    Danish fairytales

    The thing about Vingo is, he could be as dumb a rider as Evenepol and still pick up a classics title or four. Easily. Instead, doing stage races.

    Danish fairytales

    It’s not that simple. You probably have never been in a facility that packages supplements. The scale of production makes it very unlikely some banned substance got into another run. It would have to be, like pounds of the stuff. Here we go again with a sanctioned rider let back into the...

    Team Jumbo-Visma

    For those not around during the Verbruggen corruption festival. Landis heard from the news he tested positive. Much later, we found out the lab re-tested his sample until they got a positive. Which, seems… Unusual. Contador basically kept riding while the UCI dragged their feet so long that...

    Team Jumbo-Visma

    All correct from recollection. It’s really not very dramatic. The collector calls the athlete far ahead of the sample, and arranges a time. Weird the federation is back to busting second tier riders to show they are doing something. Kuss is particularly suspicious. Incredible grand tour...

    State of the forum 2024

    We all know what happened to Frankie Andreu. I’m sure the pressure to keep quiet is… a lot. Besides, athletes are at the absolute bottom in terms of influence. A couple of super-alien days brought me back!

    State of Peloton 2023

    As someone that was on here entertained by the obvious corruption, and the stupid excuses, arguing most of USA cycling was a doping project was VERY unpopular. The UCI had their own Usain Bolt. (In every sense.) ASO got more viewers. Verbruggen was very clearly accepting bribes. Bigger...

    State of Peloton 2023

    It’s been a minute since my last post. The last couple of days have been crazy suspicious. It was easy to see the fraud with the pre-Armstrong->Froome era. In 2023, not so much. Podiums and racers are mostly consistent, the whole season! Old former GC guys getting their stage wins. No...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Are you going to dope your kid if they showed any kind of talent in cycling? Because that's what you are condoning. And it's the only way if you permit wholesale cheating. Red lights at intersections are for suckers. He's not a special cheater. 42 year old grand tour winners happen ALL...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Here's a shortcut for you all to get started. Google the following: 'Matt Decannio' 'Chris Horner' Pay attention to the quotes. You need both sets. Your first couple of results should be a NY Times story, (Thank you Juliet Mancur for all of your work on the story.) then a link to a post...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    If you take the time to dig through whatever might still be available on the Internet about Matt DeCanio, you might find a claim that Horner was a point of contact for EPO in the U.S. Of course, USA cycling personally attacked DeCannio because, history has proven, US Postal 's (USA Cycling...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    I might have changed my screen name to Matt DeCanio and asked him if he still had any "supply." There might have been another time I changed my screen name to rider 10 and posted. "Thanks for taking the heat for me. " He didn't miss deleting those. Nicest dealer, ever.

    Did EPO use really kill some riders?

    More nonsense. A multiple junior world champion, destroyer of junior elite pelotons goes on to dominate the pro peloton in most races before EPO. That is normal. Given how many loose lips there are in cycling, by now, a credible claim would have surfaced. Please stop your nonsense

    Cyclo-Cross Takes Over the World!

    If anything, it very much should be the case a very dominant CX rider should be successful on the road. In general, that’s what is happening. Success can mean being an excellent domestique. So, don’t over generalize.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    You claim there are some alternative facts that defy 100 years of humans racing bicycles. Please explain the "how" an average elite cyclists with no meaningful results at the end of his contract goes from zero to grand tour hero, and ONLY a grand tour hero. Yes, we know Contador was doping...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Because like so many dopers before him, he somehow stumbles onto a Vuelta podium with no indication prior he had a huge engine. Follow this up with absurd stories about somehow a disease made him stronger? A legitimate grand tour winner can 'just show up' to most races, one day or many days...
