Did you think this through or are you high on oxys again?

Yes I'm in lots of pain at the moment, despite the meds, and it may be affecting my thinking. What's the issue you have?

Regarding the oxys, it's not something they hand out freely here. I got 5mg twice daily for 11 days and then 8 days of 5mg once daily to taper off. After ambulance rides, 2 weeks in the ICU with epidural, then 2 more ER visits in one week. Shitty past few weeks.

Professional cycling is a grueling sport,


It was more interesting before the drug testing.

Pot belge

The term is commonly used to describe a mixture of drugs, variously constituted from cocaine, heroin, caffeine, amphetamines, and other analgesics.

The mixture has become widely associated with the world of professional cycling where it was used for many years, before the institution of highly regulated testing.

In his memoir 'Prisonnier du dopage', former pro cyclist Philippe Gaumont describes using pot belge for winter training purposes more than as aid during competition: "J'ai toujours entendu les anciens dire que prendre les amphétamines pour une grande sortie d'entraînement aide à 'débloquer le moteur'" (rough translation from French: "I've always heard old timers say that taking amphetamines before a training ride helps to 'unclog the motor'"). Gaumont describes his use of pot belge during a seven-hour training ride of the Cofidis team in the mountains at Arcalis in 1997, where he easily outdistanced the team's climbers thanks to the drug. After that, he became dependent on the pot belge for training.


Can't unclog the motor in the "enhanced games."

Lots of conservatives who don't believe in human biodiversity though.

One of things that convinced me this came from the lab--that was actually doing gain of function research a few miles from the outbreak--was the science behind how contagious the virus was at the inception of the outbreak.  Viruses that jump from animals to humans have to go through various stages before they become deadly to humans.  This virus came out of the gate deadly, skipping the progression that happens in pretty much every other jump from animals to humans.  There is a lot of other evidence, but that was the strongest piece to me.
& in my opinion it was leaked on purpose

She got what she deserved. Liberal woke DEI retarded and brainwashed bitch. It's what you get from following radical left media: no clue about reality or how the world works..
They see every black or muslim as a "victim".

Lots of conservatives who don't believe in human biodiversity though.
There can be good arguments against it but currently I don't believe "black culture" explains everything wrt the problems with blacks. All mainstream conservatives are antiracists. Look at Coach. I believe blacks are genetically more impulsive with high time preference which may lead to violence. Are you antiracist? :D

Around blacks, never relax.

Skirting past drug tests in tested competitions is half the fun


Professional cycling is a grueling sport, but corrupt and full of hypocrites.
If Lance Armstrong was French, would he have been disqualified? I don't think so

look at the average speeds in the Tour de france:


Overall speed

Overall Speed of the Tour de France
The 2025 edition was the fastest Tour de France in history. Tadej Pogačar rode 3,302 km in 76h 00m 32s, thus realising an overall speed of 43.4 km/h or 27.0 mph.[17]

Every year we say 'it is the hardest Tour ever, the hardest thing we have ever done'. It is all so crazy but, honestly, I know that this year was something on another level.

— Tadej Pogacar, on Tour de France 2025[18]
The slowest Tour de France was the edition of 1919, when Firmin Lambot's average speed was 24.1 km/h.[19]

Recent overall speeds
Overall Speed
Year   Winners' Average Speed[20]
2016   39.616 km/h
2017   40.997 km/h
2018   40.210 km/h
2019   40.576 km/h
2020   39.872 km/h
2021   41.165 km/h
2022   42.031 km/h
2023   41.431 km/h
2024   41.818 km/h
2025   43.440 km/h



Highest average speed of all Tour de Frances by Lance Armstrong: 41.7 km/h or 25.9 mph in 2005.

This is the same in nearly all one day cycling tours or in multiple week cycling tours. They are now (way) faster than 10 or 20 years ago
All clean of course   ;D

Every study and paper written leaves open the possibility of lab leak, no matter how hard the study tries to tie it to animal/human transmission. They all slip a line or two in there about lab leak being a possibility. Some people are too stupid to understand what that means.
