Fudbeer Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 wow this aint good how much lower can cyclings reputation go. It really does make me question whether drug use at the top is almost accepted as the norm and the challenge is not to get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyR Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 this is really sad. IF indeed they have been doping, its pathetic. Makes a mockery of the whole sport really. Why do it? Just ruins the whole event. (Not that i can watch in anyway - no bloody coverage on terrestrial, grumble grumble) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcrash Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 no bloody coverage on terrestrial Really don't understand that. Channel 4 and ITV have both covered it reasonably well over the last few years and Gary Imlach is one of the best sports presenters around. Wasn't Ulrich banned for drugs a few years ago?

TimmyR Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 just bought a freeview box. I think it may be on ITV4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidster Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Is Armstrong doing the tour or what this year? He said he had retired, then won a few weeks ago and the paper said he was riding the tour again. Very confusing I've not taken that much notice this season but doesn't this leave Alexander Vinokourov as one of the favourites now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidster Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 So who do we all think is going to win the tour now? I think all this will give Vinokourov a kick up the backside personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
