Great stuff. “We might as well abandon ship” – while funny and appropriate, you know these knuckleheads will deny deny deny until the day they die.

McQuak. What a joke. Oops, 100K from Pharmstrong was an oversight. But never mind, yeah, let’s pursue Michael Barry, that Canadian cheat who’s stealing top podium finishes.
““Small injections we previously thought didn’t have a biological impact do work,†Ashenden said.
Based on anecdotal evidence, Ashenden said he thought that cyclists were microdosing EPO only during the spring and fall, when races generally last one or two days, and through the off-season. Police activity, he said, makes it too risky for athletes and teams to travel with vials of EPO during three-week events like the Tour de France.
Ashenden said he thought that transfusions of blood frozen during the off-season at special laboratories remained the doping method of choice during long races.
…
Not everyone accepts the researchers’ conclusions. Among them is Michele Ferrari, the controversial Italian sports medicine doctor whose clients have included Armstrong.
“It’s a bit like playing Russian roulette,†Ferrari said in an e-mail exchange. “There is absolutely no microdose that can be taken without the risk of getting detected by out of competition controls within a 12-hour window.â€
…
Although she has not seen the new research, Rossi of the cycling federation said she was not surprised to learn that cyclists might have found a way to use EPO again without detection.
“I know perfectly well that they are organizing themselves,†she said. “We are obliged to publish what we are doing while they can study it and work underground.—
“There is obviously a strong relationship with Armstrong,†Schenk added. “The UCI took a lot of money from Armstrong – to my knowledge 500,000 dollars – and now there is speculation that there are financial connections to Armstrong, as well as the American market. I do not know what sort of connections Verbruggen has.â€
Richman added: “The government normally leaves it up to sports leagues to discipline those athletes who may have used performance-enhancing drugs. Fraud is something the government takes quite seriously, particularly where a lot of money is involved and conduct is flagrant.â€
I’m sorry, it’s just too difficult any longer to believe any athlete about drugs. Too many of them have lied and lied and lied, until they were proved to be … lying. Oh, I know they’re all innocent until proven guilty. It’s just that by now, I’m afraid that I think sport — all sport — is guilty until proven innocent.

And we have people whining wanting their $25 bucks back from the Floyd fund, I bet S.C.A. will go a bit harder to get their $5 Mil back!

This strip goes for the jugular attacking his (ex-)wife, profession, and best friend’s loyalty in a left-right-left combo. I like.

not published and even if it is we’re not going to tell you what we did, but we have proof that there is cheating going on.
Anyone care about real science?

haha yeah, the word of these days is, “misology.”
