I'm afraid this doesn't make me a man of substance, since I'm confident that Mr. Adams won't take us up on our offer. He has had many occasions in the past to race at his convenience and at little expense. Why would he now act any differently? It must be evident to everyone that the Dwayne Adams Race Fund is meant not as a pragmatic proposal but largely as a means of humiliating its ostensible beneficiary. I am a little ashamed, I confess, to be joining this jeering squad. However, a secondary purpose of the Fund is to give the skeptics among us an opportunity to declare ourselves. So, yes, I am a disbeliever.<br /><br />Although I think the scores claimed by Mr. Adams are well within the realm of the possible, even for a man of his age and bodybuilder's physique, I don't believe that he himself is capable of them. His failure to pull a sub-7 in public and his often bizarre responses to sincere queries lead me to this conclusion. When Xeno wanted to know why Mr. Adams has been reporting a vastly increased training volume over the past few years without any improvement in his trial scores, he mumbled something about improving his aerobic base and left it at that. He has never explained why he doesn't take part in erg races, although he is perfectly willing to post his scores at the top of every ranking. He has repeatedly promised photographs and videos without delivering any. His only races take place on water, in a double with a 60-year-old of indeterminate talent for a partner, thereby conveniently diluting his performance.<br /><br />In sum, Mr. Adams has taken a great deal of effort to report fabulous training volumes and trial scores, making himself one of the most prominent members of the erging community, yet he has done absolutely nothing to allow the public to measure his performance. The testimony of his associates and a verification code from a machine tucked away in his garage count for nothing. If I were a judge, I would convict Mr. Adams of fraud. But I am only a citizen, so I merely accuse. Mr. Adams, I believe you are a fraud. I worry that your fraudulent actions bring our humble sport into disrepute. If you wish to answer my charge, please take part in any public erg competition sponsored by Concept2, and show us a performance within 5% or even 10% of your claimed scores. Alterrnatively, please retire from the sport and make no further claims as to your prowess.<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />What a great post!!<br /><br />Of course the Dwayne Adams fan club will ignore it because it contains information that they have no answer too.<br />They would rather carry on playing there silly game of kiss chase.<br /><br />They continue to make themselves look more foolish day after day.<br /><br />Stupefaction, a great first post and very well written. It will be looked over of course but that is the sort of people you have to deal with when it comes to proving wrong doings. Porkchop as a cheap suit lawyer you will no doubt of heard of the fraise “guilty by association” or “harboring a criminal” all meant tongue in check of course before you stop ambulance chasing a serve legal papers to me.<br /><br />Mark, I think I could manage a 1609m row at 1.42 pace if that is what you want, could also manage that at a very comfy 24spm too if you would like that also, still cant make Evesham though.<br /><br />As a foot note, as of 22.00 GMT today mpukita 45 posts today and Chad Williams 13 posts today and you say it is me with OCD?<br />

Chad,<br /><br />You are developing a very unhealthy obsession with my wardrobe and its cost. Are you going to start inquiring about my shoes or underwear next? <br /><br />Tell me, do you wear a long black raincoat by any chance? Anything hidden under it? Have you had trouble with the law before? Have you been sued? Recently? Lost the case, I assume? I guess you blame your lawyer, the lawyer on the other side, all lawyers. . . . <br /><br />You seem to have so much displaced rage. I have to wonder why. Difficult childhood, perhaps? Unlucky in love? Failure to achieve fondly-held hopes? Flunked out of college? Cut from crew in school? Maybe a little time in juvie? What profound disappointment(s) led to this sad state of affairs?<br /><br />"Old Billy" (as the 19th century mountain men called him) said it best, I think: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."<br /><br />Wake up, young man -- you are making an ass of yourself. Go do something socially productive. You'll eventually feel better about yourself.<br /><br /><br /><br />

That was very good Porkchop <br /><br />I was right though...............you are more interested in tearing me of a strip than answering the many questions asked hundreds of times on this forum about Dwayne Adams "times" and the proof of!!<br /><br />I am very happy with myself, I don’t have to make myself out to be something I am not, I don't need people to worship me from afar and hang of me like a charm bracelet. You and Mark are like Dwayne’s little lap dogs. How silly are you to going to look when this is over, that is one of the things that keeps me going.<br /><br />For you information I am well respected in my community and I do a lot for it. I get this respect for fighting in what I believe in, I stick to the cause and always win.<br /><br />

Mark, I said I will row a 1609m at r24 at 1.42 pace for you if that is what you want, so I will do so. I will post a picture on this forum for you to see for yourself. I will do it over the weekend, When I say something I will do it, not like some others on here.<br /><br /><br /><br />
