This is the real racing, not that boring F1!

This is real racing?
You mean who is first at Dr. Fuentes?
Or the race to next EPO-shop?

I loved this sport several years ago. But as everybody- including several amateurs uses doping I started to hate it.

yeah, if you knew the % of ciclist in a proffesional event who have been diagnosed Asthma you would become scared of seeing them diying any race.

Very hardcore cycling fans will tell you that every sport has the same % of dopers but that it is only in cycling that they take serious measures. I have never believed them but I believe they do have a point (the difference is not so big as it would appear).
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Would you agree that the measures taken e.g. at soccer are a joke compared to cycling?

Especially if you think of the money involved .

not sure of the meassures taken in soccer, but generally I agree with you hotshot.

However there is another difference, in soccer physical condition is just 50-60% of the game and technique plays a much bigger role than in cycling.

I beleive the meassures in athletism are similar to cycling ones, because those sports are all physical. But we will keep seeing 35-40 year old cyclist and atlhetes dying B)

No I do not agree...

The controls in cycling had been as easy as they are now in soccer.

But after they found more and more dopers, they started to look deeper. This did not happen in soccer.

Perhaps you underestimate the physical aspect of soccer.
In the premier leagues the player run 10-12 km each game, sometimes twice a week. Just google for doping and Turin or Marseille. There organized doping could be proved.
I think it's absurd that FIFA/UEFA stopped the doping tests during the summer and winter break.

Similar here ....with one difference, I still have a small hope, they will get the cycling relatively "clean" one day. Is it naive thinking? Maybe, but I still like this sport too much to give it already up. Damn Catch-22 situation :angry:

Only went to one Paralympics, but really enjoyed it. It's awesome what people can do. Here are some great images from the Winter Paralympics going on now (worth waiting to load if your connection is slow).

I follow the coverage in ice-hockey. It is amazing to watch, how imaginative, fast und tricky they play.

A lot of those are appropriate for the Pictures that Say 1000 Words thread.

I've never heard of it.

In an attempt to sort of align myself with mainstream TV culture, I try to watch House when I can. I don't see how this show ever got popular. Every episode is EXACTLY THE SAME.

if you havent seen it, save yourself the trouble. The doctors find a patient for whom they can't diagnose the problem, they try 3 or 4 different treatments that dont work, House figures out the solution, everyone lives happily ever after. The doctors have relationship problems.

How is this supposed to be interesting to people?

Edit: Not a TV person ldo. Justin tells me I have to get into Buffy. Anyone?
