... Sorry if it has already been brought up in this thread somewhere but i didn't think anyone knew Contador's VO2 max, LC, RHR etc. I thought it was all speculation an no solid confirmed figures? If you know can you tell us, provide links etc. Thanks

You are correct - Bertie's stats have never been released to the press. I'll bet London to a brick, though, that Bertie's would have been released ages ago if they were even close to Big Mig's. The only reasonable explanation for Bertie witholding is that when they are demonstrated to be so far behind Mig's, the doping game will be up.

Angry Ho, Big Mig's stats were revealed in his open-to-the-media testing on the day before the start of each Tour. Perhaps you were still in kindergarten and missed it.

... Laziali, I love the daisy coloured tag you use. Sounds like you borrowed it from some Italian pron. Classy!

Angry Ho, for someone who has professed alleged superiority of opinion based on your supposed wide reading of this board, all one can say is BUSTED!!! If you were as widely read as you claim, you would already have seen the explanation for my username here:

Keep trying, though - it's highly amusing.

Hmm numbers are debatable, because people lie all the time. I've read an american article once that said Indurains VO2max wasn't 91 but 78. Ofcourse they might say this to hail up LA, who's VO2max was claimed to be 85 in 2005. Again lies might hide behind the corner in these numbers too. So why would AC release his numbers :s. He's obviously talented, and numbers are indications, not a mathematical law, and those don't belong to human beings.
