More to the point, Boswell's reaction was too funny to not post it at the slightest provocation.

To me he's always looked like the typical big time doper, but I'm starting to wonder if he got off the juice for some reason.
Opinions?

Jani was never a real gt contender and his decline pretty much started when he stopped riding for Bruyneel and the Postal scandal started, once The Hog was persona non grata his decline started.pastronef said:SafeBet said:Genuine question: is Aru following Cunego's path?

Aru is following Brajkovic, Anton and Jurgen VDB paths

It's not only about a grand tour contender, how many stars did the team create/how many great riders were developed by them?staubsauger said:When was the last time Lampre successfully prepared a grand tour contender? Raimondas Rumsas! Although he got caught for EPO at the 2003 Giro d'Italia. So it was hardly successful.
After that it was the former Saeco crew (Simoni, Cunego & Martinelli) that got it right at the 2005 Giro d'Italia and Scarponi used to prepare himself individually in 2011 I think.
So it's not only about Aru. As harsh as I've been on him. The Lampre team better should've folder 2 years ago.
Yeah, I forgot about Bennati.roundabout said:Bennati had his breakthrough with Lampre, although one can argue that it was coming and Ulissi has done pretty well (but I would say that he is a tier below star level).
So Aru is about to retire. He's 31 years old.
Once touted as the next big thing in Italian cycling, he went from GT contender to randomly not being able to follow the peloton on rolling stages.
I truly hope one day we'll know the full story on his career.

Which pros?according to some pros his initial successes were never legit.
appears that the iliac artery thing may have been a cover.
astana doesn't look so good either. then again, when did they? unapologetic vino in charge.
Which pros?
Interesting, I had never heard that about Henderson.greg Henderson.
And as soon as he left Astana he was a shadow of himself.
Not under his given name, I guess.Interesting, I had never heard that about Henderson.
