Chris Froome to set the record ascent for Alpe d'Huez :D

Well here's the list (according to Wikipedia) of riders that have gone up Alpe d'Huez in less than 40 minutes: Pantani Armstrong Ullrich Landis Kloden Virenque Mayo Azevedo Indurain Zulle Riis Sastre Bugno Wouldn't exactly be the first names you'd put down to represent Team Clean Cycling.

Used to respect Contador a lot, but no longer. That was a weasel attack and he deserves all the boos he gets. Yellow is the appropriate colour. What a muppet.

35 mins flat for Alpe d'Huez is 2 minutes faster than Pantani at his peak. Completely insane to think it's even remotely possible clean. This belongs in the clinic IMO.

Real test for me is how close they get to Pantani's time for the Mortirolo. Given Pantani was at the top of his form and almost certainly jacked to the max, anything within a couple minutes would leave serious questions.

So the fans who want a clean sport have to give up watching because dopers take them to be mugs? Nice logic.

Some of you guys need to seriously lay off the waccy baccy. After everything that's gone down over the years you still believe in this crap? It's completely legit to question incredible performances, and with good reason. Seeing a guy blow away the opposition twice in a week, and breathing...

I believe folks. So some dude from Mr 60%'s team smokes the entire field twice in a week breathing through his nose? Just do what I do - stick your fingers in your ears and say 'la la la' over and over again. Everything will appear normal.

Contador's only hope is with an exceptionally steep mountainous course with little flat time trialling. Indurain was a terrific climber in his own right considering his size. Contador would need 3 minutes in the mountains to be sure of holding off the Big Mig on a 50/60k TT. Anything less and...

Complete waste of money if you ask me. Cyclists are constantly contracting their calf muscles and have no need of these socks. They are designed for immobile patients at risk of DVT or people with chronic vascular disease. Why any healthy person would wanna shell out a wad of cash for this...

Interesting stuff. Increased risk of heart attacks and strokes stands to reason. Wouldn't like to speculate how EPO might increase the risk of new tumours. Existing tumours should do well though, seeing that they need their own blood supply. More oxygen should suit them just fine.

Ouch, a little harsh there. We're not all demented trolls over here you know lol. Gotta say I was a bit embarrassed when Alpe said this nutcase was from the south east of England, precisely my location. However apparently he's with the largest ISP, which my guess puts him with BT, which...

It's absurd to compare marathon running against cycling for one thing. It's a completely different discipline, you wouldn't expect a marathon runner to be any good at cycling and vice versa. As for oxygen carrying capacity, there's no reason at all why a marathon runner should have any...

If you're putting forward an explanation as to why so many get popped for r-EPO, it's up to you to back it up, otherwise anybody can say anything. You might as well say those riders eating too many marshmallows are the ones failing the test, therefore marshmallows are the cause of excessive...

How about when you're in a hole, quit digging?
