News, but not final decision. Only NOW will he be stripped of it.

I know that pro cycling is PACKED with drugs, and this was an arbitration panel, so I can safely assume he is in fact guilty.

Sports that require finesse might not have cheaters, i.e. tennis, golf.

Anything that is pure strength/endurance will have cheating when theres so much money at stake.

Curling is still pure.......unless you consider cheap beer a performance enhancer.

if everyone was cheating in the field, then shouldn't he not be stripped of title since it's the only way to keep up? hehe.

oh well

Just let em fucking use the shit. I'd rather watched doped up super athletes anyways. Someone is always going to find a new way to get an edge, why not let them use it.

Not so fast...LOL

There has been talk (for years) on the circuit of
a certain substance you can smoke that makes you hungry and could that help you in an eating competition
Link and also, There've been rumors that Kobayashi was surgically altered by the Japanese government (from the same interview)

CL: Here's the thing - there are always the rumors. There've been rumors that Kobayashi was surgically altered by the Japanese government. There are the theories that say hey, there's a certain substance you can smoke that makes you hungry and could that help you in an eating competition. At Coleman's Bar & Grill (where Crazy Legs makes his home), we ran an unofficial, yet sanctioned, grilled cheese eating contest in which seven contestants competed and five were on that substance. And you would have thought the guys on the smokable substance would have done better, but really, they just stood there and smiled. So, generally, no. I'd say drugs would work against you in competition.

lol! :D

really makes me mad...but the good news is, cycling is one of the few sports that do blood testing to detect all of this. you can beat your dollar if they were this strict in baseball, bonds and sosa would be out of a job!
