Decanio? Really? You’re holding him up as an example of who knows what about doping? Come on now, please, seriously. Let that guy rest, and disappear. He’s crazy as a shit house rat.

Don’t know if you ever read his shit, but if you follow doping shit, then you can never completely ignore Matt Decanio’s website. Is he a fucking loon? Yep. Does he know dope about shit, or shit about dope? Yep.

I think he got popped in the Spring.

“Bergman, 23, tested positive on April 6, 2004 during an out of competition test.”

Good Stuff from Bobke! Although it would be more of a science experiment than a solution. Not too many Euro pros would survive the culture shock of a week in Wisconsin. They’d be exposed to the darkside…body fat percentages would rise, blood alcohol levels would become elevated, accents would change and eventually they’d just have to stay to feed the monster. Conversely, the pros sent to the tour, after much suffering, might actually re-enter society in better shape mentally and physically after the experience. Looking at Bobke’s Superweek link, It’s been 15-plus years since I’ve raced Superweek, but what a great new sponsor…Point Beer (formerly known as “Blue Bullets” in cans!)

I see Bobkestrut still links up Joe Papp.

Nothing wrong with linking the dude who boasted on the witness stand how much dope he used in a minor cycling career, and testifying against Floyd, except he never met Floyd and had no knowledge whatsoever of what Floyd did or didn’t do.

Is there?

I think it would be suprising how many of the guys from Superweek would come up positive…lots of low level belgium guys, and this year the mexican dudes were there…

Of course, nobody at Superweek is doing 100k crits every night of the week, for two and a half weeks, on drugs of any kind. Fill in the blank time: In all my years of doing Superweek, I can name __ instances of a drug test going down, at Superweek.

Am I actually reading that someone thinks that starving US-based Pro/1′s have the power to redeem the sport because they’re doing it just “for the love of it”? No wait, is it that we need to take this opportunity to punish euro pros because they’re living out our dreams? I’m clean, I deserve that? Nope.

Nope.

Enough with sanctimony. The tabloid aspect of the tour this year was unwelcome to say the least and got really old, what with your co-workers and relatives that know nothing of bike racing asking you about it, and it subtracted from what was a actually a great race but nobody died people.

…fun idea, but still begs the question, “how many domestic riders would test positive ?”
