It's not new for cricketers to dope. "On 16 October 2006 Akhtar was suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board, along with Mohammed Asif after they tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance nandrolone." Although the Pakistanis do have a terrible reputation for integrity, I don't...

Re: Re: Half of those guys are known dopers the other half suspected dopers. Just because you didn't dope on a given day doesn't mean you don't dope. The whole peleton is doped. The majority of them cheated to get where they are and they shouldn't be excused because they took it easy at the...

Re: Re: Ricco was only caught in 2011 because he told his non-team doctor that he had given himself a dodgy transfusion. He has no obligation to consult third-party doctors and I doubt it'd cause much of a stir on the BP if he was for some crazy reason blood tested that day.

Cyclists have a long history of feigning illness to cover up for botched blood-transfusions, to get out of races where they may be tested or as an excuse for poor form brought on by a lack of PEDs. For such an illness to happen to a top contender right after the rest day is highly suspicious...

Re: When will this lie that only endurance athletes benefit from EPO/oxygen-vector doping end?

I heard he ate a steak that was butchered and prepared in Spain. Apparently they're claiming the butcher mixed up his salt for blow while seasoning.

Astana are a complete joke. At least the other teams pretend to be clean.

Oh Contador, If only English was as easy as climbing mountains. I have to say he's improved though.

Haha Clarke. Would've rather had Chaves in the Jersey.

Wow loads of vitriol for OGE. Did you guys watch the stage? Saxo-Tinkoff prevented the break from going far. Clarke was one of the most active riders on the day. When it gets to the last 20 km over flat and you have 4 riders + your sprinter what are you supposed to do? Gerrans is not on form...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-04-20/a ... on/6405652 This whole incident is a tragedy for anyone hoping to see clean competition promoted in Aussie sports. ASADA had one chance, aided by other law enforcement agencies, to reveal the widespread doping that we know exists, and prove that they...

Agree with the criticism a few other posters have raised. when viewing the site on a large screen, I want to be able to see as much information as possible. Even on my mobile, I would use the desktop version of the site and zoom in to/tap on the part I wanted to read. Fonts are too big, too...

Apparently one of the coaches was arrested, must be some serious stuff if they got him for trafficking.

Does anyone know of any English streams for the tour available in Aus without these two commentators? None of the steephill ones work for me and I just can not stand them. They rarely talk about the actual cycling, and when they do they get it wrong. Makes me look like a genius to my family...

Well we got some pretty conclusive stuff from the USADA investigation. Obviously this is different, but one can always hope. Even if it doesn't reach any conclusions on doping-related matters, it could provide some good leads for future investigations (like the federal postal case). Who knows...
