@Wiggo & @Benotti69 I will stop discussing whether pro cycling is substantially cleaner now than four years or more ago, because: 1) it's a Rominger thread and not a thread regarding this particular topic (current cleanliness compared to darker periods) 2) it's a fact, evidenced by...

@Wiggo: "cleaner" doesn't mean "clean", so still need for dope doctors for all those who want to go to the limit. With regard to the recent years, look at the various scientific studies that look at blood passport data and also W/kg figures. Cycling is substantially cleaner, that's a fact. But...

No one can beat LA, maybe just a handful of mean dictators. :D Can't wait for the **** to hit the fan. Let's hope the clean out continues and the momentum for a change for the better remains. Although, how many times have we dreamed about a new clean area? But then again, according to...

We could start a club of cycling fans of fallen idols :D indeed and again, very sad. as mentioned, used to be a rather humble and modest guy as rider back then.

Hayfever is not a lie. He suffered tremendously from hayfever. He didn't lie re doping, he just always said he never tested positive, which is true, but obviously just legally, because it's obvious that this means "yes, I doped but was never caught". And of course, he is part of the omertà crew...

I can't see any news in this post. It's been an open secret that he was a Ferrari client for years. Even he confirmed it. They even called him Ketchup Tony. But maybe I don't comprehend what you wanna say with this. There's no doubt, since he is in the background, he has become a disgusting...

There's no point admitting for any 90s rider. It's obvious for everybody with a brain what went on in those years. Hard to imagine what they could achieve now if a Bugno, Rominger, Indurain, Chiappucci, Furlan, Argentin or any of those confess now. Makes no sense. Particularly, we have seen...

very nice. whose hand is that one on Miguel's shoulder? Johan? :D edit: just saw it now: Lance of course

Re-edition of "Every Second Counts" absolutely brilliant! although my favourites so far are Pat the Clown and Dope is Back source: twitter

I hope not, but you might be right. Probably what just appears to be obvious that he sent his riders for item #3 (see below) to Madrid... But then again, not everybody did the hematocrit massaging / doping part with Fuentes. Wish we could really have first hand information on Cecchini.

Cecchini was one of the most interesting revelations in Tyler's book "The Secret Race". Interestingly, Tyler writes that Luigi was always against doping and advised not to dope or not to dope too much. He also said that with specific and targeted training, one can achieve almost as much as...

I have. What's the problem? Let's hope Lance has a good liquidity management. One thing not to forget: If he is continuing the same way and misusing livestrong for his selfish purposes (to some extent), there's also more than $100m cash sitting around... no problem for his criminal...

I see your point and it's also something that I thought about. Unfortunately, like also in real life often the case, it is almost impossible to make something that is 100% fair in 100% of the cases. In this case, I think the bigger noble cause justifies the risk of a low sample of...
