What serious chance does he have to appeal this? I don't know anything about drug testing, but I figure that if it comes up positive twice in a row you're probably doping...right?
It'd be nice if they were able to prove he didn't dope. Nobody needs more reason to hate on Americans.
Because one guy cheated (assuming he did)? People in all countries cheat. If you hate on a country becauseof that, you're an insecure human being.
IBTN (to joust)
If I quit my job and played golf 10 times a week or more, I could make at least the champions tour, I could never do that in cycling. I'm not saying I could win on the tour, but I could shave 10 strokes and get my card.
Golf is repetition, that's all, you can teach that.
Cycling is endurance and speed, which you can't teach.
Actually, I do kinda hate both your posts. So I think Razor may have a point.Quote:

Some people cannot be good at golf, you can teach them repetition, but it doesn't make them good, because it's the ability to take into effect all variables and change accordingly that makes someone talented.
And high 80's is still 15+ over par, how the hell will that get you lunch? So you have a natural talent for golf, GG, congrats, my dad's been playing for years and still sucks. He just doesn't really have the ability to perform with the consistancy required to be good at the sport. And if it's repetition, why is it you have to make changes? Why haven't you gotten a repeition down that consistantly provides you with the ability to succeed with incredible numbers?
I don't recall every sucking up to Sleeveboy, CKA, Nick, or any of the admins, so I don't see how I've been trying to win the favor of anyone of "importance"Quote:

Well, let's see, I work all week, and I don't have time to play 10 times a week. I shot 80's on two days a week at the club. Just like video games and you masterbating to josh, the more you do it, the better you get.
Pro's have been playing 40 hours a week since they were teens, all of them. I bet you Landis can pick up a golf club and hit the ball,and get better with practice, do you think Tiger Woods could ever be a cyclist?
Case Closed
But that's not always true, there are plenty of people who will hit an unbridgeable gap. I can play decent any fighters, but no matter how hard I try, I always hit a wall where I Just stop improving, the same is for these things. You may not be effected by that wall here, which while good for you, some people are.
If he tried? Yes.Quote:

See actually having played a sport could help you here.
I could teach you to golf and play well enough to beat 1/2 of the assholes on the public courses in one year. Landis and I could bike every week, and I will still suck ass.
I played soccer for about 8 years, same wall. Once again, make a point not some biased assumption forced to make one.
I will give you this point that, Golf is an easier sport to handle at any point and time in your life, whereas Cycling you have to start earlier to be good. I could agree to that.
