    Some quick thoughts pulled from comments I made in other places:

    Connect the dots.

    Child's play, really. For me, it all goes back to this:

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_doping_cases_in_cycling:

    The Culture of Cycling, and Doping

    This is, without question, the most insightful and well-written article I have ever read on culture of the sport, the difference between Americans and Europeans, and the motivations for doping.

    Now Is The Time

    I've had this song by The Specials in my head all weekend:

    If you have a racist friend
    Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end

    Be it your sister
    Be it your brother
    Be it your cousin or your, uncle or your lover

    If you have a racist friend
    now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end

    Be it your best friend
    Or any other
    Is it your husband or your father or your mother?

    Tell them to change their views
    Or change their friends
    Now is the time, now is the time, for your friendship to end

    So if you know a racist who thinks he is your friend
    Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end

    Call yourself my friend?
    Now is the time to make up your mind, don't try to pretend

    Be it your sister
    Be it your brother
    Be it your cousin or your uncle or your lover

    So if you are a racist
    Our friendship has got to end
    And if your friends are racists don't pretend to be my friend

    So if you have a racist friend
    Now is the time, now is the time for our friendship to end

    GOODBYE

    It's doping that's been on my mind more than racism, but the sentiment is the same.

     

    I couldn't help myself!

    I knew this would most likely get deleted, so I grabbed a screen shot. 15 whole minutes it was up there before Hunter deleted it:

    I mean, I love Hunter. He's an old friend, and I have friends on Fly V, but how could I not call this one out? Is O'Neill going to be there to provide dieting advice to the campers?

    Don't work with or hire dopers if you're not prepared to get shit for it.

    Balls

    I always forget Joe Papp has a blog.

    I think he complimented me but I'm not sure.
