Rominger had a ridiculous record. He used to be a childhood hero of mine, but looking back at Bicisport articles on how he overcame his "pollen allergy" thanks to the great Dottore' Ferrari; nothing short of hilarious. On the other hand, Wiggins, how am I supposed to take his attempt serious...

I'm just very happy poor old Chris is being treated by people who know what to do with his ailments. That Bilcancerharziaviliagodzilbulbiabubba must have really affected his mood swings. He wouldn't be the same person if he were in the care of some doctor wouldn't give a toss about anaerobic...

The amount of effort by some of the posters in this thread to produce something great is immense. Whenever I find the time to visit this forum -and I mostly lurk-, I go to see what happens here first. It's as if it's an imaginary comedy show on wheels. Just like reality. I'd like to thank you...

"He's not the Messiah, he's just a very naughty boy!" Horner is still riding, right? Otherwise it would be a comedy show without a punchline.

Oh, wow, I had completely forgotten about suppliers. Cipo is going to use every single photo-op he can. I might get in touch with Michael Ball. Why would he hire Tyler Hamilton if he could have had Gaumont?

Completely agreed with O'grady being the DS. To be honest, if the team would be invited to a criterium and have the support you mentioned, the criterium is going to be quite a show. Bobridge and Hepburn can drive drunk and shout "funnies" at their riders, whilst Boonen is grinding his teeth...

Agreed, considering not hiring Riis and trying to pull birds with Australians whilst going out, but for a place on the team these guys need a palmares, no one in the organisation of "8 van Chaam" is going to give away money to a cyclist with just the ability to consume alcohol/drugs without the...

Obviously after the Fantasy Doping GT, there will be some criteriums around the Netherlands and Belgium for everybody to cash in on their exploits during the GT. As everybody nowadays has a charity to either cure cancer or look good, some riders decided to put together a charity team. Even...

Actually, if anybody still has some old Bicisport magazines in the attic from the years 1992-1995, Im absolutely sure they ran some good articles on Ferrari. Including comparing EPO to orange juice etcetera. If I remember correctly (and my Italian is not that good) they also had articles about...

Considering the fact that Rominger was using Ferrari's marvellous training schedules already in 1993 (and who knows how much earlier), and he was doing this out in the open; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7zjjFHRnHg (six minute mark. He's even seen sitting at a nice dinertable with the good...

Brits: Our guys don't dope; we are from the superior British Ethical sort. We are too good with ethics to dope like all other inferior-ethical, non-British sportspeople do. Colombians: Our guys don't dope. We wish we could, but can't afford it. Americans: Our guys don't dope. And if they do...

The miracle is not in the cure of bilharzia, as much as it is in Froome NOT being cured from bilharzia in the normal timeframe. Which normally should be treated with stuff like Praziquantel, for which miraculously, side effects are treated with, of all things, corticosteroids. That leaves a...

Maybe Brailsford should tell him that it would make a great photo opportunity. That it will make him look like the tough guy he really is.

To the bolded; Isnt there lots of questions asked here? I think in that regard theres no problem, right?

Michel Zanoli, please tread carefully. This must be one of the most interesting and "heartbreaking" topics over here, and although my knowledge of stuff is very limited, I might have some small insight. A couple of pages back, Michel Zanoli was listed as being one of the possible 'victims'...
