For me the problem with Cookson is that by 2013 even a casual cycling fan now knew that under McQuaid/Verbruggen the UCI had been corrupt for years but as soon as Cookson was elected (in the UK at least) we were back to "the cleanest peloton ever" "more enlightened age" mantra with fewer and...

After the 2011 Tour de France I remember reading and hearing that speeds were down and how this was reassuring re possible doping so I thought I would look to see how the riders from that Tour have fared in the next two Tour's. Cadel Evans 2011 1st 2012 7th @15'49" 2013...

Ok so Tiernan-Locke was training with Sky for parts of 2012, at least from Aug/Sept when his form was still good (Tour of Britain, World Champs) then in 2013 his form falls off a cliff and the story goes he must have been doping in 2012 with Endura but gave up when he went to SKY. So why...

He's not the 100th Tour De France Champion, he's the Champion of the 100th Tour De France :)

Wisdom teeth:)(you're welcome)

But what I don't understand is the same people tying themselves in knots defending other SKY riders are saying JTL was good at Endura = doping, sucked at SKY = clean so it's Endura's problem. Are there other reasons why he could have under- performed at SKY? I know JTL suffered from...

Could JTL's poor 2013 not be explained by the reason he himself gave where he said SKY's heavy training workload didn't suit him and left him feeling run down and too tired when it came time to race. SKY's coach Shaun Stephens said this in Aug 2013 "It's just difficult that we can't string...

How long before a SKY rider writes a book called If I Doped

If you cannot explain his amazing transformation then why should I. Froome and his defenders are the ones who need to show how this has been achieved clean when history shows us that leaps in performance of this kind only mean one thing.

How would you explain Froome's drastic improvement? Why did marginal gains take 18 months to kick in? If SKY knew he always had potential why let his contract run down? How do you reconcile Froome's 2012...
