Is it just me or does it appear to anyone else that the cycling sporting world is just rotten to the core.

Mr. Rogers says he is innocent Yeah right!

They all say that.

I just don't watch, read or follow in any way the sport any more.

Give me something clean like AFL!

TBH I alway thought there was something wrong with Cycling and how it was Managed.

There was a young guy from where I live who was in the Australian 4 x pursuit Olympic team. He rode in the race to get into the gold metal race and the team smashed the world record to get there. But he was replaced so another rider could race for the Gold Metal instead.

Nothing wrong with that - it's a legitimate way in which relay teams in many sports (including athletics) are managed.

Not sure you on a winner with that comment WJ.

The Guy they replaced him with was not in the team at the time and it was wide reported that Cycling Manager only made the change to give him a gold medal. Which resulted in a person who was on the team being droped from the "Grand Final" for no good reason, as he was a world record breaking riderat the time and noone could seriously expect him too do more than that.

With Management decisions like that and I could have used a few more examples similar to this one, means selection is based on subjective decisions making processes. As a result the Sport would not always select the best athlete for the various teams and I would assume a lot of government funding has be given to the sport over the years.

Talking only in general terms and don't know the circumstances of your case but what was done is permitted under the rules in many sports. If the selectors used the rule to do something dodgy, that's another matter altogether.

It was a few years ago WJ but it remeber most of what when on because the kid involved was from my home town and the LG I was working for at the time gave in a few donations.

Then they replayed him in the gold metal race with a rider who was a street racer and not a specialist track racer and the race was on a track, IMO that was dodgy.

"Property of the Hells Angels"is one I have witnessed first hand.

I had that experience once in my youth.

I borrowed the property and promptly returned it back .

No harm done.

To me-thankfully .

Beautiful Town, but the nanas are very slow growing there.

Some good footy players around Glenorchy, Dodges Ferry.

My namesake himself hails from there, and played Shield Cricket for Tas!

Scallops,Oysters, Pinot, Reisling! Enjoy the worlds best food.

There must be some serious negotiations going on for line honours if they have flown you down RL.

Good luck with the Yachty types-punch one in the rugby jumper for me.

Was down there 2 yrs ago for a holiday. I remember getting cherries on Bruny Island that were so big and juicy it was hard to believe they were cherries. Great cheeses on Bruny Is as well.
