They were taking the corners like F1 drivers too.

Well, maybe not groom her so much as he believes it is "medicine" or "nutrition" and since it does come from a doctor or some sort of para-doctor, it must be "good..." and how can you perform like him and not be "healthy?" Don't underestimate the psychological aspect. With all the stuff that...

The story tracks. We do have better bikes now and we have better nutrition and anyone that has ever trained seriously has had their diet tuned up and probably seen some results. That line hits you in the feels. I shut up over the last few years, just trying to enjoy the show but seeing how...

Georgie boy is still loyal to the game too, in that same conversation he attributed it to better training and technology.. A 10% edge from their super elite and proprietary diet and training.

Blood doping work and has been around for ever and I can’t recall an interesting positive from it from any passport or screening… and the effect is immediate. mRNA seems like a slam dunk though, I really don’t know how you’d ever test for it other than having arbitrary thresholds (how much of a...

Thank you. This made my day.

I'm like Joerg's tweet more and more. Is there a more simple answser that is plausible? Here is my hypothesis: He uses large amounts of it in the offseason for the anabolic effects, injected. He draws blood during that time and has a fairly sophisticated calendar for use to avoid detection...

By "innocent" you mean "he didn't cheat anybody," right?

What's the benefit or how is it used as a masking agent?

Re: Re: How would it not be considered an offense? Under what possible rationale? He's twice the limit, he either has a TUE for that dosage or doesn't. I'm 100% certain we wouldn't have heard about it at all if the paperwork was in order. In my book, he's already burned that "freebee"...

Re: Greg already is a hero, bro. He was right about Lance and Postal and he paid a pretty significant price for that. He deserves a lot of slack if he thinks there is an issue here. The piece was largely a puff piece, maybe a setup for a real story or something. I didn't take it as...

Can this sport actually have oversight? There were people that were forecasting this when Cookson took over at UCI. He's British, British cycling is enjoying popularity spike, Sky will cheat. They/we can't even follow the protocols and procedures to report test results. I guess it's all...

Re: Moto-fraud: first rider caught Do any of the more elite riders have their own personal mechanics? You know, kind of like how some had their own "doctors" and "trainers" that weren't officially on the team's payroll?

Am I the only one that thinks EPS and Di2 type systems open the door to this? If someone is willing to take calf's blood or perform a self back-alley transfusion, I don't know why anyone would be remotely surprised at the use of any mechanical "doping" It's cool on consumer bikes. It's...

Re: It's unfortunate that it's all come to splitting hairs over fairly mundane details, like who called who when and what's 'official' and what's not. That's what our sport has become though. I think TD did inform the team pretty quickly, that's not a notarized document from a USADA lawyer...
