Does Sagan have any mathematical chance at taking the green after stage 18 or is it over ?

Re: Re: So you are advocating for the slippery gray rule: Low T, top it off with syn T, low hemog, top it off with CERA, low lung function, jack 'em open with salbu, low on watts, grab a motor... It sucks that you were born with an issue like that, but many people were born with or without...

Re: Interesting tidbit in that article about guys in the 80's putting coke in their white wrist bands and a quick snort between points. Had not heard that before. I've never done the stuff but those that have and at some time played tennis at a higher level, would it in your opinion offer...

If just but Nadal were to be exposed, I understand why Spain would never release those names at any cost.

Re: Re: In some regards, yes, Agassi via Gil's secret shakes, was the first to come back with a vengeance as he aged, but I'm guessing Lendl was probably the first male to really enhance his game via ped's. Mere speculation mind you.

I'm confident Raonic can win a major, likely Wimbly where the faster court makes his serve even more unreturnable. His movement and court coverage has to continue to improve and that's not easy for a man of his size. But I guarantee that nobody wants him on their side of the draw come grass or...

It's not just amazing that they can endure a tough 5 setter, and then bounce back so quickly and endure another 5 setter or in Fed's case, three 5 setters along with a straight set win within a week, but that they're doing it at this age. We all know if you've been there that as one ages, you...

And don't forget, though it's only doubles, the Bryan brothers at almost 39 have reached the finals as well. It seems the Aussie has become almost a Masters tournament of the past.

Maria is a cash cow to the WTA and because of the miserable state of the current women's play, with few owning any star power available to sell their product, they need her back in the game asap and weren't ready for her to retire.

Gee TJ, a three hour race and he comes in almost an hour down. Guess he's saving his legs for that stage win.

Re: Re: The tennis balls used for professional men and women are different . They slowed the men's game down but not the women's. Over time the court surfaces have become more homogenized and slower as well (of course for both)...

Re: Re: if honest (Russian) athletes care they would come forward anyway or is that being too obvious in the 21st century. Only if they enjoyed spending their days in a nasty northerly climate or worse

Indurain was smart enough and humble enough to fly beneath the radar and not make it too obvious, unlike Lance that would just flaunt it.

Re: Re: Nastase was from Romania and there were several eastern block players like Jan Kodes and Tiriac before him but the French and the Italians have always been integral to the sport.
