Daideron Posted July 11, 2013 Share Did anyone esle notice Contadors chunky belly in the TT yesterday? At first I thought I was seeing things, but several of the side shots showed he is carrying a boep! I had to look twice but he definately had some extra weight there. Must be clean these days, the Clenbutorol seems a distant memory as does his ability against the clock. Think they are related?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Steer Posted July 11, 2013 Share I'm with you dracs, I think Berto has barely been hanging on. Kreuzinger looks like he is holding back.No question, he doesn't look like the Contador of a few years ago... can only wonder why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp Posted July 11, 2013 Share No question, he doesn't look like the Contador of a few years ago... can only wonder why We all sit and wonder why,and the only conclusion people can make is that "it was the dope"I think we need to grow up a little and realise that these guys (dope or not) are also only but human.To achieve that level and keep the body at such dangerously low levels will take the likes of Smigel to make that happen. These guys are getting old, they go out of competition for a while and return less than impressive.We will have to make peace with the fact that every now and again there will be another showstopper or two to excite us, and whilst we are at it, we can throw the doping slap at them. Seems to me that the cycling fan of the modern era is more interested in scandals and doping than cycling itself.If they are that cyclical, why even watch stuff like the grand tours at all ?

It's down to how he now eats far less "Spanish beef"... Andrew Steer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA-Q001 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Actually, the belly is not caused by being fat or overweight. It is caused by the method of breathing, relaxing your abdomens and using you diaphragm and your ribs to suck as much air into your lungs as possible. Remember, their upper bodies are supported by their arms, so no need to use the core as much.

I was not gonna mention it (because somebody will try and ridicule what is being said)But you are correct, that and the fact that these guys have a massive lung capacity.

Go dawg! Vive le tour I have already had someone on twitter spit "facts out" regarding Froome's doping after I posted a picture last night of him on his TT bike and making reference to his lung capacity.Pretty much what JAQ-1001 and myself were talking about right now.

Like I said earlier, each to his own opinion...It would be incredibly naive of anyone watching the Tour currently to not do so with some scepticism? Doping is engrained in the sport and it's history and is not going to go away overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doping is engrained in the sport and it's history and is not going to go away overnight. It does not even cross my mind....I enjoy the racing and the spectacle.Makes for far more enjoyable viewing I can assure you SwissVan, rouxtjie and fabes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
