazation gets almost unlimited power things are certain to take a dive. And stupid things are sure to happen like asking to measure boots after they are off......thats just retarded. Like all the top guys only have one pair of boots. The same sort of thing goes on the the ISDE every year. Except the FIM does everything by the book when it comes to the Americans, Aussies, and Canadians, and then seem to look the other way at many of the other teams. I am sure that Bode said what he said because he was pissed off about his run and then the FIS goes on a power trip, thats just adding insult to injury.

If he's a bitch he's one ugly one at that.

Wow. I dont blame him for complaing about bumps in Giant Slalom.
It aint supposed to be a mogul competition.

**runethechamp** · 12-23-2005, 11:42 AM

I just want to see him bitching about everything the second he starts winning again.

no one else in the race seemed to have a problem with the bumps. If he had stayed on line and not got caught in the ruts he would have been fine.

Hmmmm. Bode Garmisch?

Exactly. DR is the man, super-bad-ass, charges the hill on pow days as well as on the circut, and doesn't act like a prima donna like Bode and the other Euro bitches. Don't get me wrong, i like Bode and pull for him, but would love to see DR take the DH title and win some big races this yr, esp. in the Olympics. Maybe then he will get some of the "hype" and credit like Bode.
