All year I heard rumors about that jack ass on drugs. I am excited he finally got caught. It would be great if the 100 or so people that knew about this on the circuit actually spoke up rather than just passing along the rumor.
I hate dopers.
Especially sprinters that dope.
I don't want to bash the soigneur too much. She ultimately comes out to be the only bright light on a team of creeps, at least with Frankie gone. But imagine if a Garmin or Columbia rider approached one of the support staff and asked 'where can I get testosterone?' Would the initial response have been 'I don't know, Mexico?' or a string of curses followed by a call to team management?
I'm pretty grossed-out by Papp's role in this. Were these photos taken prior to his testimony at the Landis hearing? If so then he is a REAL scumbag. He kind of reminds me of Kato Kalen!
This and other stories of this sort is why there needs to be a lifetime ban instituted for dopers. IMO, this doper can/will not be reformed.

If only it was this easy. You have to factor in so many other things. First, they haven't tested positive, so what are you going to do? It comes down to rumor, which you better have a good lawyer if your going to start making "blind" accusations. After this, maybe people will start coming forward though. One can hope...
I watched this guy drill it at a local circuit race, I mean a long solo break. Watching the power he was putting out on a short but steep climb blew me away. it seemed unreal.I guess it was. Was the vicodin just for fun ? the funny thing is, that when your a known doper you can always hope Ball will sign you when your current team dumps you, What do you do once ROCK has to fire you for doping ? BTW nice pictures dumbass!!!!!
I first heard the rumors in 2006. It made sense that he was on drugs the way he started winning.
But I want to point out that this is an interesting case because the guy had a tattoo business and what seemed like a normal life. He was pulled into the mythology of being a pro bike racer. I say this because his wins were in small races (mostly) and I can't imagine that he was making that much money with his bike salary and prize split compared to his tattoo work. Maybe he thought he was going to go to europe soon and make a big salary. who knows?
substitute your favorite doper here
