vino is desperate to sign froome

i was there that day and the peloton were soft-pedalling nearly all the way. except for a few attacks on the snake pass. i wouldn't expect to see classics riders at the finish for that if they raced properly. ideal for someone like samu sanchez or valverde.

it wasn't that "nobody cared" it was because ulrich won the tour and interest in cycing in germany peaked. they paid handsomely for the UCI to switch the classic from the UK to germany. if you ever watch a video of the leeds classic you will see big crowds. as for having it in london -...

i think froome will win it. contador to DNF.

Judging from the fact he was moaning about being exhausted I'd say testosterone patch on rest day, diuretic to flush evidence after.

Great post

good to hear he is doing well. look forward to seeing him next year :)

TEST ALL AND OFTEN!!!! :D Blood, hair, urine, stool maybe?

they should take blood from every rider, every day. also hair samples, urine, etc. that would take the gamble out of it the ASO/UCI have the money to do this. and freeze the samples for future re-testing when testing is more precise.

because he isn't a pharmacologist. he puts his trust in certain doctors to be aware of these things. they obviously aren't. and the presumably chaotic way in which this doping is done - in the bus in a layby for example -mistakes can be made.

say 7 hours half life. 40mgs. 7 hours 20 mgs 14 hours 10mgs 21 hours 5 mgs 28 hours 2.5 mgs 35 hours 1.25 mgs 42 hours 0.625mgs 49 hours 0.3125mgs etc they are going to be testing for micrograms probably (don't know how accurate UCI machines are) so that could still be in his body a...

but you would only have the same amount of RBCs which is the important thing. diuretics are for masking, they have no performance effect except for rapid weight loss via fluid, which leads to dehydration

and it wouldn't work. for blood doping they take a week off the bike at altitude, let the cells recover, take the blood at the end of the week.

lower blood volume = lower BP = less work for the heart, also helps with oedema which is common in CHF the left ventricle is the bit that pushes oxygenated blood up the aorta and to the body - thus it is very important.

i know what it means, what you want explaining?
