Re: [roadracingukandireland] Re: Tyler Hamilton

Ok I'll throw open the pandora's box and ask this question.

Should we just legalise drugs and let them take what they want?
Maybe even having 2 different types of races, those who take and those who
are clean?

An aero wheel gives you some benefits, so does taking EPO, the difference is
can you afford it and do you want to damage your health doing it. So where
do we stop. Maybe we should all race on steel bikes, with no aero wheels, no
tri bars, no aero dynamic clothes, just wooley jumpers etc.

You get a puncture, tough, no spare inner tubes.

I always had good feelings toward Hamiltaon and I wsa surprised that he was implicted in a doping scandal. Saying that, I never considered him a real contender...

As to bikes, I'm willing to accept whatever the UCI rules to be a legal machine. I assume all the teams and manufacturers have some opportunity to comment...
