We hear so much regarding doping in the male pelaton dose that mean that the women cant find anything that works??

Moved to the appropriate place.

There are certainly a number of doping cases in the women's peloton.

Don't know if I'd call it effective....but cue Tammy Thomas photo...

Should be an effective deterent.

 

[Ibanez]

So wrong. She is an attorney now I think?

And yeah, women's cycling has had its fair share of problems.

2x World champion Susanne Ljungskog was forced to retire due to hemachromatosis...

I am not sure about that. She was convicted of perjury, and I would think that the bar would not have admitted her. Maybe they made and exception?

Holy crap batman who's the dude in ladies clothes

When I first saw that picture I thought it was yet another tired old British Comedy Troupe dressing in drag and taking the mick!

It's her "do" too! Looks like she flipped out in a 'roid rage and hacked her hair off with a fillet knife. Seriously, why didn't anyone pull her aside and have a little chat with her? You know...man to man!

 

[Maxiton]

I wonder how many times a woman stepped into the ladies room, saw her standing there, and screamed?

Who is more of a man, Tammy Thomas or Lance?

I wonder if, while she was doping, she developed an inexplicable interest in automobiles and had a hard time articulating her feelings?

Maybe she is Tyler's twin? But she would crush Tyler.

And this is Tammy 5 years after that pic was taken -

Clearly off the PEDs. The drug tester said he didn't even recognize at the trial.

She looks a bit like Jack White. Sorry Jack.

Spelling corrections: 'opportunity' 'peleton' 'can't' cheers.

 

[the big ring]

And "does". ;-)

What is almost as criminal as the doping that does occur is the absolute pittance women cyclists get paid compared to the men - and also the explanation for why so few dope: they could not afford it.

Genevieve Jeanson anyone?

Actually, it's "peloton," but . . . yeah.

Marianne Vos told Bike Pure she was only tested out of competition once this year, and is calling for more tests in women's cycling.

As the moderators (and many of the posters, including I am sure some of those who have posted here) are keen to delete and remove off topic posts then will the pedantic posts regarding spelling be removed?
Unfortunately some people may not be the best at spelling but usually it makes no difference to readers' understanding of the message, it certainly didn't in this case. Being a self appointed Grammar Policeman is quite pathetic.


*Please feel free to delete this as well.

Every time I see that Tammy Stewart photo I am reminded how insidious they need to win can be with some athletes (heck with some people). She was willing to make herself look like a freak in order to achieve a win.

I do wonder though... Did she even see the transformation? Did she recognize herself in the mirror? Did anyone around her (her family, friends....) do anything to try and stop it?
