good for him, though I'm not 100% convinced from that photo that he is actually smoking anything at all.
It's not him sending a message out, it's some dodgy photographer. No-one would know he's sneaking a crafty cig/spliff/candy ciggy if they hadn't invaded his privacy
Fair point!
For crying out loud! If he wants to sit in a bar, in his own time and have a quiet fag, he is entirely within his rights to do so. It's not as if he's turned up promoting B&H all of a sudden. The fact that he is being papped in this way, and that jumped up little englanders feel it necessary to work themselves into a righteous frenzy as a result, is indicative of the mess we're in as a society and just says more about him that he's managed to achieve what he has under the circumstances. So there. When is the bloody raffle anyway?
Just look at this irresponsible nitwit. No helmet!

And...?
Except some xenophobia on this thread I don't see where the problem is?
where's the xenophobia?
might help him relax and therefore prepare better for a race? A cheeky fag on your jollies is no issue, as already said, how some premiership footballers behave week in week out in for kids to aspire to is far worse IMO.

I must have missed that 🙄
Although, there might be some after that stupid comment. 😉
Well thats me told then 😕 Note to self do not share your thoughts and opinion on STW 😆

Anquetil won 5 tour de frances, he was a smoker and drinker!

Brakes' post. I find it rather offensive, but then I bet plenty of you find it very funny.
won't somebody please think of the children.

Begs the question what were all the other riders on.

Got it covered 😉
Tim Henman smoked throughout his career.
Unfortunately not for me! I'll go weeks/months/years without smoking but one cheeky cigarette has quite often lead to weeks/months of smoking (quite happily) until I'm unable to breath properly and have to stop again 🙂It is possible to enjoy a puff in the same way one can enjoy a drink; is it not?

smoking is disgusting unless you're cool, then it's cool, or if you're a sexy French woman, then it's sexy.
Wiggo isn't a woman, or French, but he is cool.

Seriously, you find [b]that[/b] offensive ?
If thats actually the case, then you either don't understand what he wrote, Or you really are too delicate for this world.

What do you find offensive about it?
Juan it was possibly a bit crass or not that funny. However it was not xenophobic unless of course liking sexy French women who smoke is racist.
CPT is dissing football on an unrelated thread SHOCKER....its the politics of envy I tell thee. He hates to see common oiks with no breeding having a megabucks lifestyle to which he can only dream of from his bedsit window.
Of course I am in no way shape or form defending Terry but Flashy change the record eh?

Beside being non respectful to French women by suggesting they all smoke? Go figure.
If he said that then he said they were all sexy 😕
Juan I agree with you in general re this point on here but not this thread or that post
not wiggo is cool because he's not french then ? 😕
Only the sexy ones smoke, Juan. 😉
Sorry to say that you're crying wolf a little here, old chap.
Yep, far better to be a racist, with no respect for the referee, I'd say. That's the sort of hero we want...
Thats the sort of comparison Jeremy Vine would make 🙄
he didn't suggest they all smoked
Beside being non respectful to French women by suggesting they all smoke? Go figure.
Bloody hell
It does seem a bit of a shame, given what we knw about the issues with smoking.
I would like to think it was a hoax, it really does not send out the right signals to young Olympians.
I don't think anyone on his forum would happily give their children a ciggy, not good.
But wiggo is belgian - are they not cool or sexy ? 🙁
Juan! le coq sportif...
(I'm guessing that you can't claim that doesn't translate well...)
Beside being non respectful to French women by suggesting they all smoke? Go figure.
Well one of my early options was that "you don't understand what he wrote"
At least we now know that's the case. 🙄

I was explaining to my kids the importance of looking after your body in Mc D's over a coke.
If he wants to sit in a bar, in his own time and have a quiet fag, he is entirely within his rights to do so
no he isnt its illegal, he can sit outside the bar like the rest of us!
At least we now know that's the case.
Juan's English is probably better than most of our French, but sorry juan you've got this wrapped round your bollocks a bit.
[b][i][u]j[/u][/i][/b]uan you've got this wrapped round your bollocks a bit.
Better, but just one last thing to edit....!
😉
Shut it flashy 🙂
Flashy change the record eh?
What, was he up the modz' arse picking mustangs off for them again? Or was he shitting off about football? It's one or the other these days.
juan, seriously dude, stop looking for shit that hasn't been thrown. It's not that they all smoke, it's that they're so bloody hairy that bugs me.
Juan's English is probably better than most of our French..
Exactly, Which is why I offered "not understanding what he wrote" as a possible explanation.
(même si mon français n'est pas si mal)
if finding French women sexy is xenophobic then I'm a Belgian Waffle
I heard that Juan isn't really French anyway. He just pretends as he thinks along with his smoking habit it makes him appear more sexy.
He's a bit chippy, maybe he's a belgian in disguise... 😈
Wasn't Lance fond of a La De da.

He wasn't sending any signals to young Olympians until he got papped - leave the guy alone, Jesus!
And juan - either you've totally misunderstood or you are ludicrously over sensitive.
Yeah, you're right. How disappointing that he doesn't do what you think he should do and does as he wants instead.
A grip, get one.
