Is he doing those?

You're right. I typed one thinking the other.

That's where I am. Once a pre-defined time has passed (should be before the next event) it is a done deal. The rider's brand will of course suffer if found cheating, but the official results need to stand as they do in soccer/football.

Looking for the mean - not average Anyone know the mean? 80th place in the TdF brings home?? What should be another thread - I wish UCI was run by more marketing/business people than cyclists. There appears to be a bias that those in the cycling business were actually riders. I don't...

If you are clean and your teammates are not - you benefited (or they are very useless teammates). Say that. Give back the money. Move away from those teammates. I see that in other team sports too where a particular person/position may not dope, but gets benefit from the teammates...

Where is Wiggins? Something about 485Watts / hour that excites me.

A tougher circuit minimizes the cautiousness. This course was not tough enough. I like no radios.

Yes, and yes. The cost being it may slow you down the next day. Some ergogenics (good word Alex) may help with recovery, but the rider wouldn't want them during an event. A pro may not want to go 100% on the day before a significant stage. Grand tour TTs for the domestiques would be an example.

WADA http://list.wada-ama.org/prohibited-in-competition/prohibited-substances During event pain killers offers little advantage (IMO) as most riders deal well with pain. They can ride with broken bones. And many pain killers are depressants / may slow you down. For sleeping - maybe. But...

If its not on the WADA list you don't need a TUE. If there is a TUE it is on the WADA list. Both are covered in my original post. Anything on the WADA list - is not what I'm asking about.

Useful: Caffeine B-alanine Bicarbonate Beetroot juice (food) think its the Nitrates Creatine What about ibuprofen or aspirin? Defamatory and I believe thins the blood a bit and somewhat a pain killer, although I don't think pain is an issue usually.

Not true. More to it than that.

This is a non doping thread which is why I did not post in the clinic. What are useful legal (not on WADA list/dose) drugs/vitamins - non calorie substances (not food) that would not be a WADA violation cyclists can take to improve their performance? Caffeine. What else?

Does anyone think its a bit harder to tell with women? I mean in football / FIFA they are having issues verifying they ARE women - and some were not. With the variations of females in this world, to have some women with a lot higher male hormones and male physiques than others sounds like...
