Fire Phil Liggett: The Wilcockson Equilibrium

firephilliggett:

[quoting John Wilcockson]

“Things came to a head in April 1994, when Armstrong was strong enough to win Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but was beaten by a runaway rider from the suspect Italian team, Gewiss.”

…Armstrong did finish second in that race behind Evgeni Berzin, but the chase group of four contained one of Berzin’s teammates. But no, tactics were probably irrelevant. It was all doping…

Watched this race yesterday. Berzin attacks with 6km left and no one reacts. It was, quite possibly, the least-doped looking win in the history of Gewiss.

“AND YOU CAN TELL GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT THAT MY LAST WORDS WERE… ‘I’M ON DRUGS!’” (probably the photo came from here, and before that, originally, from here, probably an h/t due to @inrng as well. Am I the only one who cites things anymore?)

I was going to do another man-ass gif (sighted on La Redoute—go back and check for yourself if you’re so curious), but this was by far my favorite crowd interaction of this year’s Liege. My favorite of any race in a while, really.

“…for potential sponsors, race fixing is a tell-tale sign of a corrupt sport. That sign is rendered even more ominous not by fans’ cries of shock and outrage, but by a nostalgic chorus of ‘it’s always been that way!’ If the dope hasn’t scared them off, a tolerant or perceived tolerant attitude towards race fixing should.”

“Kolobnev put himself in the position to be bought off, he earned that. Nobody else in that field could. It’s not as if Vino bought the entire field and made the race a farce.”
