The UCI is evil (he might have that right?). Anything negative that has happened to Saint Greg is a direct result of something that was done to him. Saint Greg has never done anything, or failed to do something, that should have caused him a negative consequence. Saint Greg knows scientific geniuses with a full understanding of the physiology related to physical potential in professional cyclists. Because he knows them, he also fully understands what few of us can understand about a pro cyclist’s potential to win races. It’s all about genetics and the formula can’t be fooled, except by dirty dopers. Saint Greg says he had the highest genetic potential, so he was the best of all time. So his theory basically states that through a random genetic gift bestowed upon him by his parents, he won the VO2 max lottery and anyone that bettered his cycling performances is a dirty doper. Makes the head spin. Kind of sorry I took the time to read his drivel.<BR/>2. As with the rest of his case, I continue to hope for the best for Floyd while expecting the worst and the worst usually happens. If for no other reason than the pattern, I have my doubts that U.S court in California will decide it has jurisdiction. I’ve read the filing and the related documents TbV has generously supplied to us from his hospital bed. It reads as it the court in California should have jurisdiction as it narrowly attacks USADA’s 100k award and certain points of fairness related directly to the CAS hearing. Again, Floyd and his attorneys have demonstrated how the deck is stacked.<BR/>3. Hopefully Judge Hue and racejunkie will move their discussion over here to TbV. Always enlightening.<BR/>4. I’m also wondering if there is anything remotely similar that the judge who will rule upon jurisdiction has ruled on in the past? The biases of the players will likely have at least as much influence as the pertinent rules, regulations, and lawsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427604865634964926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-24050208131686038922008-10-03T08:40:00.000-07:002008-10-03T08:40:00.000-07:00It gives me cause to wonder, does a LeMond bicycle...It gives me cause to wonder, does a LeMond bicycle get twisted also as it ages?nahualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897814178784873052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-66802342107205535172008-10-03T06:56:00.000-07:002008-10-03T06:56:00.000-07:00TBV - Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Riders will gather near a ghost bike festooned with a flag, sign and other mementos that well-wishers have left at the site of the accident in her memory.<BR/><BR/>Ghost bikes, which are painted white and left near the scene of an accident to commemorate a cyclist who lost his or her life in a traffic accident, are a relatively new phenomena in the Twin Cities, said Jeremy Werst, who runs the online forum www.mplsbikelove.com and is helping organize Saturday's ride.<BR/><BR/>During Saturday's 13.6-mile ride, participants are asked to wear black shirts with orange ribbons tied to their handlebars or arms, Werst said. The ride will begin at Heuer Bower's ghost bike, then cross into Minneapolis and head west down Lake Street to Excelsior Blvd. and W. 32nd Street, where Jimmy Nisser was killed on Sept. 11. Police are still looking for the vehicle that hit Nisser, which paint chip analysis shows was tannish-gold/light brown. The vehicle's make is either a Dodge Ram pickup truck made between 1998 and 2000 or a Jeep Grand Cherokee made between 1996 and 1998, police said.<BR/><BR/>From there the ride will head northeast on Hennepin to the ghost bike memorial for Nicholas Morton. He was killed Sept. 23 at 5th Street and Nicollet Mall.<BR/><BR/>At each stop, people can leave flowers, messages and engage in a moment of silence.<BR/><BR/>A separate ride also will take place Saturday to the site where Dale Aanenson died Sept. 22 in Blaine. A photo shoot of bicycle commuters will follow at 3 p.m. at Gold Medal Park in downtown Minneapolis. That photo is designed to bring attention to the high number of people who bike to work.<BR/><BR/>For more information, see www.ghostbikempls.org.dfolsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660553774254835003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-79824998148053222592008-10-03T05:28:00.000-07:002008-10-03T05:28:00.000-07:00"I mentioned that the UCI was corrupt two years ag..."I mentioned that the UCI was corrupt two years ago prior to Floyd’s positive and I got two letters from Pat McQuaid saying he was going to sue me for slander. Thank god my attorneys, they just sent him a copy of the First Amendment and the Webster’s dictionary definition of the word ‘corrupt.’ They said, hey, if you wanna sue Greg for slander, come to the US. It wouldn’t stand up. "<BR/><BR/>Huh, well Greg, if you hadn't made so many vituperative threats to me regarding slander over the phone a year ago, maybe sent me a letter instead, I would have had the ability to calmly reply to you in such a way. <BR/><BR/>You're the thug.whareaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824055294445501713noreply@blogger.com
