    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Re: Re: The dramatic change in style is why I say that. I guess it's just semantics really.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    I'm somewhat of a casual cycling fan, but Geraint Thomas is the most egregious doper I have seen in close to a decade. It's just absurd. I'm kinda curious as to their doping methods.

    Three Russian females athletes banned.

    Here is another link laying out the insane performances coming out of Russia over the last month or so. There is no way that many women could be doping without it being institutionalized. I doubt there is a clean Russian woman from 400m-10k...

    Fuglsang punished

    You are a representative of the company you work for. Outside of pointing out criminal behavior which he clearly isn't, why should any employee be legally protected when they publicly bash their employer to the media? I don't see how even the most diehard anti-Bruyneel posters can...

    Should You Wear Team Kits?

    In my opinion that is the best looking National Champion jersey in the peleton. I think it should be an exception to the rule due to sheer awesomeness, especially since everyone knows that the Schlecks win it every year so mistaken identity is unlikely. As an American I cringed at the ghastly...

    G.I. JOEEEEEE! [Tsunami of USADA cases against cyclists]

    I'm not a racer and never have been. I live in the US and the TDF is the only cycling available to me. All I want is to watch great athletes dueling it out in the mountains of France every July. It would be nice to have more televised here but sadly that hasn't happened. No offense but I could...

    Best excuse or denial for doping!

    IIRC he refused to be tested before the event because he was convinced that drawing blood would hurt his performance. He wanted the only test to be after the fight.

    G.I. JOEEEEEE! [Tsunami of USADA cases against cyclists]

    I'm a somewhat casual fan who reads CN a few times a week. What I don't understand is fans like you who are hellbent on driving every single sponsor out of the sport and killing it by demanding the exposure of every doper in history. You can keep sitting sitting around and having circle jerks...

    Three Grand Tour in one year -- is it possible?

    Maybe he could try for a "Tiger Slam." Tour, Vuelta, Giro. All 3 in the same year would be nearly impossible though.

    Valverde Banned - now can someone DNA test bag 'AC' please?

    Why the CERA thing? I doubt any of Bruyneel's riders have touched any form of EPO in at 5 years, maybe longer. Transfusions are effective and easier to hide, only the f$%#ing retards used CERA, anyone with a brain saw that trap coming a mile away.

    Presumption Of Innocence & Floyd's Rights

    He like everyone else to finish Top 5 or even Top 10 in the tour from Indurain on and probably before that has doped. I don't give a crap, take his tours away and the 2nd place guy who gets the title doped just as much. I want to watch mountain showdowns every July and enjoy the top riders...

    Lance sure blows as a team mate.

    Are you contending that team in the lead of Team GC isn't good enough to be in the race and is only there because of Lance's name? LULZ Shack has other riders with very good history at the tour. He is just a bonus.

    The Official Poll: Should Contador Have Waited For Schleck's Mechanical??

    It was AC's move, not Menchov or Sanchez, they were just following AC. The acceleration of AC happened after he saw that AS was having trouble and was nearly stopped in the middle of the road. He saw the problem and then attacked, claiming otherwise is a complete lie, not even a...

    Riding injured - why do we?

    Hurt and injured are two very different things. I would guess that almost every soccer, american football, aussie football or rugby player regularly plays hurt almost to the point of injured. For the record I consider injured to be the point that performance suffers too much to continue...
