andreas kloden, a young man from a privleldged background, with a history of being too lazy to train, was too lazy to train right over the winter, and got sent home to switzerland, where he lives, to train some more. what's your point? am i missing some enuendo here? (not meaning to sound like a smarta55, btw)

a product of East Germany? He shouldn't have been from a background of privilege unless he was a child of a politburo member. but radical jumps in performance are usually more indicators of something being "up".

Having your off season training in the RSA, Canary Islands, etc... again smells fishy.
I'm no big conspiracy theorist but I just try to point out things to show the myopia of certain dope screamers.

when behavior as such goes un noticed I think I smell homerism.

and that was why the t-mobile bosses consider him lazy. he didn't need the job, so to speak. might have been someone else. i did read they consider him unmotivated, and he was never a consistant performer. that i would think would be an indicator of NOT being on drugs. where as if i guy is always good, not a mortal with ups and downs, he may really be on something. who knows. makes me wonder about boonen, and that's sad, really. we all shouldn't just assume that they all are doing it. i remember shortly after the tdf and the olympics reading in the usa today about someone getting busted bringing dope accross the boarder from canada. it was bio-genetic stuff. undetectable, and it modifies genes instead of working on the blood or muscles. next gen stuff. the article was talking about how wada or some other agencies didn't think this stuff existed yet, and how horrowing of a thought it is that this is out there. i immediatly thought of a certain us cyclist, which was of course wrong to do, but it just goes to show you how tainted this sport is if everytime someone does either good or gets sent home early, we think "drugs". i'm just glad i don't have to live that way, as a rec rider. anybody want a some of my e.p.oatmeal? i'm going riding and can't eat it all.
