    pro cycling has made itself into a ridiculous circus of accusations,
    denials, admissions and circumstances. I would vote to disolve the
    sport, because I don't like being associated with those clowns when I
    ride.

    I'm sure everyone mistakes you for Richard Virenque when you go
    riding...so just don't go riding in Europe and you're safe.

    Yes, I agree. I only wear solid color jerseys. I'm ashamed of them
    too. If someone says, "do you race?", I answer, "no, no, I'm only a
    commuter." It's a damn shame, that we must hide, talk about cycling in
    whispers or hand signals, it's really sad.

    Yeah, my nephew threw his baseball bat into the shredder when he heard about
    Mark McGwire.

    Dumbass,
    You should be proud. In modern western society drug usage is something to
    be proud of and should be flaunted. After all how many times do you hear
    people boasting about how [censored] they were after a night on the town or
    how their viagra pill kept them up all night.

    Wrong. The sport has not "gone away" as in being suspended for a period of
    time and then begun again.

  10. You ain't kidding. Let's hope this doesn't interfere with the racing.

    Do you do that because you have a guilty conscience? I have no problem letting
    people know I race, or more accurately attempt to race.

    I have a collection of drug busted team jerseys. Looks like I'm going to
    need Disco and USPS jerseys as well.

    "This is the beginning of what you wanted" (sponsors, bye bye?).

    No, I don't think the sport is going away. Or going to ever get
    "clean", either.

    Tell us about the sequestering (jail) again. How many weeks/months
    before events, or the start of the season? --D-y

    Show me where I ever wrote that this was what I "wanted." Hint--you can't
    because I didn't.

    Jail is when one is held against ones will. Sequestering under these
    circumstances would be voluntary, if you want to make a living at the sport.
    You tell me how long it would be necessary given the types of doping going
    on.

    That's not voluntary.

    It might not be exactly extortion, but it would be forcing them to
    give up the possibility of monetary gain under the cover of official
    power.

    Extortion (Black's Law Dictionary - 6th Edition) is defined as:
    "The obtaining of property from another induced by wrongful use of
    actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of
    official right."

    I'm not a lawyer, but it still smells to me.

    It most certainly is. No one is forcing any of them to be professional
    cyclists. It's a choice.

    Why do you ask?
