Talk:Major Taylor

==Untitled==alor I have read his biography front to back In 2008 and I'm not sure what press, major never took substances, he was a very strict Muslim/christian and would not put anything in his body and there was no mention of it. the man with the knife is not a drug hallucination, he was be pushed to the rails of the velodrome by another rider and in the stands was a man with a knife so to avoid this he backpedaled his track bike and to outsmart and avoid "GBH" has he stated to burst back forward and beat hes far less equip cyclist Anglo sax male who dare try and harm him. this is putting shame to the fastest man ever to ride a bicycle. this is to make it seem like in a time where the bicycle was the fastest and most spectacular feature in the world and a Black man who refused to race in time he had to be with God, for he is the only true American track champion and I think he could have one the tour de France its mirorred that because the biggest lie in sports Lance, which is like come on y'all if you know anything about cycling you would know that it comes down to what you put in your body and, if you are peaking or coming into form and if your mental is right, lance knew that at all cost his program would protect him, cuz we had the best doping program and a lot of people made a lot of money off him winning and he brought the sport back for spectators, and every one is an ass hole, the man almost died then raced his ass off, there is nothing wrong with drugs or blood doping, it comes down to you domestics, form, and recovery, ect I think those thing are an advantage to a less capable rider, but that science actually is not correct because you would get sick and dizzy, what they were doing was using other people's blood that live at altitude and train in an organic way so that when blood is fused tho redblood cells in the biological process no that they need to integrate and with the system to keep the person alive so well that they literally biomimicosmosis, meaning they have that humans blood in them now in lances body. its like having someone else adopted over times through living in that high mountain or dark skin IE people who are outside in the sun getting tanned in the elements have more responsive red blood cells system to adapt when exposed to extreme pressure or unknown bodies. the who time they have really be take blood from many human beings to advance that's really why USDA has to test so often because you can only detect the midoconria and Xtra cromisoms for so long before they can no longer sustain them selfs as they were and they become the person they are in.

lebron James maintains his body because he works on his mind and spirit, soul, community, family, because he is basketball, he is a basically a god and a great role model father, parent,DR, Teacher, steward just like MAJOR MARSHALL TAYLOR, The best Proving in the most beautiful sport and the track sprint in 1989-1901 was 19 world champion with his own chain less bicycle which that why he died because of his design, he would not give it to his competitors so the killed him and, to this day they still do not under stand it or he's handle bars, the actually book is I'd say one of the most unreal racing and sporting and being great human and always having to just thinking literally light years ahead, Thank you all black parents, Mothers who are also individuals who in sum case put the life's on pause for its never know to raise children, love and teach, guild, care touch,. Fathers that are all and everywhere like the stars keeping watch and leading, watching, trying to be the quite that builds your mindful soul to measure your worth in how you treat and care for the ones you hold Close, all black people we are HERE WHOMEVER WORKS THE LAND TO FEED THE people and bring back the whole to the neighborhood in steward of that land and pays no rent and if you rent all you must do in take you lock off the door with hand tool and put it back on and the house is or anywhere is now yours because any property that is improved with manual labor that's not union and or contacted means that the house is not owned by nothing, its waiting to be Owen all you must do is enhance it with your hands no power tools and do not wear golves painting your house just to fix the chips is another fast way to ownership, see all tools are actually considered automated so in the process of building a building nobody actually builds it buy hand accecpt the painters, paint anything and its yours document the painted chip because most houses are still painted with lead to protect from the radiation from japan/Alaska/hawai

The "List of doping cases in cycling" contained a thin accusation -- that because Major Taylor spoke of experiencing hallucinations, he was probably taking nitroglycerine. That accusation has been removed, so the link to the section is no longer appropriate.

(==1896==

• Marshall Taylor of the USA was the American champion. He refused to continue a New York race, saying: "I cannot go on with safety, for there is a man chasing me around the ring with a knife in his hand." Nitroglycerine was used to stimulate the heart after cardiac attacks and was credited with improving riders' breathing, but they suffered hallucinations from the exhaustion and the drugs.)

Taylor was exhausted from riding for several hours during the six-day race at Madison Square Garden. He did complete this competition. On page 18 of his autobiography, Taylor describes being "sleepy, hungry, thirsty and fatigued, and begged them to allow me to dismount." KThistory (talk) 11:34, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

More appropriate might be a discussion of possible doping that pre-dated doping testing. Amanda bee (talk) 12:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Marshall Taylor → Major TaylorMajor Taylor – As the velodrome, boulevard, society and association commemorating him all use the name "Major Taylor", this appears to be his WP:COMMONNAME by which the article should be titled. But I'm not a cycling expert, nor an American, so I await the comments of other editors.

World record regressed?

The list of world records shows 1:19 for 1 mile in 1899, followed by 1:33 2/5 for the same distance in 1908. Both are notated as motor-paced. How could the later mark have been a world record? 2601:642:C201:210:34D2:3969:AD0F:8101 (talk) 22:11, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
