- Similarities end with their salaries
- For you, MrPerfectMauMau, never a doubt o contradiction even when teen ->Tadej Pogacar: "“It's no secret that I've made a lot of money from cycling in the last few years. When I was younger, I never imagined I would be so lucky; I honestly don't feel the most comfortable with this money. I know how people who struggle and who need help feel. My family always taught me to share my happiness and to help people in need. These values are close to me.”
- This must have been a list of all the different ways in which the word 'disorder' is used in cycling. The first two uses listed have nothing to do with eating disorders at all. Number 3 is the mention of the use 'disorder' as part of the term 'eating disorders'.
- When talking about Tadej, your analyses are always distorted and clearly intended to be derogatory. He moved to Monaco early in his career, when his salary was typical for cyclists, and there was no reason to feel embarrassed. The shame about earning so much began to increase much later, as his earnings increased exponentially compared to his peers.
- That's not how an expert in eating DISORDERS classified it to cyclists.
Definitions:
1 A lack of order or regular arrangement; confusion.
2 A breach of civic order or peace; a public disturbance.
3 An ailment that affects the function of mind or body.
It's obviously not 2, and obviously not 1. The only argument you could make is 3, and it would have to be an "ailment" first. The only way an athlete could really have an "ailment" would be if it were affecting their athletic performance (which does happen), but gives immediate feedback that something is wrong.
So, the benefit of weight loss in an athletic context is that, unlike outside that context, it's pretty much self-correcting.
- Hmmm, is that why he decided to “pay taxes” in Monaco? I would say he is at least in two minds about the money side so I think you’re confusing the origin of the embarrassment.
- this is really just for SCOTTG, and before i go on i’ll clarify that my point in mentioning this is just the inconsistent standard some cycling fans apply when it comes to doping, seeing some dopers as evil incarnate who deserve to be impaled (the really yucky way, you know?) and THEN drawn and quartered, while others. like eddy and sean kelley. are treated as beloved heroes with nary a mention of their darker pasts. i don’t really hate anyone for cheating via chemicals. i wish it didn’t happen. i think it’s really unfortunate. it definitely makes it hard, for me at least, to choose heroes, but i don’t hate anyone for it. i dislike lance in particular because he’s just a horrible human being who was more then willing to destroy lives to keep his image clean, but i don’t hate him for doping. and i don’t hate dopers for lying about having doped. because if you’re gonna dope then duh, you’re OBVIOUSLY going to lie about it, or what’s the point?
anyway, here goes… Eddy tested positive THREE TIMES: in 1969 during the giro (2 positive tests); in 1973 after lombardia; and in 1977 after la fleche wallone. he ALWAYS denied it, saying he didn’t need drugs to win. in 2007 he was one of a handful of riders asked to stay away from the world’s because of his doping record.
- Yes, on two of his three positives he was caught using a type of amphetamine, the third positive was for a appetite inhibitor, which was probably why Merckx was using amphetamines. These are just the three times he was caught, I'm sure there many other things he used, again, probably to try and lose weight because he was overweight most of his career.
- not sure what you mean by “blind speculation”? care to clarify?
- you don’t read very carefully and you make wild, absurd assumptions. but have a swell day.
