10 out of 10 times somebody worked with dodgy doctor or manager he was doping. Draw your own conclusion if you can.

darwin553 said:Again both of these 'facts' you are saying can be used in connection with a multitude of other circumstantial facts against Froome to lead to a conclusion or build a case that he is indeed doping but it certainly doesn't point to any absolute knowledge or proof that he actually dopes.
Cerberus said:Sure, there propably is some sort of none-zero probability that Froom is clean. I just don't think it's very high.
Cerberus said:Out of curiosity do you know what '' marks around a word is supposed to mean?
saganftw said:why are you arguing semantics in this thread,whether you "know" or just "think" or "suspect" that froome is doping why does it matter,this is not the court of law
darwin553 said:It matters when you are forced to listen to one member ram his opinion down your throat thinking he is right all the time.
Rollthedice said:This is The Clinic and it's the Froome thread. What do you expect? Praise his otherworldly performances? Swallow the bilharzia, training harder than all explanations of his sudden rise from zero to hero?

yes. racists on second life. their avatars garbed in KKK attireAlphabet said:These arguments that centre around 'People of X nationality are untrustworthy and have cultures that tolerate cheating' are virtually racist.

yeah, well... i dont see it that way.darwin553 said:That's why I said in the UK - outside the UK, many of them tend to blend in with the locals and their habits.

blackcat said:as long as my fave posters brodeal, chewie, sniper, benotti, are not banned, oh, and mrsjohnmurphy or kim deal, as long as they are not banned, i am a happy man.
Galic Ho said:So for the next day you're not a happy chappy I take it.
Benotti was banned. Sniper was banned for weeks just last month I believe.
BroDeal and Chewie are too well honed to get banned.
MrsMJM...surprisingly not around that much. Love when they post though.
Argh...the Froome show and defining 'know.' That's subjective to each person. I'll stand by what I wrote. Most people have already chosen what 'know' is regarding doping and they aren't cutting Froome any slack. Why should they? What's he done for them or clean cycling? What have Sky done?
Nada, zip, nothing. The End.

FKLance said:I have tried really hard not to comment here but I can't help it. This is just so wrong, it's killing me.
Your friends? who don't even follow the sport? You think your friends know something then? You understand that most people are like this by nature, they "call it like it is" while in actuality they understand nothing?
What is normal and healthy? a good 10-15% body fat?
The fact that they are skinny is evidence of doping?
Again, I'm not saying they are not doping, on the contrary. I think they are.
But I do not have evidence. YOU do not have evidence.
buckle said:I agree and his tastes are not expensive - he lives in an unfashionable part of the UK. His problem might be if someone spills the beans in exchange for a reduced ban. There is so much riding on this for the British because of DB.
What might worry SKY is Ian Livingstone (CEO of BT) joining the government. BT are going head to head with SKY.
Anyway, this is Froome talk so sorry for the troll and going off piste. One can only hope that Froome glows on Ventoux today!
Galic Ho said:I've touched on ectomorphs and what they naturally look like. Froome is not a pure ectomorph. His pre Sky physiology says as much.
Andy Schleck is a pure ectomorph. My brother is. I know how bloody physically gifted their types are. They are elite. Naturals. They can do it all. Sorry, but if Froome was in that category, he'd have been making waves in cycling since he was a teen and in his early 20s. His first appearance was at 26.
This stuff has been covered again and again. Next thing you'll be telling me the Arnold Classic isn't littered with roid junkies. Spare us dude. All the super thin riders who have lost tremendous amounts of weight did so one way...doping. AICAR, Telismartin, GW1516, take your pick. FFS man, I can go down to Sydney, walk into a Fitness First gym and get any drug I'd want. There are tons of people selling Clenbuterol like it's Tic Tac's. The dealers make a LOT OF MONEY doing it. Talk about a GRAND per week. They're performance junkies. Pro sports people are even worse. They have more disposable income and yes, the drugs WORK. You're living in pixie land if you think they don't.
Healthy body fat is 12-15%. Fair enough. General public, men don't hit that. Even fit women struggle to get that low. We're talking PROFESSIONAL bike riders who before 2009 carried sub 10% body fat levels. If they didn't, they wouldn't have been able to race. Excess weight has been a major no no for decades in cycling despite the lies USPS and Sky have spun. But yes, you kid yourself thinking Froome had body fat to lose and was a fattie by pro standards.
Truth is he was normal-ish before 2011. The only people who think Froome's current physique is normal have body dysmorphia issues. But you keep sprouting it's normal if it helps.
@darwin556...you still never answered anything put to you in this thread. It really must eat you up to know your boy and team are getting called out for their BS. BTW everything you posted at me...they were raised by others and answered thoroughly. I'd advise you to once again read them, but you're not here to learn and educate yourself. You should get the tissues ready for tonight.
