I really don't like whipping up drama or ****-stirring, but Oleg Tinkov has been tweeting some real poison for the last two days. He should not be confused for some kind of lovable rogue, he's a bollocks.

I saw bits and pieces of his conversation with vockler at the start and some his comments about money etc were true but hes going way to personal now. There was an interview during tdf with him where he he said prudahome wouldnt shake his hand, prudahome was asked after if he refused to shake hands and his reply was you need 2 people to shake hands and he hadnt seen tinkov that particular day. Hes getting more and more unlikable every race

That really doesn't matter to me at all, the racism is inexcusable and the personal abuse is bad enough.

Well Putin was called a woman in one and maybe he was just angry in the other. By the way the account is still unofficial so may not be him.

And on here posts are being thanked that call people Muppets!!!

Putin was not called a woman, Vaughters pointed out that Putin looks a bit like the Mona Lisa. Pointing out that someone has a similar face to a woman is not on the same planet as calling a black person a monkey. Anger does not permit a default to racism.

And I was not calling anyone a muppet (or sesame street puppet). I have nothing but respect for Brailsford, Indurain, Porte and Froome. It was a harmless joke that I would not in the least mind being the butt of myself.

Sorry but I will be preserving my anonymity, as is my right. I would say I most closely resemble Count von Count. Captain Havoc and Detones (and anyone else who has seen me) can counter this if they wish.

I actually can't believe you are defending Tinkov.
