Absolute hilarious joke for Froome to try to claim he was ever anywhere near 17% body fat as a pro cyclist. I gained 30 pounds over the last 3 years after I quit bike racing and went to night school - this brought me up to 18% body fat. I'm now back down to 15%, having lost 15 pounds of fat over...

The reason people use French riders as a benchmark is because after Festina the French passed relatively strict anti-doping regulations which many believe led to the phenomenon of French riders being less competitive in aggregate for years. Your point is of course correct though, this doesn't...

I agree with you that his pedigree makes him a proven talent so he certainly deserves what looks like a TDF win as much as anyone in this sport. However, I have to think he's at least plugged in a blood bag the night before each of the past three mountain stages because he's never looked...

FYI Stages is not a bad PM. I have been using PowerTap for about 8 years and just got a Stages on an Ultegra 6800 crank arm for one of my road bikes a month ago. It is solid and reads consistently though not quite as accurate or as responsive as PowerTap. Mainly, I find the Stages to read a...

I don't think the Government cares about cycling at all. They get hammered by Congress constantly about wasteful spending and if there is a big public case where someone has admittedly committed a giant fraud against them, they simply aren't going to let it slide.

US Government didn't have a contract with UCI or ASO. They're suing Armstrong for breach of contract.

You nailed it.

The US Government doesn't really care what you or anyone thinks. All they care about is that Lance has admittedly violated the terms of the contract he had with them by doping, and therefore they will legally take their money back in court. It really is that simple.

No I definitely don't and never will. I got way more than my fill of women's racing years ago when I raced a lot and had a Cat 2 girlfriend - we'd go to a ton of races together and I'd watch her races which were generally after mine. I fortunately did not see the really dirty aggressive stuff...

Yes indeed. Hmmm, nice peaceful ride on my normal training routes with no one around, or pay a known doper money and drive an hour to go risk a crash with 1,000 squirrels? Wow, tough choice! :)

That's awful. Very dirty tactics, negative racing. Unsportsmanlike at best, dangerous at worst.
