personally I think he stayed one step ahead of the technology
They don't destroy the blood and urine samples. They're still there in storage available for testing and do get tested when improvements in technology come along. That's how Contador got caught.

But still no positive tests for Armstrong.

There has to be some doubt surrounding him, there will always be doubt surrounding this era simply because of the amount of doping that has been proven - though that's not to say it hadn't gone largely undetected for a long time before the last 15 years or so.

However, for a bloke to be handed down the harshest penalty on some very flimsy evidence, by an agency he has criticised and one who has been written off by cycling bodies (not saying they don't have their own motive) deserves the same amount of suspicion.

If Armstrong was cheating, nothing to say the rest of the world's heroes weren't, either, or that a couple of shirty teammates can't ruin a cyclists career. That Cadel in 8th place is the highest legitimate result for '05 could just as easily mean that he's the best at not getting caught - though I'm not alleging that he did cheat, rather it's possible.
I pretty much agree with all of this.

also got GWS with a 80 point head start which isn't looking good. 31 points after the first quarter was ok but only a rushed behind to their name in the second quarter and blowing out to 93 point lead is just disgusting and can't see any sort of success apart from a handful of wins a year (mainly against each other) for the expansion teams for a long time to come

Their game against the Donks next week will be an absolute cracker, definitely deserving of a Friday night

Gyngell paid for the rights, he will f**king well do what he wants with them. Who cares what fans of the game want?

Gyngell is a f**kwit. He's like a wannabe Kerry Packer without any of the charisma.

And he had the nerve to say channel 9 is covering the NRL better than 7 is covering the AFL. Yeah because his 20th century status quo offer that we accepted is so much better than 4 live nationwide games a week. f**king idiot.

I wish there wasn't so much tension in my house right now. I feel like making some warm apple pies with ice-cream but it would suck to do that and be the only one who eats them

Umpires just cost the Swans the minor premiership.

f**k I'm glad I don't care about Union because the Wallabies would just about kill me.

Tension or not who in their right mind would say no to warm apple pie and ice cream? I don't care if I hated the person, if they offered me pie and ice cream I'd eat it.

note to everyone: BunniesMan will eat a warm apple pie with ice-cream if you offer it, (just don't forget to lace it with poison)

I'd smash your pelvis bone.

Actually there is no pelvis bone per se, it is a structure consisting of a number of bones.
