From: Someplace trying to figure it out

Bikes: Cannondale EVO, CAAD9, Giant cross bike.

So let's see...I read now that Tyler gave his 2004 Gold Medal back. It's now gone to Eki. Eki was on Postal. According to the "experts", everyone on Postal doped. So, we can conclude the Eki doped too. So the next doper up now has the 2004 Gold Medal.

Folks, I watched people pull syringes out of the back pocket of their jerseys and stick a needle full of emphetamines (and other things) into their legs. Because all they had was a bike racing career and they would do anything, anything on the small chance they'd make it. These same guys would carry cash on them and pay guys to let them win. You guys have no idea what really goes on out there...The son of a former racing compatriot and teammate killed himself with EPO. His blood consistency was about the level of cold molasses.

Personally, none of this matters to me. I started racing bikes at age 9, have followed the sport all this time, and frankly have reached the point that I no longer care that much. In the scheme of things, this really is not that important. The amount of money and time that's being wasted on this is mind numbing.

Time to move on.
