    Sagan Clean?

    Re: Of what? A motor? You might presume it as evidence of doping but it is not definitely not evidence of a motor. In fact, it's the contrary. Power from a motor driving the bottom bracket spindle would not show in a rider's power data. The power meter's torque is measured between the...

    Mom, Dad, Doping

    I understand and accept that the Clinic views Wiggins with disdain, but I don't see his parentage is relevant to his achievements, in terms of being pushy. He may have inherited physical attributes from Gary, although the scientists claim these come from your mother, but he is highly unlikely to...

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Re: Re: Entering premises without a warrant is certainly not as easy as that. Police can only enter premises without a warrant if a serious or dangerous incident has taken place. Situations in which the police can enter premises without a warrant include when they want to: Deal with a...

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Re: Re: You may be right about the Kimmage family but I don't know them, except by reputation and what is reported. However, I do prefer to trust my instincts about people I know rather than the opinions and prejudices of people I don't.

    Re: I think anyone who knows Adrian well enough to have that conversation would also know that his daughter would have nothing to do with PEDs or anything else likely to impact negatively on her health

    Fancy Bears hack ADAMS system

    Re: The international "community" (not sure that exists - anybody got the web address?) did not go too far in punishing Russia, in fact it did not go far enough. The fact that other country's problems are not identified or dealt with is no argument for not taking the issue seriously and...

    Brits don't dope?

    Re: Re: Lol. I'm pretty sure the rest of the top BMX and MTB riders would either be highly amused or deeply offended that those few performances might be considered as domination of their sport by Brits!

    Brits don't dope?

    Re: Re: Sorry, took a while to find the links again: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-37129276 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37099066 The beeb doesn't quote its sources so it would be interesting to hear from people in their own countries as to what payments may or may not be...

    Brits don't dope?

    Re: Re: Well it's BBC so I've no doubt it's regarded as pure propaganda, but I'm sure a bit more digging would reveal the original source. Don't seem to be able to paste the links here at the moment but I will when next on a desktop.

    Dimension Data

    Re: Re: They admit to not filming him up every climb, so the climbs they don't film him he may well be hanging onto cars. PR fluff. Missing the point entirely. The object of the filming is not to prove that he is not hanging onto cars. The object is to prevent people coming up with stupid...

    Dimension Data

    Re: Re: Missing the point entirely. The object of the filming is not to prove that he is not hanging onto cars. The object is to prevent people coming up with stupid fabricated stories. Nobody knows (except them) which climbs are filmed and which are not, so making up a story is then risky...
