    Drugs in rugby

    Yep. And the WRU are patting themselves on the back that the testing is working...and ignoring possible problems elsewhere.

    Any clinic members ever doped?

    I'm allergic to some trees around here, so sometimes take a cetirizine (anti-histamine) to prevent coughing/shortness of breath. I've never formally raced, but also taken it before some 'challenging' rides - it seems to open my lungs out a lot. I have hip problems so ride on paracetamol 90% of...

    Cav: "The Vuelta has become stupid"

    Is it more about length? Since 2012, I've heard a lot of people saying that the (shorter) women's races are actually better entertainment. More attacks, more breakaways, more chasing. If, for example, 20km was chopped off a race, what would the result be? Or is the length relied upon to exhaust...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Chris Froome ‏@chrisfroome Knocked sideways into a barrier & stone wall today. Further scans in the morning but start unlikely as I can’t walk without crutches #LV2015 Knocked by what or whom, I wonder? (I'd ignore what the BBC write nowadays - the standards are plummeting and they're more...

    Sounds like Froome's Vuelta is over: Chris Froome ‏@chrisfroome Knocked sideways into a barrier & stone wall today. Further scans in the morning but start unlikely as I can’t walk without crutches #LV2015 Wonder who was alongside him?

    Nibali : i'm a symbol of a clean sport

    Re: Re: Do you know what was wrong with his bike? A stone (or Froome's word was 'asphalt') in the caliper which was preventing the wheel from turning. Have you ever had anything stuck on your rim, caliper, or brake pad? A rubbing caliper? If anything is interfering in how the wheel turns...

    Nibali : i'm a symbol of a clean sport

    Re: As I pointed out on the other thread: If anyone's even wondering if Nibali knows that Froome was having a mechanical, it's clear they haven't ridden their bike recently, or ever ridden in a group. That kind of thing you can hear clearly from several yards away. IIRC, in the interview I...
