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.

    No harm done.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
