Dude... make no mistake.  Sally is P I S S E D.     Pissed.  Pissed.  pissed. 

Hell hath no fury like a.... well were not going there to keep it pg13.  But still. 

The last time I saw her I knew what was coming (pre reasoned decision), and she ws still in total denial.  I think her quote was "myles, if George came up to me and said Lance was doping, I think I might believe it, but that is what it would take at this point... there's no way. "  

........ Crickets.

she got snowed like nearly everyone else, and her career potentially suffered for it.  Although she still has that snazzy house in North Haven, and the team telekom issue Giant I sold her.....

meeeeeeemories...wispy water something memmmmories...
Oh.  I'll just leave this here

^that is pure gold, but yes, should never be set loose from the confines of the forum.


Interesting that this isn't really a PED crackdown in the traditional sense, but IMO a more serious issue of highly addictive prescription narcotics. Also seems like former/retired league players were the ones that seemed to initiate the investigation?
Identities were obscured to protect the douchey
between the prescription pain killers, steroids and HGH...it shouldn't be hard to find something.
How this story did not launch an investigation is beyond me....the kid was likely selling steroids to daddy's football players to finance his heroin addiction...

They were.  But it's not like it's the first time.  Walt Sweeney did in the 1990s.  Won the case.  Lost on appeal.

Holy Schnikey - this was some crash.....

http://gothamist.com/2014/11/19/bonos_high_energy_bike_accident_cau.php

On November 16th, Bono was involved in a high energy bicycle accident when he attempted to avoid another rider. Presented as a Trauma Alert to New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell’s Emergency Department, his Trauma Work-up at that time included multiple X-rays and CAT scans showed injuries that include:

1. Left facial fracture involving the orbit of his eye.
2. Left scapula (shoulder blade) fracture in three separate pieces.
3. Left compound distal humerus fracture where the bone of his humerus was driven though his skin and the bone was in six different pieces. He was taken emergently to the operating room for a five-hour surgery Sunday evening where the elbow was washed out and debrided, a nerve trapped in the break was moved and the bone was repaired with three metal plates and 18 screws.
4. One day later, he had surgery to his left hand to repair a fracture of his 5th metacarpal.

He will require intensive and progressive therapy, however a full recovery is expected.

Ouch!
SWEET BABY JPOW that sounds bad.
That sucks. The term "high energy" seems weird to my layperson's ears in this context.  (I realize that physicists, engineers, EMTs, and MDs may have other notions.) "High energy" just feels optimistic or like a description of some uptempo dance music or spin class, not a f+cked up crash like this.

By the way..this happened on Sunday, right?  Has no one broken out with a refrain of "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" etc. yet...or did I just miss it?"

^ this is really amazing. Every time they ask a detailed question: budget, or the rules of membership the answer is, "It's not that it's a secret, it's just that we won't tell you."

Amazing.

Wait, Vee-Lee-Air?  Really?

Damn, been pronouncing that one with an American accent.

Is nice... http://cyclingtips.com.au/2014/09/campagnolo-super-record-rs-groupset-review-2/

They are really, really wrong about Voigt. It's a family name on my mother's maternal side. The American way of pronouncing it is as most people do, and is acceptable. The German way of pronouncing it, however, is NOT "Vote."

First, "V" in German are pronounced like "F" For example, the German car company, VW? Say, "Fow-Vay"

Second, you close down the back of your tongue to the roof of your mouth to create a kind of "hushing" sound  where the "g" sits. I can't think of a way to phonetically spell it out at the moment.
van-Schalkwyk is pronounced 'Sky-Walk-Er'

@twoyacks- I think the Edge is having a little fun with us.  Also I've never seen that Celtic spelling of "oy" before.  I like it.
LOL

Me's thinks the Armstrong prosecution is starting to heat up and Steve Johnson is likely going to be involved.  The guy had to go...of this there is no question.  I am curious to see at what level he was willfully complicit in the decade long fraud.

You mean beyond denying the emails that Floyd Landis provided implicating all of US Postal?
