Looks like a shot across the bow for Tinkof, Contador and company. This is starting to look like Sky have friends in high places :mad:

You mean like Froome wanting to win multiple Tour De France in a row? If that's not being too greedy then I don't know what else is, Froome will eventually trip the wire.

If the past history of the sport is anything to go by, you can be absolutely certain that the UCI has all the details of team SKY. What is the cost of a brand new Sysmex machine in 2014? :rolleyes: I have no idea about that. The UCI interested in nailing SKY? :D...

Does anyone believe that Froome could bag 5-7 Tours in a row like Indurain- Lance did, without tripping the wire? I hope that is not the case, but as things are now is just not possible to give most of this clowns the benefit of the doubt. At least not until things really really change...

It would've been strange-funny if Garmin would have signed him up, though there's no telling what would have happened to JTL career then. I remember a post from JV where he stated that any DS worth his salt can spot a doped-up donkey turned into race horse from a mile away :rolleyes...

The UCI claims they have been testing for Clanbuterol: "Since the Tour of Beijing was introduced in 2011 by the UCI-owned Global Cycling Promotion, some have whispered that the UCI was not testing for clenbuterol during that race. On Friday, UCI officials said that is not the case. “All...

Hmmm, The Dawg vs dope dog :cool:

Sounds a bit over the top for a bunch of guys just riding bikes. BUT I think it would be a good implementation for when the law decides to pay visits to team buses, no more bus drivers hiding dope in their underwear :D

Is JV dissing Belkin or the fans? He sure as hell is not making any new friends, sometimes he should just STFU.

Ha, can anybody imagine some sort of telemetry data in real time? showing power numbers and what not, I must be really bored tonight and it's past my bed time, I keep coming up with stupid ideas in my head.

Well they don't have to put them on a scale in public like in boxing. It just kind of grinds my gears when people have to speculate endlessly about a riders weight when it's something so simple to measure and record. Fat chance of something like that ever being implemented though...... *...

A riders weight is something that has been on my mind from time to time, would it have any 'scientific' value-merit to just weigh the top 10 finishers after every stage. Weigh the damn bike and then weigh the damn racer, I mean, how hard could that be?

Could it be that back then, when they hired Leinders, Brailsford wasn't that really anti-doping to begin with? Didn't the Zero Tolerance BS came after Leinders and the reasoned decision?

What's with this secret pro BS anyway? For all we know it's a group of people just trolling, pulling the strings and having a good laugh at the fans expense. And the peloton not being vocal against Froome, that's called not throwing stones in glass houses, plain and simple. It's...

You could also say that if it hadn't been for the estate, government intervention Festina and Operacion Puerto would have not happened, Contador's clanbuterol case almost didn't make it to light, and lets not even talk about the Armstrong ordeal . If it was for the UCI and ASO they would sweep...
