Froome vs Everybody Else

Every single pro athlete in every discipline likely takes enhancers of some kind. They're only called dopers if they get caught above the WADA limits. Till then they are referred to as clean....

After reading Tyler Hamilton's book, when it comes to doping in the pro peleton I look at 4 factors.

 

1. Where they train in the off season. Canary Islands = MAJOR red flag

2. The doctors, nutritionists they work with. Has anyone linked to a specific doc been popped? If so that makes everyone working with that doctor suspect.

3. Team Management. Have the team management been involved in doping in the past?

4. Anyone remotely connected to Astana.

I simply assume that all elite pro roadies and many MTBers dope. For that reason I don't hate Froome any more than anyone else. Go Froomster - may your cocktail be better than the rest  :devil:  :clap:

Speaking of Astana.. I wonder what they / Vino have on the UCI that they haven't been booted yet.. if it's a case of only money changing hands or if there is something else.

Didn't know being a bully was a crime. 

I don't believe in miracles. 

Leinders and Ferrari are cut from the same cloth. 

Time will tell.

But will it?

 

I had this discussion with somebody a while back.

 

And he basically said that he will always believe that Froome is a doper (wont debate why), and that if he tests positive he will be proven right and come laugh at us (as if I am saying that Froome is clean in the first place...), but even if Froome is never busted he will never concede that Froome was clean.

 

So effectively he has made his mind up and only consider evidence that supports his opinion.

 

Thats the thing, how do you prove a negative?

Oh we are speaking g about Froome.. why I don't like him

 

1.. he looks ridiculous on his bike and is still going to cause one big accident because of his elbows

2... his wife is terrible at PR

3... he is becoming rather arrogant when saying things like.. he could win the TDF another five times..

4.. he has started whining a bit.

5. he looks like a harry Potter character.

Oh, flippen hell, I haven't posted for days and days but sometimes a post comes along that just cannot go unpunished. So I'm hereby officially taking a page from Juliaas Malema and launching a silent protest!

With all due respect, I think you've been listening to Brailsford too much.

I don't hate him, but he is probably the least graceful and stylish rider to win the Tour...he looks awful on a bike.

That's what I said.. and I got my knuckles wrapped.. selective punishment on here[emoji12]
