professional cycling

i have had enough.

gangsters, the lot of ‘em.

vino = dopo

so, vino has been caught doping at this year’s tour.

what a surprise – didn’t see that one coming.

how can you be stupid enough to dope in cycling any more -vino now loses 1 year’s salary and is probably out of cycling for good – can’t say he’ll be missed.

bye bye vino, get a better doctor

Alexandre Vinokourov’s tour chance looks finally to be over.  in spite of complaining about his injuries i can’t help but think he has had to stop “using” dr ferrari as much as he would like.

great success?  maybe?

well the dodgiest team in pro-cycling has signed up to the UCI’s anti-doping statement. can someone please do something to stop this team starting the tour de france, we don’t want another doper winning.

british eurosport

in order to make eurosport more “suitable” for a british audience “british eurosport” was launched. if you are a cycling fan this was bad news. it means that cycling – seen as a minority supported sport in the UK (which it is not) – is the first to get the boot in favour of any other sport that is on – be that snooker (the images are exactly the same being shown on the BBC, at the same time), tennis, handball, volleyball, etc.

the people running it are obvious arseholes and not aware how much they are losing as british cycling fans rush out to buy the old cheap analogue receivers to get “normal” eurosport.

another example of britain hating cycling. i wish london hadn’t got the tour grand depart it doesn’t deserve it.

you can however, watch the giro here:
