[FF5]Knix Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Think I saw in the paper today, that he was 12-13th overall after the last race/time trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggy Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I knew it.. i knew it... Well he was in Phonak Needle Systems.. it was pretty obvious HAHAHAHAHAH GOOD JOB USA Why did he do it?... its so hard to understand those guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[FF5]Knix Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 WTF you mean "good job USA"? The last Dane to win anything was this guy... You think we cornered the market in doping? Europeans practically invented steroid use. In the old days you would have female East German Olympic athletes so filled with pharmacology that by the end of their event they would have a 5 o'clock shadow.

[FF5]Knix Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Reputation as a rider In the aftermath of the performance enhancing drugs crisis in cycling following the 1998 Tour de France, Riis acquired the nickname of Mr. 60%, a suggestion that he has used doping. Although it is usually stated that this was Riis' nickname in the peloton, there is no evidence to support such a claim, and it has been flatly denied by Danish former rider Brian Holm. The 60% is an allusion to a high hematocrit (red blood cell) level, an indication of EPO usage. It has been published, but never proven, that Riis had a hematocrit level of 56% during one test in July 1995; Well above typical natural levels, as well as his published reading of 41% in the offseason earlier that year.[3] The earliest mention of the nickname can be traced to interviews with riders of Festina in 1998-2000, who apparently suggested that if they had been doped above 50%, then Riis must have been doped to at least 60% since he was able to win the Tour de France in 1996 ahead of the Festina rider Richard Virenque. The nickname has since caught the public imagination, and is today mostly kept alive by hostile media. Bjarne Riis was never tested positive, and now run a strict doping policy on his cycling team.

Spacko Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Yeah, I think the conclusion is everyone (except the Norwegians of course ) are doped, the difference is some do it better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiXsa Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 last weak was bad week for USA`s sports indeed First Landis and after that EVEN BIGGER SHOCK Justin Gatlin the world and olympic 100 metres champion and world record holder (with Asafa Powell) fails drugs test. So thats why he didnt want to face Powell And look at the excuses http://www.eurosport.com/athletics/zurich-...sto935248.shtml *shocked* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TNT] Sonic Goo Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Here's the latest. The B-sample results aren't in yet, but they've determined the type of testosteron found in the A sample, and it's synthetic. Also interesting: Landis' lawyers are saying they're expecting the B sample to be positive as well. (Which should be expected within a few days.)

[FF5]Knix Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Like I said before, if test B comes up possitive, then he cheated and should be stripped of the title. Same with Gatlin. A Brit in my office was asking me about the problems with steriod use and the recent crack down in baseball, and American Football. He told me in England, and drug usage whether recreational or performance enhancing warrants a complete bann from the Premiership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TNT] Sonic Goo Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Well, it's over. Stupid thing is that if he had simply confessed, he'd only have gotten one year suspension... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[FF5]Knix Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Really? Didn't know that... The problem is that they NEVER do admit it. The new term is all about plausibale denial.
