Clearly crappier than a clean Wiggins.

 

[ParfaitAmour]

My twitter line is saying he's been asked to leave the tour.

No, it's the other way around: "he dopes because he's a crap loser who can't cut it against the real riders who train harder, have a better cadence and don't whine".

Or something...

 

[Arnout]

Would an expert be so kind to describe what the substance is, what performance it might or might not add, if it is able to mask things and how likely it is that it is a deliberate attempt to dope?

I'm looking for facts

I'm looking for facts

Considering it's a diuretic I doubt it helps performance

Jest aside, I assume it's a mask or cleansing drug.

I'm pretty sure this is just like Hope Solo: prescribed to him by a doctor for his PMS...

 

[my username is flish]

Oh brother, where art thou?

He couldn't bear another DNF to pass the Schlecks by ?
