"Where there is smoke...Om Jonathan Vaughters:<br /><br />"Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. In JV's case I have seen little of either. There are many reasons fans question riders. I see few of those reasons with Slipstream.<br /><br />I don't hear of any of his riders Motor pacing with Ferrari. His team does not hire the doctors who ran the doping program at Rabo, or Fassa, or Lotto....like other teams do today.<br /><br />Contrast JV's response to Matt White with BMC's response to LeLange, Och, etc. The slightest hint of an issue and JV fly's to the other side of the world to fire him.......meanwhile team after team hires staff who still actively facilitate doping.<br /><br />I know many of JV's current and past riders and staff. They have various opinions of him, some positive some negative. They all to a man agree that whatever issues they may have with him the talk about being anti-doping is real. His private stance on the topic is the same as his public one.<br /><br />The sport has earned it's skeptics. Fans have been lied to and misled for decades. It is unfortunate as the sport continues to change. I know riders and staff on multiple teams, people who are embedded in the sport. They all say the same thing, yes there is still a lot doping in the sport but there are guys who win clear. There are guys on<br /><br />I know guys who have finished in the top 10 of GT's who are not only clean but actively working to make the sport a better place.<br /><br />Until Slipstream has a rider test positive, get caught with a fridge full of blood, have a rider or staff turn on them, I am inclined to believe what JV is saying." <br /><br />http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showpost.php?p=897095&postcount=195 <br /><br />http://twitter.com/#!/TheRaceRadio <br /><br />Signaturen är ett f.d.

Once you leave the team or do soemthing wrong you forever banned<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: i suppose - you know he tried to hire me back in 2001... he was nice to me... i just couldn't deal with that whole world<br /><br />FDREU: I did not know that<br /><br />FDREU: look at why everyone leaves, it's way to controlling<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: once I went to CA and saw that now [not] all the teams got 25 injections every day<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: hell, CA was ZERO<br /><br />FDREU: you mean all the riders<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: Credit Agricole<br /><br />FDREU: it's crazy<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: So, I realized lance was full of shit when he'd say everyone was doing it<br /><br />FDREU: You may read stuff that i say to radio or press, praising the Tour and lance but it's just playing the game<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: believe me, as carzy as it sounds - Moreau was on nothing. Hct of 39%<br /><br />FDREU: when in 2000-2001<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: so, that's when you start thinking... hell, kevin [Livingston, fd lagkamrat till Lance som tävlade med Ullrich 2001-2002] was telling me that after 2000 Ullrich never raced over 42%--- yeah moreau in 2000-2001<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: anyhow - whtever<br /><br />FDREU: After 1999, you know many things changed. lance did not<br /><br />FDREU: I believe that's part of whey kevin left, he was tired of the stuff<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: yeah, i could explain the whole way lance dupes everyone<br /><br />FDREU: what abut GH [George Hincapie] climbing the mountains better than azevedo and the entire group<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: from how floyd described it, i know exactly the methos<br /><br />FDREU: explain that, classics to climber<br /><br />FDREU: when did you talk with floyd<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: i don't know - i want to trust George<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: but the thing is on that team, you think it's normal<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: or at least i did<br /><br />FDREU: i guess. anything with blodd is not normal<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: yeah, it's very complex how the avoid all the controls now, but it's not any new drug or anything, just the resources and planning to pull of a well devised plan<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: it's why they all got dropped on stage 9 - no refill yet - then on the rest day - boom 800ml of packed cells<br /><br />FDREU: they have it mastered. good point<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: they draw the blood right after the dauphine<br /><br />FDREU: how do they sneak it in, or keep it until needed<br /><br />FDREU: i'm sure it's not with the truck in the frig<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: motorcycle - refridgerated panniers<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: on the rest day<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: floyd has a photo of the thing<br /><br />FDREU: crazy! it' just keep going to new levels<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: yeah, it's complicated, but with enough money you can do it<br /><br />FDREU: they have enough money. Floyd was so pissed at them this entire tour<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: anyhow - i just feel sorry for floyd and some of the other guys<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: why would lance keep doing the shit when he clearly has nothing to prove - it's weird<br /><br />FDREU: I know. me to. they all get ripped into for no reason<br /><br />FDREU: he's done now, thank god. but they will prove next year for Johan's sake that they are the greatest<br /><br />Cyclevaughters: and then lance says " this guy and that guys are pussies"<br /><br />FDREU: they won't stop<br /><br />FDREU: I agree <br /><br />http://www.cbc.ca/sports/indepth/landis/instantmessage.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
