Court to rule on Tour de France title for Floyd Landis
Jon knows far more about the science than you do Chris. At least he and some others helped us to better understand it. You cloudn't be bothered with it and didn't provide anything. (12 hrs ago | post #43)

I wasn't slagging you off Chris. I was just pointing out from memory what had accured during that time. I do go through these forums and re-read some of the posts. Actually, Jon did an outstanding job in explaining the science just as ZENman did in explaining the legal aspect of this case. I admit that my belief in CAS turned out wrong. But, I'll wait to see if I can read their decision. As to who started the name calling in this forum, I went and back tracked the forum to find who started it all. It was Will who started that process. Cheers (Saturday | post #41)
who WINS the DETOUR of France?
I would not have asked the question if I knew the answer Chris. But, I do see double standards when they're full blown in everyones face. I'm looking to see if Bjarne Riis is with his CSC team in this years race. I believe that if an organization kicks one rider out for admitting to doping, than all others admitting to cheating should recieve the same treatment. Bjarne Riis was recently reintstated by the ASO in winning the TDF. Reason for that was that his adminition of doping took place after the ten year period. Cheers (Saturday | post #10)

It was a good race for the first day. I hate seeing the riders crash. But, that happens with human reactions. It was nice to see the extra points taken away this year. (Saturday | post #51)
Do You Believe That "ASO" Is Being Ethical?
You could also say the same about the Europeans. There are many people who are not interested in cycling. There are more people interested in watch football there in Europe. The European Cup is an example where more fans watch that in comparison to the TDF. Most people who watch cycling and the TDF know who won it last year. Many sports bars have added many more tlevisions in their facilities. So, they're showing a lot of coverage. Lets also realize that many sports sections of local newpapers also cover the racing results of the TDF throughout the US. Cheers (Saturday | post #12)

1. So, you say! 2. That isn't quite true Chris. During the 2007 TDF fans were still giving riders bottles and the riders were still taking them. They did pour the liquid over themselves. 3. I seriously doubt that there is any rider today only drinking water considering that the teams have learned a lot more about surviving races and keeping the body hydrated.

Prison riots are still contained within their walls. I was referring to the streets in cities. I did forget about the LA riots after the Rodney King case. When four police officers were let go after that case. But Chris, try comparing Europe to the US. You've had far more riots going on there than we've had here in the US. Cheers (Saturday | post #46)

That may be due to the event that you haven't met many people here in the US. Many of my clients have concealed gun permits. And many of the members of the various veteran organizations I've belonged to have the same. Cheers (Saturday | post #45)

Thanks for answering the question Chris. That is a case of double standards being conducted by the ASO. If they really want to rid the sport of cycling, than they need to deal with everyone on the same level. You certainly don't seem bothered by this going on. (Saturday | post #8)

Now that's really funny. (Saturday | post #10)

You're the only one slagging people off Chris. There is nothing wrong with my memory. And I do not believe that people offered lame excuses here. Even Will showed us that he took the time to research for supporting his views here. You on the other hand were very lazy, as you did nothing to support for your opinions. (Saturday | post #39)

Chris & Raymond Can you both answer a question for me? Erik Zabel admitted to dopping, yet he has been allowed to race in the TDF 2007. Bjarne Riis admitted to dopping, yet he wasn't allowed to come to the TDF 2007 as team manager. (Friday Jul 4 | post #6)

1. Well, I can see that this one went right over your head Chris. What is was referring to was Raymond comparing France to the US. If you take into consideration the size of the population of Europe, you'll see a large portion experiencing mental health issues. Also realize that mental health issues are taking place in all countries. 2. I wasn't talking about the UK Chris. So, why did you feel that you had to bring that up? 3. Have you had to carry a gun when you came to the US in the past Chris? (Friday Jul 4 | post #37)

I'm not looking over anyones shoulder Chris. I'm just remembering what you had stated to us here. It happned during the time you went traveling to Belgium and Austria. Everytime you came back from your trips, you were asking us to answer all of your questions, rather than you taking the time to read the information for yourself. Lame Excuses? Well, that's calling the kettle black Chris. I can understand that you may not agree with everyone here, but to go calling individual opinions as being "Lame" is quite pathetic.
