A nice DefCon talk about potential eBike hacking: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq9t0VEIMio

Been talked about many times around here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=33466 According to Fogel, he went from threshold power of 250W to 350W. I find that hard to believe, but here it is: https://youtu.be/G0JDDdPp8-0?t=1213

Re: Re: I very much subscribe to the idea that anybody making their living from their physicality--actors in Hollywood, athletes of all description, even cops and security guards--are doping in a big way. People, especially people with the personality/motivation that lends them to being...

But what aspect of doping? Are we speculating about what percentage of the peleton are doing autologous blood transfusions in 2008 vs. 2018? What percentage are microdosing EPO? What percentage are abusing TUEs with intent of gaining a performance advantage? Pain killers? Injection vitamins...

It's way too simplistic a question, leaving us to wonder what the answer really means. To me, corruption in the sport is worse than 2008--so that's a 'yes'--but 2007 and 2008 were special years in the cleanup of the sport. Looking more specifically at the drugs, my impression is that use is...

Re: This might just be the best explanation for it. For some reason, your explanation brought Beckie Scott mugging for the camera at the 1h37m mark of Icarus into my mind. And where did I find that clip?!? Lance Armstrong interviewing Bryan Fogel! Part 1, part 2.

Re: Nah, more like Carl Lewis.

Floyd had a thousand sticky bottles that day, so he was motorized, but not in the way you people are thinking. Go back and check threads about it, and you'll see bottle counts and everything. I also remember reading in the clinic a few years ago about speculative interpretation of why Floyd had...

It really comes down to how you feel about doping in sport. If you actually want it eliminated, well cycling is about the only sport that even cares to try. If you think doping control is just about harm reduction, and you just want a big healthy sports-marketing machine, then Lance is dead on...

At 8:15 into Lance's Stages Podcast on this, he says: "I read an article on cycling tips with a doctor from the Irish federation [...] according to this particular doctor an oral ingestion of this salbutamol would be 20,000." I can't find the article, but if that's true.. Still the wrong...

Ya, this seems quite important, but it depends on all the math. I really appreciate you putting effort into that, certainly nowhere near my skill set. Couple of other factors I've wondered about, based on my long time lurking in the clinic here :) I thought there was a suggestion that...

Re: Re: Thanks for the thread Merckx index, great idea! Just to make sure I've got it clear, the bolded are acting in opposite directions? And, accounting for both as well as the raw volumes, you suggest a dilution factor of at least 15:1 and maybe more than 20:1?

I'm not sure what to think about the blood bag theory in general.. waiting for experts to run some numbers, I guess. Still, the similarities between this and Contador's Clenbuterol thing are just hilarious. I mean, it is right here on How Stuff Works: It seems on the face of it to be quite...

Re: Or Canada for Vancouver 2010? Arguably, the correct way to rank nations is by total Golds, not total medals. Hilariously, the Canadian networks decided to rank by total medals, thinking there was a chance Canada would do better that way. Turns out Canada had most Gold, but fewer in total..

Ya, but no. Check wikipedia for the GC top 10 at the end of stages 12-2. Contador was miles back, but still 2nd, at the end of Stage 19. He had a bad day on Stage 20, and fell off the podium.
