They are most likely talking about this. Many dismiss it as rubbish but I'm not so sure. Here is an article in Outside Online from a former skeptic. I would be very surprised if some riders are not benefiting from this and technologies like this. I know Adam Talansky uses it...

I know. It's been in use for for a couple years with Cross Fitters, NBA, NFL, MLB and the US Ski team along with many others. This is the first time a Tdf level athlete has admitted use in the press.

Brain hacking is here. http://www.businessinsider.com/tour-de-france-cyclist-talansky-halo-neuroscience-headset-technology-2017-6 McMahon: Do any of your teammates or other pros you know use it? Talansky: Pierre Rolland uses it. And others ask questions about it and are intrigued. There's a...

LeMond said he believes the 800g weight difference “should have set off alarm bells.”

"The frames are likely gone" No they are not. They are either out there and can be weighed or they were destroyed. We have excellent photographs of these bikes at the Tdf so why would it be impossible to spec a used frame back up? The frame is the only logical place to put another 800g. It would...

Re: Re: I am serious. The frame is what sky claims added 800g. Are the frames gone? Why would you destroy a frame? 60 minutes bought a 1999 Postal Trek on Ebay. All the other part weights are well known. Prove it Sky.

Simple enough, find a 2015 Sky TT bike out of storage and weigh it. It's not like they destroyed the bikes, have they?

Latest on Brain Doping Olympic Athletes Are Electrifying Their Brains, and You Can Too If a brain-stimulation gadget catches on, expect controversy over “brain doping” http://spectrum.ieee.org/biomedical/bionics/olympic-athletes-are-electrifying-their-brains-and-you-can-too

The Journal Nature discuses tDCS and sports. This is not a joke King B. ‘Brain doping’ may improve athletes’ performance Electrical stimulation seems to boost endurance in preliminary studies. http://www.nature.com/news/brain-doping-may-improve-athletes-performance-1.19534 They write about a new...

Re: DARPA disagrees with you. http://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2016-03-16 The body’s branching network of peripheral nerves connects neurons in the brain and spinal cord to organs, skin, and muscles, regulating a host of biological functions from digestion to sensation to locomotion. But the...

Re: True, but caffeine and amphetamines can be tested and banned. Testing is not possible for tDCS.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cycling/2016/03/12/behind-the-scenes-with-tim-kerrison---the-team-sky-visionary-beh/ I'm guessing it's brain doping since Team Sky went to silicon valley last year and talked to the companies that are doing this. He's right that it won't stay secret for long...

I can't imagine that tDCS would ever be banned because there is absolutely no way you can tell someone has used it.
