Just an idea, but is it possible that the Bilharzia, and the treatment renders Froome's biopassport almost worthless? After all,red blood cell count and HgB are affected, right? Could he transfuse and microdose with impunity? Could Thomas's missing spleen also affect his biopassport readings...

Something I would really like to see is a statistical analysis of how long both Team Sky, and each of their individual riders spends on the front of the bunch during stages races. I'm personally bored hearing about how the average race speed has (apparently) dropped so doping is finished, but...

No and not necessarily. The report mentions it was 2 degrees and raining. This could have suited the Dutch. But I also read that Rabo's dominance really put the wind up some other teams who were worried they might have found something new. I think this was in From Lance to Landis.

Stefan van Dijk (36, ex-BGC, Lotto) "No.. No! I've always thought of my future, I have deliberately not risked. " The same Stefan van Dijk who served a suspension for riding away at high speed when he saw the testers waiting at his home?

123. Christophe Bassons (Fra) La Française des Jeux 24.58

Of course not! Boogerd's on air denial next to Mart Smeets looked decidedly insincere. 5th in the 1998 TdF without EPO??

van Katwijk once called me a ballerina when I almost crashed, put one foot down and managed to pirouette out of trouble without hitting the ground. He didn't do it in a nice way either.

This isn't me.....I am banned from the Guardian for over a year for telling the truth about Lance. Plus I don't like Welsh rugby that much.

I am concerned that rugby is not testing for the right products. A sport in which body shape and strength levels have changed so quickly, recovery from injury so vital, and in which the very limits of legal supplement use are being explored should have seen a heckuva lot more positive tests...

In my posts here I have also expressed concerns about NZ and SA. I would also like to add that there have been several positive tests in the French club competition.

Didn't something like this happen in cycling? A few points: what if the international players were given supplements to take without their clubs knowledge? If the RFU scientists were 100% sure they weren't going to test positive (or they were 'protected') why would this be an issue...

A guy I know plays semipro in SA, and says roid use is rampant and necessary at the upper levels of SA rugby. it's an open secret among serious rugby players. There may well be a reason why Pierre Spies is such a freak of nature - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNSwMFC53FI Give that...

England have Manu Tuilagi and Maki Vunipola in their current squad. Born in Samoa and Tonga respectively. Move to England as rugby players to become pro rugby players for English clubs. And number 8 Thomas Waldron was born in NZ and spent all his life there until he realised he wasn't good...

I know the final was a close game but they beasted the Aussie scrum all that day. I also think NZ were humiliated at not being able to power over from 1m out in numerous attempts with 2 extra forwards. It is more that massive quicktime bulking up of some of the players on that team that...
