I've been using a supplement called andropenis and I'm wondering if they test for it at these roller races?

me thinks the roller racing events are calender'd to close together. One in Nov. and one on Valentines day should be the dates IMO. Cranksgiving & Lovecranks - Whats up with roller racing in the middle of base building Jan?

By: Wheelsucker
Tue, 01/08/2008 - 12:25pm

I agree that riders that serve out their complete suspension should be given a second opportunity. You'll have to identify this "positive tested rider". Rumor spreading isnt exactly a warm bag of puppies for the sport either. That said, win or your're fired does suck. Is that behavior public knowledge? Do you know of a rider that had such an experience?
Do tell.

Dopers
By: lee
Tue, 01/08/2008 - 11:42am

Newsflash...Riders that serve their suspension should be given an opportunity to return to racing. It sucks that they resorted to such measures in the first place but to have the "never comeback attitude" isnt what this sport is about. There are many examples or riders that returned successfully. Many that made the Grand Tours fun to watch despite thier past. Bottom line is real sponsors dont cut and run, they support and do what they can to make it clean; or maybe cleaner than before they became involved with the sport to begin with. I'm sure I'll take heat for my position but thats how I feel.
Lets face it, Tyler's basically an old fart now so why not watch let'em race? Maybe he'll own up to his mistakes in the past "on national television" behind the scenes at a race or something. I'd be interested to hear his take on his career in the wake of whats gone on these past few years.

Michael Ball sucks. His attitude of win at all cost in anything sucks. His hiring dopers sucks. And when the story breaks on one of his top riders from last year, he'll be on his begging to get into races. He encourages the worst behavior in the sport that is threatening to ruin it. He shows no conscience. HED and Andreu were smart to jump. It's the worst thing that Floyd can do if he wants to maintain any integrity.

I love Michael Ball's reaction to the HED, and equipment fall-out. You gotta hand it to the guy; with enthusiasm like that how could you not want to work with'em.

That's to bad

Only riders on the stage correct? We traveled in from NJ last time to race and people were just to close to the riders.

How many local womens teams will show up to defend their turf? I'm guessing none. Cmdy Cntrl, will probably be a no show. Maybe Schmalz can race with a CC kit since he is the womens sprint champ. What about Cadence womens? Or Metro?
