i cant if ironic
I don’t know if anyone is still actually trying to watch this, but this one worked for me:

Nothing new, but hearing the tapes, seeing the video, the deposition footage, etc. all in one place drives it all home pretty hard.
Thanks DFL, I’ll check it out after work =)
Also drives home how epic those doped up tours were. Motherfuckers were on a good program.
Maybe we just need an open-category, anything-goes league. Could be sponsored by biotech companies and would develop techniques to create superhumans.
I’m sure the effort would produce a bunch of good effects in our society. Think NASA and the moon, not Rome. Don’t think of Rome.
@ryan: I wish I could share the faith you have in people. I think if genetic modification were to be a happening thing, someone out there’s going to abuse the procedure for personal gain…

Only problem is that dudes were dying.
Kinda like how the NFL is no longer ethically tenable given that there’s nearly 100% certainty that a player will come out of the other end of his career with brain damage.
LPC, I’m being sarcastic. To make it more clear, don’t think of the Colosseum and the fall of the Roman Empire. Or Running Man.

Yeah, there’s that, I suppose.
I exhausted all the fucks I had to give about this situation quite a while ago.
I have few fucks to give. Certainly, I’m not going to be traumatized by the news of any athlete doing PEDs, but I’m also not of the mind that it should be a free for all because young and dumb people without a well developed sense of good judgement will kill themselves in the name of money and glory.
I think Ricco was really the last of that breed.

In other news, people are freaking out because Drew Brees gets drug tested after saying he can play till 45.
As long as his brain isn’t jelly yet, why not? Why not 50?
If I were to dope in today’s peloton, here’s what I’d do:
-Microdose EPO out of competition. Take just enough before bed so that it would not show if I’m tested first thing in the morning. Make sure it all goes in the vein, asshole!
-Blood bags. Be careful with their use. Don’t overdo it. Make sure microdosing keeps retic values from tanking when reinjecting mature RBCs.
-Altitude training camps:

-Make sure the markers used in the ABP software remain just far enough down on the list of suspicion that others will be questioned and popped before me.
-Have all the appropriate TUEs in place for the lesser stuff. Think corticosteriods, asthma medication, etc.
-If I fuck up, know I’m ‘glowing’, and am at risk for a control, resort to a masking agent. Far better to be caught for something questionable that can be hemmed and hawed about by lawyers and repealed to death than any of the better know substances.
-Have the best lawyers and make sure the UCI knows it. Hell, just make sure that popping me will be as inconvenient as possible for their PR.
The pros, and/or their doctors, know this system a billion times better than I do and have way more techniques and substances at their disposal. This is just scratching the surface. I’m sure it’s a hell of a lot harder to get away with doping in cycling than any other sport, but that never stopped everybody.
The only way to follow pro cycling without pulling your hair out is the close your eyes to all this and enjoy the show.
I don’t think it is the only way. It just demands a re-evaluation of why one watches. Cycling is awesome. The sport is fucked. Don’t let the later interfere with the former.

The more I hear from that guy, the more I like him.
Ain’t media great?
This is basically what I mean.
