    Olympics Doping Thread

    Re: Yeah, its crazy. The American fans/ "blogs" are all saying how amazing Lilly King is for taking down the big bad drug cheat by calling her out. Lilly King is officially my least favorite swimmer (not that I follow swimming), she showed no class with her very public show. Efimova had one...

    2016 TdF, Stage 12: Montpellier → Mont Ventoux (178km)

    I can't believe this. WIll Froome get penalized for running? I feel like he had no idea what to do.

    Most impressive tour debut 2015

    Jungels was very impressive, but I've never really considered him to be a GC type rider, more of a Tony Martin type. Great powerhouse and can climb occasionally.

    Purito seems like the logical favorite for this year!

    Re: 2015 Giro d'Italia, Stage 3: Rapallo – Sestri Levante 13 ***... Pozzo getting carried away in a blanket.

    Who will win 2015 Milan - San Remo?

    I'm thinking the time is ripe for Degenkolb this year. I don't know why, I'm just feeling it :eek:

    New site design: Post all feedback here

    I don't like that Forum isn't one of the main options. I want to just be able to click it instead of having to a hovering menu thing.

    The 2015 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    The Real Football Thread

    Nervy game so far Roma v Man City... Roma is playing much better than the start of the game. Barca v PSG turning out to be entertaining. Bayern hardly look like they are trying against CSK Moscow.

    Doping in XC skiing

    That doesn't seem that crazy (I mean it is, but not unheard of). Alsgaard was known to put in ridiculous amounts of hours >1200. At a certain point, the hours training doesn't really make a difference. The crazy volume could be due to addiction; training and putting in hours can become an...

    You are clean. What SHOULD you say in interviews?

    Its all really simple- just deflect the question and quote a politician. Example: Journalist: "You have just won stage 18 of the Giro by 5 minutes; did you do it clean?" Cyclist: "I want to say one thing to the [Tifosi]; I want you to listen to me and I'm going to say this again. I did not...

    Keep the winnings?

    This probably isn't going to go over well with most clinic goers, but I've come to the conclusion that giving someone else the race title is useless (at least in any year from 1990-2015) because there is a high chance that the rest of the podium was doping as well. Doping punishments should...
