It's a shame and it's silly but the guy is brain dead. Not just
brain dead in one individual incident but consistently brain dead
over an extended period of time. And he is leaving stuff out of
the interview and misrepresenting other stuff in order to make
him look less brain dead. But he's extremely brain dead.
So I guess I don't have a lot of sympathy.

I disagree. This guy deserves better. He deserves better from a
general public that blindly listens to a nazi-like organization who
just treats everyone like a number and can't take the blinders off and
look at the big picture.
The more stories I see like this it makes me wonder why anyone would
take up competitive sport anymore. People shouldn't be treated like
this. The staple of our judicial system, innocent until proven guilty,
has completely reversed itself now; one is now guilty of everything
unless you can prove otherwise.
Just sad.

He's a dumbass bike racer. Only recently retired, or semi-retired.
There's no such excuse for the USADA.

Well... I then say guvmint ownership of roads is [censored] and some
knucklehead on rbr thinks that is "ironic" because I was driving on the
guvmint's roads, drunk or not.

I will kick your ass Saturday in El Cajon, just for mom's reputation.
Mortensen doesn't care about the stupid paperwork of the bureaucrats,
or his over-and-done-with cycling career. Nothing wrong with that. He
didn't anticipate the near term publicity consequences, which he did
care about. In the long run it is probably good for him -- the farther
he is driven from elite cycling, the better off he will be.

The rider missed every chance to inform the USADA. He ignored them. He
deserves what he gets because there is no alternative. The anti xoping
agencies cannot accept excuses, it would be a slippery slope. Damm brutal
cold world that is out there for the unprotected.

I want to buy some stupid serum so I can become supreme leader of rbr.

How's this for irony? The Man tells him that all he has to do is
submit a form and The Man will go away and not bother him. That
simple. He can't be bothered to do that. And *you* are the guy
that defends him. Irony rocks!
Say, do you stop at stoplights on the guvmint's roads? Like the
rest of the sheep? Don't let me down Greg. We want to believe in
you.

Dumbass,
Many states now have laws that make it clear that drunk
driving on private property is also a DUI offense. Just
something to keep in mind next time you are doing
donuts on your neighbor's lawn (or mall parking lot)
while sticking your head out the window and yelling
"You can't touch me, jackbooted government thugs!"

A few years ago, there was a guy living up near Santa Rosa, Calif. who was so
adamantly anti-government that he made his own license plates to go on his car. The
car was an ancient junker anyway, so the fees would have been negligible, so the
cops just ignored him (well, at least on the issue of the plates).
