typical failure of the press
articles are flying about floyd landis’s supposed positive test in the tour de france for a banned performance booster. pretty much every goddamned one says “A sample” and “B sample”. okay, any one of you fuckers writing that shit want to take a paragraph to explain what it means? how about some details (e.g., what’s the difference between the two, including timing, storage, controls, analysts)? no, it’s the same old shit where everybody finds a buzzword and starts torquing it as if we’re all in the know. of course, what it usually demonstrates is that people writing it are not in the know.
given the general incompetence of people, i want to know what processes are being used to destroy a man’s reputation. restraint? not much there, as most every dumb motherfucker in the world wants to pretend he “knew” landis was doping.
somebody do me a favor and drive on over to whatever lawn greg lemond is snaking through and tell him to shut his trap. oh, he has to make a pronouncement. “lance is dirty!” “floyd is clean!” “uh… oh, well, i thought floyd was clean. damned shame about floyd!”
yeah, hold your horses, suspicious, accusatory fuck. he exhibits some of the likely signs of a former doper, the way he jumps outward like jimmy swaggart.
i want to take this opportunity to announce that i have never taken performance enhancing drugs before, during, or after racing, except a few times i got a decent piece of ass before a race, which helps. wouldn’t laying down some fine tush boost testosterone? hope i don’t have to give back all my cash and merchandise. har har.
one thing refreshing in all of this was landis’s mom, who unlike most cretins in such interviews didn’t make the ridiculous claim that there was no way her boy could be involved in that. wondering though what this sainted mennonite lady was doing using the phrase “hit the fan”. egads! there’s a controversy for the press dipshits.
