Power increase I estimate approximately 19% increase in power. Drag proportional to speed V squared Power W proportional to drag Therefore power proportional to speed squared.

Context Seems context is crucial. I am basically ignorant on BP details. Given the BP details given to the assessing panel are coded (so as to not identify athlete), I assume that there is no attached reference to that cyclist's concurrent activities? LA's HCT/R from 2009 TdF appear to...

Log in glitch Hi I have problems (recent issue only) with logging in: Generally when I access CN website there is a "welcome johnsiviour" message. However when I access the Forums, I am no longer logged in. I then log in and I am taken back to the CN website. I then access Forums...

Too bloody right! I add that Lance's "$75M day" also never truly existed ... as without his fraudulent activities he would not have had the opportunity to obtain said sponsorship in the first place.

First offence??? Also given the overwhelming evidence: LA arguing 3rd offence let alone 2nd or for that matter 1st offence borders on ludicrous. Strikes me as a pretty lame/poor arguement. Hence even a true mea culpa with full disclosure would seem fortunate to garner only an eight year ban.

From above article: "The UCI has sanctioned the lifetime ban yet, on a first offence, Armstrong could argue that he should have received a two-year ban — starting from the moment of confession. He could therefore challenge the UCI at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Given all he knows about...

....Oprah's potential follow up: What had changed in the peloton, as you appear to believe that you could win clean in 2009 2010?

I was demonstrating (well trying) that credibility has several facets and is not an immutable construct and yes, even Lance has some (limited and variable) credibility.

Destroyed his credibility??? So Frankie has no credibility??? If so then nothing Lance has said, will ever say has any credibility! Yes I lie, I think very few humans never lie. This does not mean we give Frankie no credit. Frankie may have been splitting hairs/ been economical with the...

“His admission that he doped throughout his career is a small step in the right direction. But if he is sincere in his desire to correct his past mistakes, he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities,” Travis Tygart TT may be right, but I doubt it. Even if Lance...

I understand HV rejecting "a conflict of interest"...but respectfully disagree. However for HV to reject outright the perception of a conflict of interest is laughable! As others have indicated "HV has no clue". Why on Earth did HV not acknowledge the situation with something like...

Agreed. Softly Softly catchee monkey. "Closer" technique comes to mind. Given Oprah opens with "emotion" based questions... "How did you feel when you were first quizzed about taking PEDS?" ....More truth, emotional/factual about LA, may be revealed, than by any hard hitting direct...

Important? Maybe not. Interesting/informative? Quite likely. Forum postings have been referenced by JV, used by CN for stories and seemingly referred to by LA. IMO likely that Dave has at least a general awareness of Clinic content. Even minute corners have information of...

No way will LA admit anything more than he currently has placed on the record (IMO). He may, (very unlikely) indicate that on occasion YB, MM or other provided him with some herbal remedy or other, but of course this was not doping....then trot out all the standard lines: 900+ tests, always did...

No doubt he trained hard but that is as far as you should reasonably quantify his effort. So to be an elite athlete you must abandon reasonable attitudes/actions??? I disagree. There are numerous elite athletes that do not fit your paradigm. As for throwing people under the bus, I contend...
