No.

Maybe you should try training more and whining less.

No, it won't work because he never raced. His identity is not known or cared
about. He presence here is to post the most obvious trolls more frequently
than anyone else in Usenet history.

Suz! You're stealing my thunder! ;-) OK, so it is a troll, but I think
women are lucky because I believe 95% of the domestic fields are clean.
Maybe even higher. Sure, there are some suspicious performances, but
like I've said before, I know that at least one north american rider
managed a podium in a euro race last year clean.

As for the men, can't say about the domestic scene, but i have heard
from a first hand source that the euros are filthy to the core from
amateur on up. That's just the culture. If you take enough drugs as an
amateur and don't have a heart attack or some other negative side effect
of drugs like DEATH, you can become a pro.

I just had a purple Pebbles. Washed it down with some good coffee, my other
drug of choice.

I read somewhere that in Italy, even some of the recreational riders-
century riders and the like- are experimenting with doping. What dumbasses.

Belief + Faith = Possibility, but can not guarantee probability.

you have that right. beginning in cat 2 of the euro scene it is about 50-50
who is doping on something and whose not. what amazed me is that the "some
not" actually won races. I never had anything offered to me until I raced a
cat 3 race in northern France. even at that level it was beginning. they
acted like it was no big deal. "ah, don't worry about it".
what I hear from "my sources", and they actually were on Belgian and French
pro teams as either a pro or a management position, is not good at all. this
is why I am now in the suspicion of current tour winners.....sad but
true.....

Great, why don't you go ahead and include posting to ng's on your list
of things retired from? You certainly won't be missed - even as
someone to laugh at.
