Hore set for hefty ban
26 Nov 2012
New Zealand hooker Andrew Hore has been cited for an off-the-ball incident which subsequently hospitalised Wales lock Bradley Davies.
Hore hit Davies off the ball during the initial stages of last Saturday’s Test in Cardiff. The incident was missed by matchday officials, but Hore has now been cited and looks likely to receive a lengthy suspension.
The time and date of the hearing, before the IRB’s appointed independent judicial officer, have yet to be fixed.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expects the hooker to be sidelined for some time. Hansen did not say as much, but has already called for a replacement ahead of the coming Test against England.
Dane Coles is expected to start at Twickenham.

@ufo-24489: I manage some projects / cases in the civil service.
Willie le Roux is a very talented player with a creative touch. We need more players like him, but in the age of specialisation I don’t think his skills are much desired by our current Bok coaching staff.
He would be a strong contender for my Bok team, though.

Why don’t you, like your drugged-out hero Lance and the extremely stupid ‘Bakkies’ come totally clean and out yourselves as, at best , supporters and demanders of the sick, twisted, unacceptable notion of NEO-RACISM?

Of course I know a few.
And if ANY of them heard you saying that today, in 2013, FFS, you wont know your ears from you elbows.
You actually quite stupid and behind the times. Similar to our every own extraball here.
Do you also have three ballas.

Will the totally exposed and discredited ‘doogy-**** ‘ and ‘Cunther’ ever realise that the more they write the more they come across as being totally naked about matters truly S.African?
Do they even realise that naked is ‘KAALGAT” and you cannot get more ‘KAALGAT’ than ‘KAALGAT’ in the local vernacular(hair removers, notwithstanding)?
Please accept that in the emerging rampantly developing S.A. you and all your cohorts do not have a clue what is really happening.
Just read and learn as E.T. helps you in this S.A. jungle.

Let me NOT deny you the Armstrong story but be aware this is not his honessty as he has non it it merely about poor Lance and the ‘image’ and ‘legacy’ that never truly existed.
The Feds. are going to join a whistle-blower suit(led by Landis) against him despite what Wall Street calls his wall of layers.British media and over-eager Texan sponsors too will initiate suits as well as Betsy and Frankie Andreu and a host of persons he insulted and lied about for 10 years to protect himself the one and only Lance the Prance.
Lance Armstrong confessed to Oprah Winfrey that he started using performance-enhancing drugs to gain an edge in cycling in the mid-1990s, before he was diagnosed with cancer, a person familiar with the interview told USA TODAY Sports.
Armstrong and his representatives also have had discussions with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency about meeting soon over several days for a “full debrief,” when Armstrong would be expected to “answer every question, give over records, telephone calls, test results, everything,” the source said.
It is not certain if Armstrong will agree to the full debriefing, but he is aware it would be a prerequisite to any potential reduction of his lifetime ban from sanctioned competitions, the source told USA TODAY Sports.
The person requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case and because the Winfrey interview details are supposed to remain confidential until it airs Thursday night. Armstrong had intended to make a general confession to Winfrey but avoid getting into great detail during the interview, which was held Monday in Armstrong’s hometown of Austin.
Winfrey went on Twitter to say the interview lasted more than 21/2 hours and Armstrong “came READY!” She will appear today on CBS This Morning to promote the interview, which will be shown on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
It is the public’s reaction to Armstrong’s apology that is critical to the cyclist, who was not only stripped of his seven Tour de France titles but was dropped by his sponsors in October after USADA released more than 1,000 pages of evidence against him. Armstrong had said over the weekend that he looked forward to a candid conversation with Winfrey.
Armstrong’s admission that he started doping in the mid-1990s is consistent with USADA’s evidence. In one statement, former Armstrong teammate George Hincapie said he and Armstrong started using the blood booster EPO around 1995 or ’96 because they felt they otherwise could not compete. Another cyclist, Stephen Swart, said in his statement that he knew his teammates on the 1995 Tour de France team were using EPO, including Armstrong.
The source told USA TODAY Sports that the Armstrong camp also has had discussions with federal authorities about naming others who were involved in doping, a step that could qualify as the substantial assistance that cycling’s governing bodies would require before considering a reduction of Armstrong’s penalties.
According to the source, one stumbling block for Armstrong could be the International Cycling Union, which the source says remains opposed to “truth and reconciliation,” meaning the possibility of reducing Armstrong’s ban to anything less than eight years.
Before talking to the iconic talk-show host Winfrey on Monday, Armstrong issued an emotional apology to the staff at Livestrong, the charity he founded to support cancer survivors.
Armstrong, who was diagnosed with advanced cancer in 1996 and made a remarkable recovery, stepped down from the foundation’s board in October after USADA’s case file spelled out in detail how and when he used performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions to boost his performance.
The evidence also showed Armstrong going to extraordinary efforts to enforce a code of silence among cyclists, attacking anyone who implicated him.
A confession comes with legal risks for the cyclist. Justice Department attorneys have recommended the government join a federal whistleblower suit filed by Armstrong’s former teammate, Floyd Landis, a federal law enforcement official briefed on the matter but not authorized to discuss it publicly told USA TODAY Sports.
The suit alleges Armstrong’s doping defrauded the government and violated his contract with the U.S. Postal Service, which sponsored his cycling team for around $30 million.
Armstrong, 41, has sought to reconcile with Landis to no avail.

Very sad to hear that.Basically all good loving supporters were duped by the Lance Armstrong story especially regarding his struggle to beat cancer.Most of us were taken in by his return to cycling after the cancer struggle.Sad indeed.

In total ignorance and extreme desperation ‘doggy-****’ and her/his/its best arse-sucker, ‘Cunther’, delusionally dare to think I do not understand the real role Cosatu(and their delinquent affiliates”) play in the scheme of things S.African.
I have regularly said on these pages that until the workers take total charge of the own demands for rights as the most fully-flegded owners of all of the country, they will not progress to the extent they need to.
The tri-partite, alliance group Cosatu has never ever fooled me, just look where Cyril Ramo is today? Does he ever now represents worker rights? Has he really ever? Or does he represent the Black, middle-class class elite?
The role of Cosatu is always that of a BRAKE. They must seem to be taking workers forward but always coming to the rescue of its alliance ‘brother’ the ANC(in economic strive situations). who form the govt. of the day.
Until workers take control of the trade union administrations by taking it out of the hands of the black middle class, their legitimate struggles will always be compromised by the role of the Cosatus.
That is the role of Cosatu in the tri-partite alliance. The workers are getting to understand that and just last week in the W.Cape I heard and further read about those very very calls and demands being made.
The utter stupidity of the pale abounds in the country. They have never been the working-class and have no idea how workers think about matters that only affect black workers.
Sometime forward I WILL put that slave wage into total perspective.
Buy all your wine now for the next grape harvest will be rotten(not good).
