Does anyone know just how much of a risk is involved in doping in the middle of a tour? Would it be a case of once the testers have done the business in the morning you are free to hook a bag of blood to your arm with no worry of being caught in flagrante ? Would there be a higher risk of being...

Will there be enough riders left to make up a team;)

In the video interview it certainly sounded like it. I wish I could remember where I saw it.

I may have the dates wrong on this and I can't remember where I saw the interview, but didn't Contador have a cold/flu between the Dauphine and Tour, for which he took antibiotics. If he withdrew blood for future use during this period then surely any blood tested during the tour would show...

As I understand it the plasticisers were found in a sample given before the clen was found making it the day before the rest day. Blood transfusing then makes no sense, but saline would. I wonder too if you would muck around with blood volume and thickness if you had had a stroke. Seems a bit...

Well I'm out of my corner and venturing another theory. Saline drip the night before rest day hence the plasticisers, clenbuterol from meat. Is this one possible. Personally I prefer sabotage theory..it's more exciting

I know I'm clutching at straws, but is sabotage completely out of the question.

Does this mean that transfusing is impossible to prove. If so, isn't it highly unfair to publish results especially from a test that is not normally used. Or have I got that last bit wrong, Have read so much over the last couple of days my head is whirling with it and a lot of it too technical...

Do we know if level has spiked ? Have all blood samples from the tour been analysed ? Apologies for my ignorance.

Hi, I remember reading sometime, somewhere on the net, that Contador takes daily medication for epilepsy resulting from his brain haemorrhage. If these tablets are in strips with soft plastic bubbles is it possible that this could account for high levels of plasticisers in his body. No idea, but...

Hi newbie here, love watching it, but don't cycle myself. I have a couple of questions one of you may be kind enough to answer. Firstly: if Schleck made an error,as most seem to suppose, how come he gets away with saying he doesn't know what happened and it's just a mechanical? Is it possible...
