Deep down do we really want NOP to end...

Training Advice/Discussion Sprints

Personally I remember the glory days of Lance Armstrong and remember watching everyday of the TDF just to watch greatness. My high school summers were filled with cross practice and spending the rest of the day on the couch watching that day's stage.

It was fun and exciting to see an American do so well.

I defended him until the end and still choose not to believe it. I will say he did screw over a lot of people and deserved it.

Though when it comes to NOP I don't really care that they "walked the line" when it comes to these "Allegations".

It appears that everything is circumstantial and not overwhelming like Armstrong. In my eyes, I need to see overwhelming proof that they broke the rules. Until then I just see them as being on the cutting edge.

I think that to be able to compete, you have push the limits. If you don't someone else will, and beat you. Nice Guys Finish Last.

You and everyone else from Nike on here are just a bunch of blind fools. You can have your rationalization. Most people don't give a damn about what you think.

We get it, you like them and you feel associated with them because of whatever reason. But they are cheaters. They crossed the line long ago and continue to cross it despite their weak rationalizations like "it's not really a line" or "the sport is unhealthy and we have to make them healthy".

If you know that they crossed the line and continue to support them like a ignorant, naive turkey trot hobbyjogger/hobbycyclist who only pays attention to olympic sports once every 4 years athletes, you are a f**king fool.

Excellent satire

But what if I believe they didn't cross the line?

Cheating isn't going anywhere. Players will always be looking for ways to be competitive:

From your original post it seemed to me that you don't care if they crossed the line or not, don't want it to end, and that's your business. "Deep down,"many of us do want it to end and not to be replaced by anything similar, and maybe would feel a little better buying stuff from Nike if they pulled the plug. I don't expect that to happen though.

That's great. We'll send you the athlete's medical bills from Salazar's uncontrolled human experiments.

You are okay with doping. Pay for it.
