sniper said:indeed, which is why it'd be nice to hear lance's view on froome...
as for rasmussen, his rise to the top was actually quite gradual, wasn't it?
goes to show: while an abrupt improvement like froome's is an obvious doping indicator, a more gradual improvement does not indicate cleanliness.
Both Rasmussen and Riis had a more steady rise to the top with top 10 grand tour performances.. And both stated that they doped for a decade and where very good at it..
Hmm it makes me wonder that if Froome really is clean, he must have been touched by an angel a few years back..
When hardcore training AND doping took 5-8 years for Riis/rasmussen to make top 3 performances, then why only two for Froome?
If Froome is doping he must be responding like Armstrong to it -no other exlpanation..
If he is clean i will be proud to have lived the same time as the mabybe gratest athlete EVER!! I have my doubts.....
