I guess sitting here and thinking about it now and never really taking a side to this, you guys can't tell me the past two races haven't been fawking awesome.... Imagine the battles the past two races without Stewart there... They would suck. It has been nice seeing Canard up there and I hope he builds on it, but having Stewart up there has been awesome. Anybody who actually wants him not racing is an idiot, like him or not. Racing is a show... It is for entertainment. Why would you want less baffles me. Nobody (here) knows what is really going on and where this will go, but I am thinking big picture here.
Last time I checked we all loved motorcycle racing and the men and women that do it better than anyone! if you think aderal or epo or test or tren or hgh makes you faster on a motorcycle then to be honest you are so far out of touch with reality you are self authenticating your own failure to understand sports nutrition and what these compounds can and can't do for the human body.
Anywho... Let's just relax and see what comes out of this before jumping to conclusions and lynching bubba like some of you seem to want to do
Which is basically how I felt about his ’11 arrest. Stupid? Yes. Wrong? Eh.
Since I don’t know what his intentions were, I’ll withhold judgment, or at least try. I’ll see how I feel watching him in TN in a week. Who knows, I could find myself subconsciously rooting for Trey to beat him instead of the other way around.
(For the record, I’ve said exactly zero words in the past as far as even suggesting PED usage on the part of Ryan Villopoto, thank ya very much.)

and why is blow worse than known PEDs like amphetamines (adderall)?
Assuming it was Adderall, for it not to be declared, Stewart would have to be either (a) completely oblivious to any banned substances list or (b) he intentionally took the drug full well knowing it would improve his performance and chose to hide it.
I was diagnosed with narcolepsy about two years ago and did some research on the use of PEDS/nootopics in sport. There was an article I believe by Charles Dao that indicated nootropic's would actually have somewhat of a negative impact during racing as they essentially stop you from making knee jerk decisions. This year Stewarts riding, especially in the outdoors seems super controlled and methodical rather than how he used to ride back in the Kawasaki days which makes me believe Adderall/Modafinil could be the drug he tested positive for.
JS isn't a one-man operation.
I'm with you Jeffro.
I've only ever heard or seen shitty movie jokes about it! What's your best story?

What is true is that this board unfortunately has expanded its population with a lot of the malicious people whose joy is in puffing themselves up at someone else's expense. It's too often a contest of trying to be clever and snarky rather than actually have something to say worth thinking about whether the reader agrees or disagrees. The quality of the discussion about any topic here reflects the quality of the participants. As someone who enjoys a good argument offered with thought and respect, this place is losing its shine.
Maybe that's the evolution of a board; it has the right critical mass of good posters, and then it becomes more popular and others with less to offer find it. But I find it harder and harder to enjoy talking moto here.
But there still are consequences.
I have actually refrained from commenting in that other long ass thread aside form posting stupid pictures.
My thoughts would lean more towards it being something that should have been declared for a TUE and wasn't which really sucks because now we have all this shit.
There are so many competing yet intertwined interests between the two series that this has the potential to be a cluster#$%^ of the most epic proportions. If there were ever a situation for due process, this is it.
i dont think what is happening with James is right after all rules are rules.......but I also dont think that hes a blood doping cheater.....if it was HGH, Steroids or any of that blood doping stuff, then you have a problem......
I would like to know who else was tested. can we get a list?
and why in Washington and Colorado...hmmm what do they have in common?
Matthes laid it out in another thread. Go read his response if you arent happy with mine.
Stop fucking crying about it. RC got preferential treatment and thats well known. Not exactly sure how thats dragging someones name through the mud.
And if thats dragging RCs name through the mud, JS7 must be buried 6 feet deep from the shit he gets from the clowns on this board.
Remember when Lechien got into trouble years ago? Emig? Carmicheal? Same shit, different day. Money will be the final deciding factor in this, and again, while I could care less, I find that more disgusting than the fact James may or may not be guilty of something. Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise, and another day will start, the drudgery of my life will resume. I can assure you of that. The same may not be said for James. What he has accomplished, as the first African American in this current time period, may forever be tarnished, simply because of his race. That's even sadder, simply because there are some people out there who will think that way. I used to loathe James, but I find myself rooting for him now, as the elder statesman, in the tail end of his career. All these years into it, and still capable of winning, when it comes together for him. Add a dose of humble, and it makes him a lot more likeable, at least for me.
Now, having said all that, who wants me to resume my role of resident asshole, and fuckin' Grammar Nazi, for Jeff Alessi? SURELY, that's got to be better than 19 threads about PEDGate, and the incessant bickering over some stupid shit.
WHO'S WITH ME?
I wasn't cool with people accusing RV of cheating without proof either, regardless of the rider, it's not right to accuse someone without any evidence to back it up. There isn't any reason to have an argument about this, it's not that hard for people to show some respect to the top riders of the sport.
Stewie and I have a love / hate relationship. Sometimes he pisses me off ( as a fan ) watching him make dumb mistakes.....leaving me thinking..." What....the....Hell!!??!! " But MOST of the time.....watching that dude ride / race.....puts a big huge smile on my face because the dude just has sooo much damn talent on a friggin' bike! He makes a lot of these races really interesting.
Hard to explain......but Moto is my sport. James is one of the top dogs in " My sport ".......and he along with all the other top dogs deserve the benefit of doubt until proven otherwise in my eyes. It's almost as if I feel like the outside world dipped into " My sport "......and single handedly singled out a certain rider.......and I for some reason..... pissed me off! James is one of OUR dudes......I don't like seeing the outside world pick on OUR dudes.
The outside world which doesn't understand "our sport " already criticizes it enough. We don't need to be put through the ringer on this stuff.
Hope that makes sense.
Post a reply to: I'm staying neutral on this thing.....who's with me?
