Thanks for providing the link directly to his words.

I think we have a winner here, this blows the whole story wide open as far as I am concerned.

Good grief.

The whole story was blown open on 17th July 2013. Since then, there's been no way back for Sky without admitting Team Science actually knows less about science than Kent Hovind

It's called debate, if Michelle Cound is going to post here she doesn't get special treatment just because she's "hot."

Damn. I was just gonna ask for special treatment on those grounds.

And nothing similar between Froome and Lemond other than that.

Which is a whole lot, since the Bilharzia issue is a big theme with Froome here...

I only trust 3 1/2 riders completely.

Bassons, Casar, Moncoutie, and Mottet (who seemingly only once bite the forbidden fruit).

Lemonds after-shoot story, as much as I like him, and as much as I felt/feel sorry for what he went trou (accident, the LA issue), is as murky as those of some other great champions (unlogically up and downs in results, the usual "coming-from-the-deathbed-story-but-win-a-three-week-masacre", obscure blood and muscle sicknesses, the "I-only-show-up-at-one-GT-per-season" approach).

I don't really get the belief in Casar and Moncoutié
Their results in the early 2000's were too good to be true imo
Especially since they didn't improve on those in the recent "somewhat slower" years, nor ever spoke out about it?

Just looking at Froome's bio on the sky website. Interesting quote

Best advice:
"If you want something badly enough you'll find a way to make it happen."

Got a picture of it, I'll upload it later. Seems Froome is a big fan of Jens V too.

OFF TOPIC:

Why is DocMaserati banned forever? :confused:
He was one of the few with informative posts and links, especially in the older "blood" threads...

Not amused.

I've just read that. Looks like they now fear Contador and try to cast suspicion on his recent improvement. At the same time Porte isn't any more on the Giro starting list, everyone needed to stop the spaniard on the Tour.

I did - and it should be alongside the definition of irony in the dictionary.
