Antibiotic resistant viruses rife in the peloton.

"The Belgian champion is using antibiotics to get rid of a cold, but
he has been having one of his best weekends of the season."
If one bothers to search Cyclingshite.com you'll find a number of
similar stories in which top riders take antibiotics for colds. What
bunch of eejits - don't they know it's a virus? Is "antibiotic" a
euphemism? Do antibiotics have some great performance enhancing
properties? Is the cold just a ruse to get a TUE? All they need is
some Lemsip and TLC from their mammies... [that last one just applies
to Lance].

The peloton is rife with euphemisms.

This has been noted a couple of times before in rbr:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.racing/browse_frm/thread/793bfad027bb137c/3c08067d8e7e18cf?hl=en c08067d8e7e18cf
It's not clear if they mean something other than a cold,
something other than antibiotics, or they are just eedjits.

I don't think that it's a function of doctors not knowing better, I
think it's a function of doctors giving patients antibiotics to shut
them up and get them out of their offices, knowing full well that the
cold will go away all in good time.

Which results in people dying from the various hostile strains of
staph and pneumonia. If you don't believe in evolution, and you get
the new pneumonia, we'll give you the old penicillin. Cattle, hogs,
and chickens are fed sub-clinical doses of
antibiotics as well. That's why there is salmonella, staph, E. coli
that just don't quit.
Colds, treated aggressively, will go away in 5 - 8 days. When left
alone, it takes about a week.

Literal and figurative euphemisms.

super-motivated euphemisms

Cuntmouths,
Ever heard of a secondary bacterial infection?
An untreated viral "cold" in an immunocompromised
endurance athlete in the midst of a race season
will frequently morph into a very treatable secondary
bacterial infection in the sinuses and/or lungs.
A little Zithro and you shave a week off
your recovery. No harm no foul. This is their job
and they don't want to call in sick. GAFC.
Your Welcome.

Retard,
Why are you trolling an immune system thread when
there is so much action going on in the political
thread? That's totally stupid.
