RaceClean.org

First visit RaceClean.org and then come back to my post.....

The headline at the top says, "Helping Racers Make The Right Choice." From what I have read I don't see anything resembling that claim, unless you count the fear they're obviously trying to project on professional cyclists. I'm not much of a legal eagle, but if my name were mentioned and I were a clean professional then I'd be contacting my lawyer. Read the June 7th post regarding his wish to eventually be sued. I'd like to see that happen if it would become something more worthy than a tabloid news item at the grocery checkout.

Hopefully you read far down the list because the publisher makes a lot of claims and accusations. Seriously, some of the comments will make you say "holy....." I probably wasted a good 30 minutes reading posts well into the past, and the whole time I kept thinking, "Damn, I hope they don't make a claim about someone I know." I think I know my friends better than this person, but one can make any claim and post it on a website.

Many notable names on the US professional cycling circuit as well as Euro pros are mentioned as being dopers. I'm not going to repeat those names since you can read them for yourselves. It's interesting to read how everything is intertwined and connected. It's not just straightforward accusations without a little bit of context, but it's obvious this person has more to share yet chooses to protect sources.

Sooner or later this site will have to account for their actions, good or bad.

You are right, I did say "Holy ____" several times. Some even audibly. The shock actually changed to anger. Guys like this actually do more harm than good.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on what CycleSport is doing.
