Hip Hip HURRAY!!!! Total respect…
Under close inspection of this photo, if you look to the right one could see the crowd fade under a horizon line, which would mean that there is a segment of road we cant see. I believe that, knowing the way this guy attacks, there’s probably nothin there accept photo-motorcycles!
be ready to change those results when the controls come back from usada
If you’re entitled to your opinion, don’t you think we’re entitled to know whose opinion that is? Why do you hide in online anonymity – are you ashamed of what you think? Would you make your comment out loud and in person?
And a general question for the anonymous accuser and the rest of the audience – what makes cyclists think that other cyclists dope? Is it some kind of observation made or tip heard regarding the purchase or use of performance enhancing drugs? Or is it merely the fact that those other cyclists win?
Mr. Anonymity do you really think a guy that works a full time job at a bikeshop can afford to have doping products. I was told that this stuff is expensive which is why mostly only elite and top end domestic teams can afford it. This guy Pulla – a 40hr work week athlete beat all of these really good riders and if you look @ his results – Mengoni 04′, Parkridge 05′, Bear……. the list goes friggen on.
Why cant a guy just be talented these days without some nameless idiot spouting off baseless crap.
It will take a few months, because he will appeal the positive that looms for his “A” sample, so they’ll test his “B” sample, then that positive will be communicated to the Dominican Federation, and they probably won’t sanction him, so WADA and Dick Pound will get involved, but it will eventually come out…you don’t win Univest working in a bike shop all day if you’re not juiced.
haha… you don’t see anyone else who was on drugs in that photo at least …
Chris Horner was working in a bike shop when he was knocking them around the the Tour Dupont I believe…
NYVC – I think your first post was spot on. After looking at the submitted photo’s the only thing beyond the horizon line in the unseen segment of road was actually a moto-photog. Pulla just out-played them all. I read the Velo-news article and I believe he said he got into this 13 man group and just sat in for a bit to get his strength together. When I usually see Pulla race he’s either chasing a break with a couple guys or he’s being chased. It sounds like he had some good advise in his ear for this race and launched at the right moment.
whoever assumes Pulla is a doper does not know this him.he is one of the most upstanding bike racers from NYC. he’s actually is an athlete with natural talent. hard to swallow for the jealous- eeh???
www
Word on the street is that Pulla’s A-sample JUST came back positive for EPO.
Well, if it’s true, Dick’s going to im-Pound Pulla’s pee-pee.
where did you get that he is positive!!!!!!
Which race was he tested at ???
