Radio 5 said this morning that the USADA won a court case to confirm they have autorisation to strip him of his titles back to 1998.


They will probably then go down the pecking order to the guy who came 113th, to get the first clean cyclist.


Personally I'm suspicious of any cyclist who wins the Tour de France. I have my doubts whether its possible to win it "clean".

I like Bradley. I hope he is clean. I'm suspicious of the whole Tour.

If you scroll to the bottom of ther attached link, it has a table of the results of 1998-2012 Tour with colour coding for the doping charges. White is clean, there are few in the top 10 over the years who are still considered clean and most of the winners are doping, and with Lance Armstrong now sure to be coloured in, its clear its a very difficult race to make the top 10 without "help".


Its unwise to have blind faith in any winner of the Tour IMO.

    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.   
    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.
