    Pound calls out cycling officials
    WebPosted Sun, 02 Jul 2006 13:17:22 EDT
    CBC Sports
    The chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency had some harsh words for
    the cycling world Sunday, urging authorities of the sport to take
    tougher action against doping.

    WADA chairman [censored] Pound says the image of cycling and the Tour de
    France is "in the toilet." (Canadian Press) [censored] Pound said the image
    of cycling and the Tour de France is "in the toilet."

    "You've got to do something about it or the risk is that your sport
    will be ignored by everybody, marginalized by others, and it won't be a
    sport any more," he added.

    How about this [censored] actually challenges FIFA. They are asking for a
    report in a week or two, after the finals.
    Maybe we can have summary executions based on Pound's objective
    judgement. Once again we have the Judge yelling, "They're all guilty!
    They wouldn't be charged if they weren't! If they're in my court
    they're going down! Innocents don't come here!"

    Damn good thing this psycho, Jr. Grade Emporer can't give the death
    penalty.
    Let's see, J. Edgar Hoover, Torquemada, and Pound.
    Great Icons in the history of justice!

  2. The Amazing thing is that this is ths SAME man who couldn't find one
    single person who did anything wrong during the Salt Lake scandal, but
    he KNOWS every cyclist, Team, and Official is dirty as hell!
    I'm sure that at least one person here will have no problem
    rationalizing that.

    Also in the same article:
    Last November, Pound made headlines when he slammed the National Hockey
    League's drug policy. At the time, he stated as many as a third of the NHL's
    700 players may be taking some kind of performance-enhancing drug. Also, the
    IOC has called for an independent inquiry to help resolve the feud between
    cycling star Lance Armstrong and Pound. In mid-June, Armstrong's eight-page
    letter to IOC president Jacques Rogge sharply criticized Pound for trying to
    keep alive the doping allegations against the seven-time Tour de France
    champion.

    Three questions come to mind:

    1. Will Armstrong take the IOC up on it's offer to set up an independent
    investigation?

    2. Will Armstrong visit the Tour this year?

    3. If he does visit, will he answer any questions from Paul Kimmage or David
    Walsh?

    No. And neither would you.

    Not without Robin Williams.

    Why? Is he planning to ride the Olympics again? I thought he'd retired.

    Quoted message said:


    2. Will Armstrong visit the Tour this year?

    Don't know. Presently the public answer is no, and the private answer is
    that he's getting kinda tired of the controversy it would inevitably stir
    up. But my guess is that, if Discovery is doing well, he'll make an
    appearance.

    Quoted message said:


    3. If he does visit, will he answer any questions from Paul Kimmage or
    David Walsh?

    No; there's nothing either would ask that hasn't already been asked (and
    answered). Just because people don't like the answers doesn't mean that
    you're required to keep facing the same question over and over and over.

    Regarding [censored] Pound and Hockey, so he says a third of the players are on
    drugs. Wouldn't that justify a full-court press on the issue? Just how few
    sports might there be that *don't* have a drug problem? Cycling's but a tiny
    spec in the grand scheme of things, yet [censored] Pound just can't get enough of
    it. What does it mean that cheating (forget drugs, let's just call it for
    what it is, which is cheating) is so prevalent in sports? Heck, what does it
    mean that cheating is so prevalent in schools and business?

    Forget [censored] Pound. We need Jimmy Carter!

  6. You and [censored] Pound.

    Peas in a pod.

    I watch the postings, and agree with some of the things you say, then over
    time, its all you say.
    Then I watch to see hwo abuses you, and if that's clever, then after another
    while, even that becomes boring.

    Funny how Kimmage never asked these important questions when he pulled
    out his amphetamine-filled syringes during criterium season...or even
    soon after he retired. He waited until he found a book publisher...and
    even his book was notoriously vague with naming specific riders.

    So does that make what he's saying less true?

    No. It renders it well short of truth.
