"he was never found to have taken drugs but he admitted to pedalling "
:lol:
Paul Kimmage on RTE Radio 1 now.
In fairness Dunph, any sport that allows grown men to prance around in multi coloured lycra canât be all bad.
Is it a case of the testing catching up with him?
What about indurain? He had a resting pulse of 28 or something crazyâŚ
Whats kimmage saying?
Indurain was juiced up.
BUTâŚ
Hesjedal who won Giro this year is clean for sure.
Wiggins who has won tour and loads else this year is clean.
Larryduff the winner of Fingal Challenge and who performed heroics in two Ulster marathons this year is clean.
Locke who did great job in tour de munster is clean
Balbec is clean Iâm sure

In one word? Vindication.
Not really. His previous positive tests were covered up so knowledge was there at the time. That and the evidence given by teammates and friends was more than enough.
Only caught end of it but usual stuff about how Armstrong uses cancer as argument to deflect from allegations and how UCI were complicit in the whole thing.
Larry, what is happening in the Johan Bruyneel case? Surely all the dirty laundry will be aired there? The sooner that cunt is chased from cycling the better.
Great to see LA finally brought down. But in the peloton there is a rider named Christopher froome whose meteoric rise from average domistique to grand tour favourite makes me believe he is the most blatant doper since Bernhard Kohl. Still a lot of work to be done cleaning up the sport, but today is a great step in the right direction.
Spot on , Bruyneel is the real cancer in the sport, not Armstrong. Bruyneelâs case is in arbitration, does that mean he is cutting a deal? I do not believe for one minute that Froome is clean.

While thatâs very low, itâs not that amazing for someone at that level Ida very aerobic sport.
Yeah, I realise that Kev, was more a throwaway remark more than anything else.
they used to say his heart was as big as a cows. And his twin brother had the same physical attributes but he was a very ordinary rider.
Des Cahill: âPeople donât know what to believe now. But the amount of support he (Armstrong) is getting on Twitter is extraordinary. Personally I would always have had a lot of sympathy for him as I read his book.â
Myles Dungan: âBut if it talks like a duck, walks like a duck, then surely it is a duckâ.
Des: âI donât know, what is a duck, I mean I wouldnât know the difference between ducks and geese.â
On Cahillâs bulletin trhere also that Bruyneel says that âthe fact that Armstrong has decided not to fight the charges proves how unjust they are.â Nice logic.

But Larry says Froome rides for a clean team :lol:
Saw this on twitter:
[font=Arial]Letâs not let Lance Armstrongâs[/font][font=Arial] disgrace in the field of cycling detract from his achievements in the field of plastic bracelet retail.[/font]
At the end of the day, a lot of Americans are going to refuse to see this as anything more than their saint being persecuted by the jealous europeans. Logic goes out the window.
Itâs amazing that Armstrong himself is still so vehement about his innocence, it just shows the dexterity of the human mind.
