Big mouth, huge legs, and nothing in between.
Seriously I love this guy!

No Cav, how do you reeelly feel?

“I hope he becomes someone bitch in prison” ??
maybe dumm .. but nowhere near as dumm as doping !!!

that in a couple if years IrishPeloton doesn’t need to publish an article of old Cav quotes that need to be “eaten”

Looking at the HIV transmission rates in any number of prisons, as well as various exposes, and you know the conventional wisdom is right, and the practice is not rare. Anal rape is not actually part of the prison sentence, and should not be treated as if it were.

However, I think the comments need to be taken in the context of an ever-escalating “doping denial” cascade. See the “Ricco: a doper’s life in quotes” section. Or the compilation of past doper denials. Cyclist A denies, in a quiet sort of way. Cyclist A gets caught. Cyclist B, C, D, E and F deny in a slightly more strident way, while saying that they don’t want to judge others. Cyclist B gets caught. Cyclist C, D, E and F talk some trash about B, and retroactively about A, by way of denying any involvement, while stridently denying any use themselves. As people who have talked trash about doping get caught, they catch the flak from their own trash talk, but that also resets the trash-talk baseline higher.

Think about it. If someone who makes statements like the one Cav made gets caught—and this is emphatically NOT to say anything about Cav, I’m talking about the state of the discourse—what then? Do commenting riders have to say they’d like to help hold him down while he’s being sodomized? Do they have to suggest the death penalty?

for bringing prison rape to the Cafe. Really, man, we appreciate you.

Aldag was doped to the gills when he rode, now he feels he has the right to come out and say how angry it makes him.

Maybe he should remember why he did it.

Not excusing Ricco, not forever condemning Aldag or others… but seriously, it’s like asking members of the Mafia to comment on how much it pisses them off when they see people getting ripped off or killed.

I think of the three, Cav is the most honest…

Aldag – bla blah blah doper is a problem [ignore what happened in my day]
Kelly – Omerta, what Omerta? Lets ignore the elephant. [Course, I would never have doped]
Of the three, Cav is the only one to have the right to some righteous anger – to Cav, this guy (and people like him) is destroying his way of life and sport. A bit more anger, a bit less hypocracy. I wouldnt have phrased it like Cav, but at least he isnt pulling a Schlecklet

This phrase is thrown around so casually now it’s hardly anything more than a show of displeasure towards someone and a hope that their actions land them in prison finally.

Deeply unfortunate and offensive comments by Cavendish.

don’t mean to yell at anyone or jump down anyone’s throat, sorry for tone folks
