Feel free to stimulate discussion on the Movistar, Astana or Катюша threads. They tend to follow the same pattern.

"I think -insert Spaniard/Russian/Kazakh/Italian here- is doping!"
"Yea, you're probably right"
"You only just noticed?!"
"-Insert list of shady connections here-: seems fair enough"
"Yes, I agree. Pretty dubious"
"Right, fair enough. I think we're all agreed on this. Shall we make a pointless comparison to Sky?"
"We could, but the mods will step in before long."
"Ah yes, you're right. Wouldn't want to go off topic. Shall we get back to arguing with each other in the Sky threads?"
"Great idea!"

Oh, and you misspelt hypocrisies.
 
Well, he is right.

Just look around. When AC, piti or Quintiana attacks it's "amazing", "spectacular" and the are "making the race".

Froome attacks.

"OMG HE IS SO ****ING DOPED UP ON EVERY DAMN SUBSTANCE KNOW TO MAN!"

"Alien!!"

"they are not even hiding it" and so on…

So yes, there are people here who are being hypocrites.

This.

It is part of the anti-anglo crusade due to fans historical attachment to romantic cycling and eventual antipathy for these countries which take a more scientific approach to the sport.

Since tirreno adriatico when the contador thread was resurrected (by me though no doubt you have me listed as one of those biased towards contador:rolleyes:) 2 months, or 8 weeks ago, the thread has had 100 new pages of discussion; or 1000 posts (not including deleted posts).

So your assertion that the clinic ignores contador is just baseless whining.

A great amount of those posts were pointless fanboy or anti's arguments (?) on him being clean or not and useless comparisons on whether he was a better deserving doper than others or not, though. You don't find the unanimity there as in the Sky/Froome/Porte threads.

Sky have won 2 TdFs and a bunch of other significant stage races.

That's why they get the attention. Sure, there might be a bunch of sourpuss Aussies not missing the opportunity for a whine and swelling the threads, but the fact remains if Sky had placed 4th in every race they rode the narrative would be somewhat different.
 
To put this in context as well, the 2 major ongoing races are both being led by anglos, the previous 3 major races were all also won by anglos, while another 5 Anglos (6 if we count the Canadian) have won a stage in the last week.
Something like 3/4 of the podiums a cycling fan has seen over the last 3 weeks have been headed by anglos.

So it's a surprise that group has more threads on the front page at this moment in time?

Sky could be crap almost the whole year, win a race or two, and people would still be calling them dopers in unanimity.



Marginal gains do make a difference when the top riders are almost at the same level.

It is not a surprise. But I think the OP's point is that if it were a non-anglo dominance streak there wouldn't still be as much threads with ongoing discussion as there are for the anglos.

The OP is against the double standards when judging teams and riders.

Domination like US Postal and intelligence insulting nonsense like marginal gains, 100% clean, clean performances will surpass earlier 'full-ret@rd' performances.

It has very little to do with where they are from or what language they speak.
