    The dope labs are using rbr for data mining ? I think its about time we

    existence of LIVEDRUNK (and delivery of the fabled LIVEDRUNK jerseys).

    I wonder if Pound skulks around rbr to hear the nice things being said
    about him.

    They are not that bad! But of course I meant that if even I had heard about
    it, people who are making a living to be expert on this terrain must have
    been acquainted with it for a long time.

    Damn, I need that picture of the bottle! Otherwise,
    how aam I going to know if I'm getting the genuine
    [censored] That Will Kill Them?

    Dumbass,
    Saline solution packaged in a Hemassist vial works
    just as well.

    Dumbass,

    It's not the contents of the bottle so much, I need
    the bottle itself, to toss away and drive my fellow
    Masters Fatties crazy, just like Coppi did to Bartali:

    One day in the 1946 Giro, Bartali saw Coppi drink a
    small bottle of some liquid and throw it in the grass
    by the roadside. "What the hell is it he drinks?"
    Bartali asked himself.
    "The first thing I did was note precisely where he
    threw his bottle. After the Giro, which I won by 47
    seconds over Fausto, I drove to the spot where the
    bottle was, and after a little searching, found it.
    The next day, first thing, I went to my personal
    doctor and asked him to identify it.
    The result was a big letdown. No drug. No magic.
    Just a French mineral water that could be bought
    anywhere. I immediately bought a case.
    [Bartali goes on to describe how he would sneak into
    Coppi's room just before the start of a stage and look
    around - "operation wastebasket" - for mystery products.]
    ... Poor Fausto. He never understood how he aroused
    all my Toscanerie, all my bitterness and aggressiveness."

    [Quoted in Owen Mulholland's _Uphill Battle_]

    So you see, it's not just the doping, but the mind games
    about the doping, that are part of the hallowed tradition
    of cycling.

    It's true. I've abandoned my responsibility to this dear cause.

    The truth? My enthusiasm waned once my racing club arranged to do a wool
    jersey order, and then I pretty much got lazy.

    With the combination of demotivation, lack of time, and just the fact
    that I'm pretty lazy and have more projects than a lazy man ought to,
    I'm leaving the jersey project.

    My main reason for saying so publicly is in the futile hope that someone
    else is interested enough to take up the organization of the project.

    If so, here's the company I was corresponding with:

    http://www.portlandcyclewear.com/woolcyclingjersey.html

    If you want an alternative to that, Louis Garneau now has a similar-spec
    wool jersey available, and I can put you in touch with a rep. Their
    minimum order isn't very high.

    The logo should simply consist of an all-caps "LIVEDRUNK" rendered in a
    sans-serif font, ideally Compugraphic's CG Gothic No. 2 for the LIVE and
    CG Gothic No. 3 for the DRUNK.

    So that's that, and I apologize to anyone who was still waiting for me
    to stop sucking. I should have either taken care of this project or
    given up sooner.

    Maybe they saw how fair the UCI was to Unibet.

    The ASO and other GT organizers were the ones keeping Unibet from racing - UCI

    Did the UCI return the money that THEY charged Unibet for the Pro Tour
    license?

    DynEpo isn't that new. Four or five years ago I heard already that some
    riders were using DynEpo, although it was extremely expensive and only
    available on the black market. I must have mentioned it in rbr. So it may be
    assumed that boys and girls in the dope lab heard about it before. Or am I
    overrating their competence?

    The boys and girls in the dope lab know which competentcies count:
    "Let's look at those Landis samples again"-- at what point, it has
    occurred to me, did the supposedly "blind" testing protocols enable
    just Floyd's samples to be tested again?. I know I must have this all
    wrong... Well, the important thing is, they sure cleared up that messy
    contaminated B sample problem. I think that's called "throw-down" in
    some circles; very effective for making sure known criminals don't
    escape on technicalities!

    Perhaps this wonder of the black market-- supplying a product not yet
    available commercially-- was a self-administered custodial (or rather,
    -ian!) retirement package?

    Actually, I think the field trial explanation is the most plausible. I
    mean, if it works for Tour riders, it would have to be gangbusters in
    the clinical setting, right? I mean, patients jumping out of bed to
    ride their bikes home, and so forth? All intended to be very hush-
    hush, of course! --D-y

    Like that was going to happen. McQuaid: "Ehh, things happen. It can't be helped."
    Anyway, I'm not saying Unibet was done right by the UCI, just that they weren't the
    main instigators of the [censored].

    I'm shocked, shocked to hear! A bookie took a risk,
    gave people money, and got nothing back.

    Unibet (the name) still got some newspaper coverage.
    Minor sponsors and the riders did get screwed.

    I could do something about it. Champ-Sys is making the jerseys for
    the Tour of Hainan and has made a bunch of jerseys for the local bike
    club and I'll very likely be seeing the Champ-Sys guy at this year's
    Tour.

    The RAGBRAI pictures of Lance had him wearing a LiveSTRONG jersey so I
    think a LiveDRUNK jersey should be patterned on that ... only more of
    a [censored] colored yellow. Also think that the lettering should in
    addition to using the correct font be blurred just a little bit.

    And what about adding some subliminal sublimated yellow on yellow beer
    bottles and cigarettes to the pattern?

    A caution: as always discussed previously, this was definitely going
    to be a wool jersey (that may or may not be a problem for Champ-Sys;
    Garneau doesn't even list a wool jersey in their catalog yet, but
    they're doing them already), and doing a synthetic jersey may limit
    the appeal (wool being so much more cyclocross-and-alcohol in its
    aesthetic).
