Re: Re: That's a fair comment. The statement should be amended for now to a team of ridiculous individuals until then.

Re: Re: The article is only wrong if it indicated marathon pace. If he is running intervals they could be @80-90%max r pace or lactate threshold..it doesnt say marathon pace it says of his max. His max is way above marathon pace. Still, doped to the gills no matter what training he is doing.

Re: Calm...I said detailed not delayed. I also think you're not fully engaging here, I said that to extrapolate from a study on the long term medical benefits for patients to form a hypothesis for a study on Pro's was sound. The Logic to form a hypothesis is sound, not sure why it wouldn't be ...

Re: Re: Thanks for the detailed reply ! Long term use is more beneficial being part of the hypothesis- why isn't that sound ? There is evidence to say it is so I think the study would be warranted

Re: It's not unusual at all for marathon runners to only hit 80% on interval training efforts. His maximum effort for intervals is way above what he could sustain for a marathon . No one but a complete amateur who didn't know what they were at would run at race pace on a long run as training...

Re: The logic is sound enough even if its just for the hypothesis of a study on Pro's rather than its intended use.

Re: I wonder will they let him have a go at the Vuelta....must be tempting for them to have 3 different GT winners the same year.

Re: Thats bull..Evans,Contador,Le Monde,Delgado, Nibali,Hinaut....all low 60's Even the logic behind what all rounder guys are doing to the climbers is bull....they all ride numerous days,the smaller climbers should be better on the big climbs, Its not bloody rocket science

Re: If you start from a place where everyone is doping then this is true.

Re: Re: Nope that's not really the issue and you know it. When a country starts producing winners where there was none before and dominating a sport then we you look under the hood you always see modifications that aren't legal.

Re: Re: I'm sorry but anyone who was a pro on an Italian team in the 90's knows better than that. If that was true they know that there isn't a pro team that isn't doping most of the riders. If the person was really a pro then they are just playing you and the Omerta is still strong...or its...

I'm not sure of the purpose of the thread. There isn't any ethics where doping is concerned at the top level in sport. Its each to their own with whatever advantage can be gained to chemically enhance the athlete or give the best equipment. The only rule is don't get everyone caught and damage...

Re: No but when your cadence changes rapidly on a really low gear....really really low...and your pedalling like a lunatic but your heart rate isn't moving yet your speed rockets so much that you bank on 10% corners uphill there could be a possibility of a motor in use....maybe. Ever tried...

Really we should be asking how that young fella got hold of the drugs to compete against the old guard ? Surprised it's not getting more noise, I thought it was pretty ridiculous
