Don't re-discuss his entire career, his Tdf '13 or his arms sticking out. Just, whether you believe what you have been a witness to, is a clean performance or not.
He had bonkitis is 2013.AICA ribonucleotide said:danielovichdk2 said:Anyone believe Froome has raced clean at this TdF ?

No one does. The guy went faster up the Alpe than in 2013 this time with bronchitis.
I dont see a reason why not, when he was born as the biggest cyclist of all time that is. But I doubt he was born that way.danielovichdk2 said:Anyone believe Froome has raced clean at this TdF ?
Yes, his decline in the third weak indicates that he is human and not blood doping to keep his level constant throughout the Tour.danielovichdk2 said:Anyone believe Froome has raced clean at this TdF ?

I totally agree, same thing happened with Indurain in his days - now you are asking yourself 'who is Indurain?' and quickly go to wikisearch and find out he was showboating for years - he also never tested positive, only once for salbutamol, when that was still regarded as doping, your dog is allowed to puff salbutamol16 times per stage now: cycling is so much cleaner.Ramon Koran said:Yes, his decline in the third weak indicates that he is human and not blood doping to keep his level constant throughout the Tour.danielovichdk2 said:Anyone believe Froome has raced clean at this TdF ?

What has indurain got to do with this, his dominance was in the epo era, he was blood doping and destroyed everyone for three weeks (plus giro). Froome is the opposite to indurains pure dominance.Fearless Greg Lemond said:I totally agree, same thing happened with Indurain in his days - now you are asking yourself 'who is Indurain?' and quickly go to wikisearch and find out he was showboating for years - he also never tested positive, only once for salbutamol, when that was still regarded as doping, your dog is allowed to puff salbutamol16 times per stage now: cycling is so much cleaner.Ramon Koran said:Yes, his decline in the third weak indicates that he is human and not blood doping to keep his level constant throughout the Tour.danielovichdk2 said:Anyone believe Froome has raced clean at this TdF ?

Yes, but still Froome is knackered after 3 weeks, no way can he be compared to indurain who would destroy everyone at ease.BYOP88 said:Ramon Koran said:What has indurain got to do with this, his dominance was in the epo era, he was blood doping and destroyed everyone for three weeks (plus giro).

Only destroyed everyone in the Giro twice, third try was a bridge too far.

Indurain would have won this tour, fastest in the prologue, would hang on to Froome and Quintana in every mountain.TheRedSon said:Ramon Koran said:What has indurain got to do with this, his dominance was in the epo era, he was blood doping and destroyed everyone for three weeks (plus giro).

Indurain would have been lucky to finish better than fourth in this Tour at his very best level, and that only because Nibali got caught out in the echelons and raced flat for two weeks.
Well, I guess you can prove that can you? Seriously cycling nowadays is nothing like pre 2006. Lots of ups and downs, no superhuman performances...Dear Wiggo said:Ramon Koran said:What has indurain got to do with this, his dominance was in the epo era, he was blood doping and destroyed everyone for three weeks (plus giro).

NEWSFLASH: We are still in the EPO era.
Your welcome.
I was justifying why I think such is the case. Saying "yes" is hardly constructive.The Hitch said:Ramon Koran said:Yes, his decline in the third weak indicates that he is human and not blood doping to keep his level constant throughout the Tour.danielovichdk2 said:Anyone believe Froome has raced clean at this TdF ?

He asked for a simple "yes" or "no" answer, not for a "yes + random troll bait thrown in".
