Profiles in Balls: Karsten Kroon

[Jason Spaceman]

From the article:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COPENHAGEN, Jul 1 (CP) - Where all ProTour teams appeared to have
accepted the obligation of signing an anti-doping declaration ahead of
the Tour de France, Danish formation Team CSC now launched a
counter-attack.

CSC riders have announced to refuse signing the document, according to
several Dutch media. Karsten Kroon seems to be spearheading the
initiative: "This has no legal value, any law student would laugh at
this.

"I don't think any rider signed this with pleasure, but they've all
been pressurized. I'll probably get into trouble for this, that's
likely."

Karsten Kroon is the only rider who hasn't disappointed me. All other
riders who have signed the agreement are fools.

I really like Karsten Kroon. A lot. I hope he gets a big classic win
soon.

Why? Fools are the ones who believe the document has _any_ value
whatsoever.
Everybody will sign. Everybody (non-law students included) will laught
at it.
The show must go on.

RBR irony alive and well.
A guy refusing to sign a doping waiver is a described as having "big
balls". Those actually taking testosterone as a training aid would
obviously be unable to sign on that basis.

Tell me John - would you have considered your career in bicycle racing to be
more "complete" if you'd have won a lot?
