Doping

Sylvia Schenk (strongly anti-doping) is standing for the post of head of the German Cyclists' Federation again:

Epic article about the suspect pasts of the doctors of almost every Pro Tour team.

Leinders is an amateur compared to some of the guys operating without an official Paul Kimmage
fatwa over their heads. Business never personal Paul.

Also there is an actual Association of Italian Cycling Doctors

I bet their annual Christmas party is a blast!

I spoke to an ex-racer here down under. He went to Belgium and got court and then got dragged through the coals here. This was about 8 years ago.

Apparently as a amateur you were expected to ride clean until you got a couple of wins under your belt. Then with that you got moved up to join the big boys (given something extra). The two speeds of the peloton and people being shithouse one week smashing it at the next race was also a frustration.

The thing that struck me was that the riders take so much shit legally. There are drugs that are band during the season that can be taken in the off season and vice-versa. He said that by the time you are offered (to help one reach the potential they are showing) the band drugs there is such a grey area that you don’t really think about it as cheating, just preparing.

The conversation made me sad as there were a few names dropped in as definite dopers that I respect as cyclists massively. Having said that, I don’t respect them any less now I know.

Also, apparently EPO is fucking amazing.

Yore ortokorekt semes to be borked

Spell checker dosent eve seem to work on the forum. As its not offical emails I dont really care.

Well if you intended a glorious revelation, it's less likely to receive a fanatical reception if there's a dissonance interrupting the flow of every fragment.

Is this the doping thread? Or the spelling thread? Or the use of as many big words as possible to make you look smarter than you actualy are thread?

Or the sesquipedalianism thread?

It's difficult to take anyone seriously if they can't spell

Why? Since when has spelling been a sign of intelligence?

Spelling is one of the subsections of the Wechsler IQ test, but only one.

So it's been an indicator of a particular type of cognitive ability for as long as that test has been the go-to clinical tool at least.

I'm not calling you thick, but I'm sure you knew that already.

Fucksake!

^Slang and profanities are exempt from grammar and correct spelling by the way.

Having done many of those tests I know exactly what you are on about. As you can imagine the spelling part wasnt my highest scoring. Luckely I manage to score well in other parts. As for work, spell checkers mean I can manage fine.

Unfortunatly, the forum spelling police seem to be cracking down now days.

Modern browsers will spell check any multi-line input box.

Jeezus, give the guy a brake!

Fuck's sake!

IQ tester fail. They need a subsection on sarcasm perception, or appropriacy of response to perceived sarcasm. I'll get on to the Wechsler people tomorrow...

Maybe on your PC.

Name a modern browser which doesn't.
