Too Late
From the “tell us something we don’t know” file. Frankie Andreau admits he was a doper. Eat shit Frankie, why speak up now that you are retired? If he had any integrity he would have said something while he was still a rider. This helps no one and changes nothing. He said he came clean to help the young riders to realize they don’t have to dope to have a good career. “Yeah kids don’t be like me and have a profitable and succesful career”. Douche. If you are going to come clean do it while you are at the top of your game and have something to lose like Jerome Chiotti. I really don’t care that he or anyone else dopes. I don’t blame the athletes. The pressure to perform at the highest level is incredible and I understand the temptation. The problem lies with the governing bodies of sport and the sponsors. WADA, UCI, IOC, they are all soft on doping. The penalties are a joke. They should give riders amnesty who admit to doping, those who get caught get a life time ban and have to repay every pro contract they ever had to a fund to use to pay for future testing and research.
This week is gonna be a week of Metal. Tomorrow night I am going to see Unearth and on Friday the Gigantour. I saw Unearth a few years back and yeah they bring the rock. Friday I am super stoked for. I get to see Lamb of God again and you all know how much they rule. Right? Arch Enemy is on the bill as well, if they show up it will be a first for me. They have been the opener for at least 3 shows in the past that I have been to and have yet to show up. Mistress Nikki (Hail!) is seeing the tour in Vegas tonight. I can’t wait to hear the report.
In addition to my steady diet of metal I have been downloading a lot of Dub from emusic. I am pretty green to the genre so I have been sticking with the standards like Lee “Scratch” Perry and King Tubby. It is pretty cool stuff, but I am open to suggestions for others. Praise Jah.
