Recently, Farnese Vini Selle Italia riders Danilo Di Luca and Mauro Santambrogio were caught using EPO, again.. And every time something like this happens, we fans of pro cycling lose a little more faith in our beloved sport. Drunkcyclist wants to remind everyone to please stay calm and stay positive. We’ll get through this.
This entire ordeal wouldn’t be complete without a word from the man himself, right? Supposedly knowing he has zero credibility to comment on this sort of matter, Sir Lancelot decides to chime in and cast his judgement anyway via twatter:
Di Luca responded with a simple “no” along with an oddly continuous shake of the head.
Anyways, Cycling Tips has more details and reactions from the peloton. They always seem to do a good job with the spandex coverage.
I’m going to go ahead an focus my attention on the beginner women 20 to 29 races going forward.
I love watching cyclist on drugs. Sometimes they have no idea that they are just riding along and their intestines are coming out of their ass and they are foaming from the mouth. That shit is awesome
Oh, now that is funny.
Its hard to stay positive when the one thing I love about road cycling is being stripped away. The doping. I dont watch it because I want to see a bunch of average dudes riding bikes. I do that all the time on my way to work. I watch it cause I wanna see dudes foaming from the mouth after ripping their guts out on a TT or Climb. Its the same reason I dont think steroids should be taken outta Wrasslin. I want my sports to entertain me. Her if wanna watch clean sports here’s a list for you that are more then likely clean.
1. Curling
2. Speed Knitting
3. I was gonna say dog Frisbee catching but now that i do some research those Frisbee tossers are high as shit.
List ain’t long. Its high dollar entertainment and we are gonna squeeze every buck outta those athletes, sorry if that puts a sour taste in your cupcake.
You’ll notice that the guy behind DiLuca is saying “yes”…
Luca Scinto team boss In regards to suspicion / rumors in the sport body concerning Santambrogio positive:
“I didn’t want to believe them and on more than one occasion I had a face-to-face with him.
“He told me: ‘It’s only jealousy Luca, calm down. But you can’t keep asking me these questions because they’re offensive’. “What can I say? We’re distraught, myself and Angelo (Citracca, the team manager) because we know perfectly well it’s a mortal blow.”
That is some seriously sad Greek tragedy shit. Imagine if your lively hood was this team.
And Lance, I wonder how many close calls, & flat out positive tests you dropped in your career & you STILL rolled w/ PEDs, destroyed lives/careers & ultimately defined your entire legacy as the largest scale fraud in sports. Really? Poke DiLuca ?
Bring on the pro drug leagues!!! It’s ok to load up on Rx’s so you can get back to work and work harder. It’s ok to improve your memory and focus better. It’s ok to improve your chitty mood. It’s ok to have a cock so hard a cat can’t scratch it. Don’t eat better, just take some statins to improve your vascular lube. And yet we won’t let athletes smoke ’em if they got ’em?
