It's pretty evident that Froome et al are on 'something', whether it be legal or not, and they've got to the stage of being unhealthy in any physicians eyes. I think the OP is onto something. I'm sure some sort of (BMI) formula could be concocted to keep the peloton healthy. There would be...

Mig was hot. I think the 'Harlem Globetrotters' analogy to the EPO era is awesome... so true and very funny to boot! I have two points: I thought Mig practically admitted to using PED's. and... If any highly trained athlete took EPO etc they would pull similar VO2 max and resting...

I can feel a Plasticiser Passport coming on!! ;)

Exactly... You are one extremely naive person to think that a client of Francesco Conconi, in the early 90's, with no test for it, wasn't taking EPO.

This would make sense since Rogers and Haussler are compatriots... oh and Cavendick is as annoying as a snappy/yappy little yorkshire terrier. Wasn't the silent protest led by members HTC-Col team?

An endurance MTB friend of mine described a process called 'glycaemic clamp' whereby insulin is used in conjunction with glucose to fully recharge the muscles with glycogen overnight. (normally not possible after several hard days according to him) The blood glucose is monitored (hence the...

No but I'm curious. I would've thought fairly low. ?

There's absolutely no way any pro (or pro team staff) with half a brain would carry their 'gear' with them in a team car these days. The special bags would be in the back of a transport truck well stashed. Probably in a refridgerated meat truck!!! Wouldn't it be funny if they had...

I'll put a wager on that too. I fear that the 'dopers' will be aware of this and take extra measures to hide their actions. They must've been hiding their doping better and better over the years and are doing less these days anyway. I can't believe this hasn't been done in recent years...

Well, let's just say he's blowing a trumpet then.. I hope he plays the whole freakin orchestra! What I do want to know is, since as many have stated that Floyd is broke, and he has the same Lemond lawyer team, is Greg picking up the tab. Has he said to Flandis, 'You just keep arcing up...

Hmmm.. Are you Guiterrez's ghost writer?? Only stirring, I do agree with your sentiment. One thing to consider though is that, is every criminal in prison?? Not every crim gets caught and quite often it's cruel how some are caught and others who are worse keep getting away with it. So if...

Yeah, but TUE's for any supporting drugs eg. bronchodilators, that amplify the effects of the juice you mention definately give the rider the edge over his peers who are on the same "program". Must be frustrating for some, who then eventually juice up that little bit too much.

I think that considering the stroke occurred towards the end of the EPO peak, and considering AC's associations, it would be naive to believe that it (EPO) didn't play a role in pushing an otherwise benign pre-existing condition over the edge. Fanboys will be fanboys... they were born with...

Well the main reason is that the worlds were ran over a hilly course with a decent climb in it, wheras roubaix is basically flat and flanders only has sharp pinches. If Evans was to carry an extra kilo at his body weight he may as well have been wearing clown shoes and parachute pants! I'm...

That's right.. STRIKE! just like the baseballers. :confused:
