Proof that cycling should be banned

Look what happened to Robert Millar Scotlands best professional cyclist :eek: All those of a nervous disposition don't click this link. First of all they start shaving their legs, and then it's a slippery slope from there. I need a beer to recover!

Brother Victor, while cycling may be the most financially efficient means of transport, I think you'll find that having wimmins driving you around is by far the most energy efficient.

I don't think so, they haven't done anything to offend us. Yet.

I think it's the journalists they're calling scumbags, not the Brotherhood. Well at least that better be the case!

No, there have been plenty of cases where athletes have been banned for having excessively high levels of testosterone. The best one was when an American runner claimed as his defence that it was his birthday the day before the test and he'd had sex with his wife 5 times that night, which elevated his testosterone levels. I have a feeling he got off, but I might be wrong.
