That's an insinuation all right. Your denial is meaningless.RonK wrote:i'm insinuating nothing.

Well, that's a fair point. It's a point about the credibility of the sport, though, not the credibility of any individual. Attacking an individual (something the OP did, not you) is unhelpful and unwarranted.Alex Simmons/RST wrote: I think the issue is that there is such a long and consistent history of doping denials from those who have subsequently been found to have lied, that all professional rider's statements are being viewed with a degree scepticism, irrespective of the credibility of the individual in question.

I think you are being overly sensitive high_tea - I read Ron's post along the lines set out by Alex, although I see how it can be taken a different way.

So did i, and i'm getting that feeling every time i read a statement by a supposedly clean rider. After the high profile cases of riders swearing black and blue that they have never had anything to do with drugs and they don't even know how to spell drugs, then it comes out that no, they were lying all along, it's really hard to trust anyone. I'm not saying for a second that i think Mcgee has done anything, but after reading of how much difference can be made with even virtually undetectable doping, it's hard to believe that clean riders could really compete unless the dopers were having a bad day.find_bruce wrote:I think you are being overly sensitive high_tea - I read Ron's post along the lines set out by Alex, although I see how it can be taken a different way.
