Cadel Evans Australian?

Dorfus Dippintush said:

Having one wrong person on the newsgroup is an accident, having two is a
tragedy.

He was born in Katherine in the Northern Territory. You can't get much
more Aussie than that. Red Australian dust is in his blood.

Jeez, yet another blood-doping accusation.

Hmm. He's a great cyclist, obviously, but I reserve that sort of praise for
someone who doesn't whine about his team while they're busting their nuts
for him in the mountains. Let's face it - we wouldn't be going apeshit
about him if he were from anywhere else.

What is this connection to another country?

They're just jealous that once again a Victorian shows up the other states
and territories. NT born, Victorian bred. Good onya Cadel.

Actually he lived in NSW for a while. Attended school for about 5
years in a regional town, left in Yr 7 IIRC (so naturally the local
rag has claimed him as a local lad made good)

It was the hills around Arthurs Creek in Victoria that made him the champion
he is today. He was a local mountain-bike legend before he got onto the
racers. Katherine, NT and regional NSW can put in their claims but they
amount to zero in regards to where he developed his profession.

Yikes! This thread brought out all the Cadel stockers.

Was that where he had the nasty accident which wrecked his testicles? :-)

That's nice. What do you want me to say? Victoria pwned NSW! Hooray
for Victoria! Etc...

If he'd had some West Aussie spirit things may have been different.

I could never be proud of being a Nationalist, or of nationalism,
or of sportsmen who win ungratiously, and lose with tantrums,
but I can be proud of what Cadel has achieved as an Australian,
and he shows some intelligence when he's interviewed.

All too often we see larrikins performing well in some sport or other,
like Shane Warne in cricket.
But only a few sportsmen pass the test of being a gentleman.

Patrick Turner.

PS, not many decent hills in Catherine.

Canberra has some real corkers, and not far away are the Snowies,
and some long steep climbs.

Get over it you fair weather ozzies: He is not an Australian.

But he will be the TDF winner within the next few days.

On 2007-07-30, Patrick Turner (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

Although I hope the ones that make him sound like a whinging prat are
just poorly selected soundbites.

Wrong. They can claim his parents. Queensland can claim him as he was born
there and Canberra can claim him as he developed his profession there.

In that case we want his UK passport back. There are plenty of illegal
immigrants who would be grateful to receive it.
