I have problems in general with dictatorial, egomaniacal, assholes who only choose to persecute the weakest. He's still looking for those FIFA names in Puerto, and any sign of wrongdoing in the IOC that he couldn't find, right? Bill C

I hope the UCI does it and ignores the screams and > slander that'll come from Pound on this. dumbass, you are obsessed with dick pound. maybe you should stop looking for a scapegoat for cycling's problems ? there is some (but not a lot of) merit to the idea that pound's attitude created the climate that led to the LNDD mess, but even that is a stretch. dick pound didn't make the telekom riders dope and then admit it this past week and he didn't bust festina or the madrid lab.

Quick, everybody take a > nice, long breath or two. Whew! Smells good! --D-y Nice to see, even the possibility of, a pause in the insanity and some rational thought. I hope the UCI does it and ignores the screams and slander that'll come from Pound on this. That would be the first step in creating a reasonable environment surrounding this whole mess. Now the riders need to form a real union, support each other, and force the UCI and Wada to treat them like human beings. Bill C
