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.
