Many thanks, DJ, for your favourable review - I'll keep you in mind if I ever need a character reference.
I didn't think of myself as a TT specialist, although it did cross my mind that perhaps I was too polite to be a good road man - too prone to saying 'no, after you...', rather than using my elbows.
I think there may be a slight misunderstanding though - just as I would never spend £10K on a bike for myself neither would I spend it on drugs. My point really was that if some one wants to make an impression on the cycling world it would be much better to have some good results, rather than just owning a posh bike. An excellent bike can be an embarassment if you still get dropped when riding it, whereas a good 'medical programme' and any half reasonable bike should yield success.
Even if I were tempted to dope I'm far too old - it would be like releasing a balloon which flutters around a room until the very last bit of air gives it a final spurt before it expires on the floor.

I just always think of you as a TT specialist and have a romantic notion of testers being a niche area populated by honourable people. Then for someone as honest and good natured as yourself to suddenly turn up ripped on PEDs is even more amusing in my warped mind.
