We should all read Nicole Cooke’s retirement speech, her perspective on dopers, professional cycling, and gender equity in sports.
[teaser: i Lance (and all the other purported dopers) a thief? According to Nicole Cooke and non-doping cyclists--YES.]

PS: I ran 2.25 today on the treadmill, heartrate much lower. But it was 7 degrees this am.
After reading that, it’s no wonder she had trouble – what a pain in the butt. Enjoy the retirement. Bye-bye. She is what they call a bleeding deacon.
She is what they call some one who fights for paychecks due her by contract.
Right, and she is not what they call a teammate. Unfortunately that’s an important part of being on a team.
Did any of the women on the team get paid? Should the GB UCI road commission chair advocate women should not have basic minimum wages, that they do not deserve a minimum wage men in the same sport do? (I am not even suggesting they get paid the same)
Just a friendly difference of opinion based on experience.
I was talking about the doping stuff and the fact that she is a nag. I’ve worked with people like that – they’re horrible people to have around.
I don’t have an opinion on the pay because I don’t know the facts behind what she wants and I don’t trust that she’s being completely honest about what she’s looking for. I do agree with your comment though I do not believe that’s what she’s talking about – too many code words in there.
Agreed. Nag is such a gender-specific pejorative term though.
.
Yeah, but we’ve got ours too… Insults are equal opportunity. I can come up for a few for Lance but let’s keep this PG, eh?
Maybe later?
We could start out with dead beat, and go on from there.
Indeed.
