Lucky Luke. Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Maybe we will see some degree of change following the current meltdown.
Garfield2010 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Is it maybe, but just maybe not a possibility that SKY have employed some new training and nutrition methods ? Definately............ It was quite obvious when the "sprinter" Boassenhagen (spelling) was working at the front in the Alpes and half of the favouries (climbers) fell off that something wasnt right.................. And Froome-Dog unfortunately Deja-vu'ed Floyd Landis of a few years back................
Wyatt Earp Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 And Froome-Dog unfortunately Deja-vu'ed Floyd Landis of a few years back................ Not with you here ?If you are referring to the "I am performing like a king overnight, thanks to whiskey" scenario then I suggest you watch tour re-runs.
Mellow Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Maybe we will see some degree of change following the current meltdown. To be honest, after seeing the responses from Contador and Sanchez I'am convinced they will continue as previous. No positive - no dope

No I am referring to that that tour when Landis was basically stronger than Armstrong but he was the domestique and not the leader..... Wyatt Earp 1
Garfield2010 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 To be honest, after seeing the responses from Contador and Sanchez I'am convinced they will continue as previous. No positive - no dope Do they know any other way? Sad to say but when everyone stops doping then there will be even more incentive to dope as you will win the TDF!!! As it stands now at least the playing field is pretty much level if your team can afford a good docter...........

JGR Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I guess so................ But then again Lance struggled to compete with the top guys while he was doping so what does that tell us?Well i think that is what made him a awesome athlete. He competed against the top guys from a different sporting code. Struggle? I was challenging for top spot at 41 years old ... he doesnt have years (currently when compared to pro triathletes) of trithlon training and competing behind him
fandacious Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 To be honest, after seeing the responses from Contador and Sanchez I'am convinced they will continue as previous. No positive - no dope what a joke. Just for those stupid responses they should be banned from cycling ever again

Jaco-fiets Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 what a joke. Just for those stupid responses they should be banned from cycling ever again The only way to actually catch someone doping is to get a positive test. How else? You say that if there are allegations against athletes they should be banned straight away?
Bonus Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Interesting to read Fignon's book in which he raises concerns about the validity of at least one of LeMond's wins, claiming he was using "illegal" equipment. Wasn't he refering to the TT handlebars that GL used in '89 though? Resulted in LF losing by 8 seconds . . . .Was a cracking race, but very frustrating. GL basically did naff all for 21 days except sit on other peoples wheels, then won the TT on the last day. The organisers vowed never to have a TT final stage ever again.
andydude Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 The only way to actually catch someone doping is to get a positive test. How else? You say that if there are allegations against athletes they should be banned straight away? You mean the same tests that they used which couldn't catch maybe 10% of those who doped? Testing should be one of the factors, they've added biological passports, but more needs to be done. Not sure what, though.
'Dale Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Next is when we find out what Sky have been putting in their black motorbikes. Could be a while though. No cancer shield but the cashflow is strong with this one. Hmmm....

Get Mike Ashenden to run the bio passport independently of the UCI and give him LA's reclaimed winnings since 1995 as an annual budget. Then we will see riders **** big brown grapefruits in their bicycle pant
Lucky Luke. Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Also sack Phil the Shill Liggett and get Greg Lemond in to replace him. Greg and Phil both have chronic foot-in-mouth disease, but at least Greg doesn't floss his gnashers with LA's pubes.
