Fucking liar

[KowBoySpace]

There is nothing to say he was not so embarrassed at falling off he didnt initially pretend he did it on purpose. Many people do. Then he realised it could get him in shit and now looks like a clown...

Well, a clown with a world record, gold medal, in a straight race the results of which were never in doubt according to the independent bodies.

It is the French crying about this due GB thrashing them, repeatedly.

His English sounds fine to me. He DIdnt technically break a rule he just used a loophole. They were the fastest team either way

Such  a Liar

[zisssssou]

so..... if it's in the uci rules, why his federation asked him to lie...?

emabarassing stuff

[zisssssou]

thinking to lance armstrong, jeannie longo, contador and now philip hindes, seem that lying is the new kind of dope in cycling.

please shut up, u did it in purpose

[CasbooHD]

It's funny that people ate this so seriously, half of the countries commenting probably had no chance anyway, just leave it out.

Yeh it doesnt say 'deliberate' puncture either does it. So I guess if he stabbed his wheel then that would have been OK? Duh!

You dont want to answer, i take that as a "no, i dont like that fact that he cheated, but its difficult for me to be objective, so instead i am gonna try with some irrelevant diversions".

Just to let you know, i dont like any kind of cheating, no matter where it comes from....and i would never brag about a medal won by way of it!

Why not like the other medals (noone tells you that did not do well, cause you did), and admit that this was shit!?

[Socialisten]

Your logic tells me that everything not stated in the track rules is okay.

Well.....my guess is that there is no section on kicking other competitors in the face, shooting them, molesting them with a pole etc........so, it must be allowed too, right?

Another point......why did the brits shortly after try to deny the fact that he cheated, by saying that he was misunderstood, if everything is perfectly okay....strange dont you think, cause i am sure they read the rules too?

Honesty.. come on...
