Does Hamilton's positive change your thinking...

doping or no doping, no drug lets you ride a tour with a broken collarbone. he'll always have my respect for that.

here is something tyler said

(Regarding Prentice

And finally, as if July wasn\'t a tough enough month for me personally, I just want to make something clear.

I arrived home from Paris on Monday afternoon to read the story on the Internet some of you have referenced in the guest book on my website. A former part-time team physician has made derogatory public statements about my former U.S. Postal teammates and me. This is not the first time this man has done this. (reference: Gorski incensed about drug allegations against Postal team).

It has always been my policy to try to take the high road and keep some thoughts to myself. But I also realize there are a lot of young cyclists who follow my career, so it is on their behalf that I will finally respond.

The claim that I, along with another teammate, approached a team doctor and asked him questions about doping products back in 1996 is absolutely false. I swear on my wife\'s life and the grave of my dog that I never asked that man about anything of the sort. If you know anything about me, you know this is as emphatic as I can be. I\'m truly saddened to have to respond publicly to such an accusation.

i guess we will see what happens....but if he really did this..he doesnt get my respect

Double speak. Notice he did not swear on his wife's life that he has not engaged in any blood doping or other banned enhancement? Marion Jones did the same thing when she said "I did not take any banned substancees" and not "I did not take THG".

I don't want to think that any of my sports "heros" are cheats, but I think there are going to be a lot of dissapointments in the Nass household.

Listen numbnuts....this is not a court of law. Just because an athlete is smart enough to evade or otherwise mask a positive test does not make him innocent. He is guilty the day he sticks the needle in his arm NOT the day the test comes up positive.

I used to wonder why spammers would bother wasting so much time and energy plying their eveil trade - I mean, no one would actually buy the shit they peddle, right? Even if my debt was too big and my dick too small, I wouldn't actually RESPOND to spam, right? I mean no one would, right?

But then I read posts by people like "kingofthehalf" and remind myself that yes, there are incredibly stupid, desperate and gullible people out there. The same people saying "HE HASNT TESTED POSTIVE FOR ANY THING SO FUCKOFF & DIE" are the ones quietly sending away for those GROW YOUR COCK 3 INCHES! magic pills.

DING DING DING...ok its still early but this gets my nomination for post of the day.

With all due respect, I think it's completely unfair to label Lance guilty because "another top American" got busted. To be perfectly honest, I fail to understand your logic. Does that mean that if a top American distance runner (not Meb) got busted, it would indicate that Meb was guilty? Are you asscciating guilt by nationality?

I didn't make myself clar. I don't think Hamilton's positive increases the actual likelihood of Lance being a doper, but I do think it might make people more inclined to accept the possibility. That's what I was wondering about.

Also, to the other dink, the average age of a red blood cell is 120 days, so your RBCs turn over every three months. This "transfusion stays with you for life" shit proves that you, not I, are the one in need of a physiology lesson. Me emotional, my ass. Go f*** yourself!

to all of you who are going to, or already have jumped down tyler hamilton's throat: HE HASN"T TESTED POSITIVE FOR ANY DRUG.

He has simply been tagged for having a blood abnormality. That is all, and is that simple at this time. Until he has been found guilty of any drug use, it doesn't mean shit. So f*** off, and die, all of you who dare to criticize someone who is infinitely more talented than you, without knowing all of the facts.
