It's been a busy week...
3 drugs scandals in the Tour, 8 drugs scandals on Planet Paul Giovanni.
And the general feeling in myself, is that the journalist puritans, who like myself, use all kinds of performance enhancing drugs to enable them to do their shit eating jobs, should shut the fuck up with their moral crusade against drugs in sport or else become hardcore christians and be done with it...
Yes boss, I can take chemical puritanism from monks who eat sackclothes and grow chickens, but not journos and cycling hangers on, who spend more hours in bars and in the cubicle talking to charlie than your average tour rider does riding up the mountains...
I mean, imagine the chaos if artists, musicians and writers and JOURNALISTS were banned from creating for 2 years if they were caught taking drugs??
Nothing would get done!!! No books, no music, no fucking art!!! And the newspapers would be like colouring books....
What I'm driving at, is that I find it completely absurd that your right to do an inspirational job - a job that provides passion and excitement for millions - can be taken away from you for taking onboard things that make you do it better....
Furthermore, I'm completely sick and tired of all this two faced moralising and idiotic posturing by dullards who can barely even write their own fucking copy to a half decent standard, let alone cycle up a mountain at 25kph...
I therefore feel it's high time us honest journalists started standing up in solidarity with all sportsmen who have tested positive and I therefore do solemly declare...
That I Paul Giovanni 3rd AKA Futureproof Pious am a 'Man in Black' (1)
I happily admit I love nothing more than to take performance enhacing drugs, using a strictly supervised program, designed to further inspire and improve my creations...
I completely refuse to accept that this is wrong in anyway (because by doing so i would invalidate almost my entire collected archive of others music and writing)
I also steadfastly refuse to make myself available for anykind of in or out of competition tests and anyone who wants to moralise about this can go talk to Jesus...
OK????
1: UCI goes after the "Men in Black"
The UCI has targeted "six or seven" top riders who are suspected of using doping products, by subjecting them to extra unannounced doping controls. Some of these riders have already produced "non-negative" results, according to Anne Gripper, director of the UCI's anti-doping program. "We have picked out six or seven riders who are considered high-risk cases because of their suspect behaviour and subsequent good performances in the Tour de France," she told the press agency Belga. Some of these riders "have already had three or four unannounced doping controls," although the UCI only requires one per rider per year.
Gripper said that "We have information that they train in strange places." The controllers refer to the riders as the "Men in Black", because they wear neutral clothing on their training rides, rather than their team kit, which helps them avoid attention by the UCI controllers.
"Some of the results may well be announced before the start of the Tour de France," Gripper said. "Several abnormal results have already come in. We are busy with those results and not all of them are negative," she said, "but it will take time, because we have to respect the process, the analysis of the B samples, before we can make any announcements."
