Doping

I think second in the Dauphine in 1996 demonstrates how good he was.

Also 3rd in Paris-Nice 1996, 2nd in Tour De Romandie 1997.

wonder why O'Grady retired?

Aged 9600 he found 1700 Tours was enough?

He would certainly have won some stage races.

Nah, he just would've crashed at a higher speed.

As I understand it all of Boardman's samples are listed in the report as too degraded to be retested.

He must've been using really good shit then, obvs.

@paulkimmage and @richardmoore73 having a little journo popcorn spat on twitter at the moment.

@PaulKimmage: @richardmoore73 Run along now, sonny, and shove your tongue back up Sir Dave's backside.

What are they actually arguing about?

Rimming, by the sounds of it.

I've always said, in polite company there are three things you never discuss...

What are they actually arguing about?

I think they are fighting over the moral high ground. Hard to tell really.

I'm here - you're not in polite company.

Now, back to the syphilis chatter..

Anyone who works for The Times or Sunday Times and isn't Paul Kimmage has to be in the Sky doping conspiracy and fuck you all and raaagrglbarglalgl!!!!

Kimmage regularly comes across as a massive bellend in all things he says and does, whatever his role in fighting for the forces of the light against the dark legions of Lance

Big doping controversy at this years 24hr nationals. The winner has been disqualified for Clenbuterol. Apparently the midgets he was feasting on, had in turn, been feasting on tainted steaks.

I feel so let down.

Ha! Do I 'look' like I've been taking clenbuterol?

cries off over in weight loss thread

no need to cry, better have an ice cold Duvel

A case study in how to destroy your own reputation, built upon some of the finest sports writing of the last decade, in 800-odd tweets.

A rather generous reposte from Moore

Just wish he could be nicer. Not a lot to ask. In fact I might tweet him that, see what happens

If you want him to be nicer you are missing the point of him.

I am particularly pleased that Jens appears to have been clean too. That would have been heartbreaking.

Jens Voight?

I am particularly pleased that Jens appears to have been clean too. That would have been heartbreaking.

How do you work that one out?

Sorry my mistake. Please ignore me.

wonder why O'Grady retired?

He's just confessed to doping during the '98 TDF but did absolutely nothing since that one single time there's evidence that he did.
