GB Track Team

[andy1234]

so why feel the need to 'RE-tell all' at this particular point in 'suspicious GB Cycling' time ?

Who knows, maybe he had a crystal ball back in 2009 when the article was published in relation to a general health article.

Cunning........

From the Daily Mail article:-

'In 1998, Chris was told he was suffering from low bone density thanks to reduced levels of testosterone in his system coupled with a family history of osteoporosis.
'At first I just felt relief,' says Chris. 'I had been frustrated and puzzled for so long, but when testosterone deficiency was diagnosed it all made sense.
'Anyone with low levels of the hormone will struggle to keep up their stamina - as, among other things, testosterone improves endurance. I was pleased to understand what had been going wrong.
'I would always start races well, but after a few days my energy would be totally spent. Doctors told me my cycling did me no favours because excessive exercise can further drain testosterone levels....
persistently low level of testosterone.'
Although low levels of testosterone were noted..' Chris was recommended HRT. Testosterone supplements were banned in cycling and classed as a performance-enhancing drug,' he says. 'So I applied to the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in early 1998 to be allowed the therapy on medical grounds, supplying scans to support my case. They said they thought it would be fine, but then Festina happened.' ...During the final two years of his career he received treatment intravenously
Chris then focused on winning another Olympic medal but, with his testosterone deficiency not being addressed
''I've never had any other symptoms - I don't break bones easily or notice any effects of low testosterone,' he says.

This article actually deserves its own Thread.

How many times can Boardman get the word Testosterone into the article ??????

He even mentions 'intravenously'.................wow.. talk about opening the skeleton cupboard when you think something big could all come out in the future.

No *** Chris - thanks for the insight!

"a family history of osteoporosis" -

They've usually got a medical condition of their own but in Chris' case it's great uncle Stanley's fault ...

The word here is "Hereditary" - use a dictionary if you're not sure what it means.

It turns out that there was nothing wrong after all - phew there's a relief!

As Henry says in "Goodfellas" when his friend Tommy is whacked, "We just had to sit there and take it".

The British run the biggest crime syndicate in the World out of the City of London, as long as they are winning medals they are not hurting anyone, leave them to it. When they push for escalating war in the Middle East then it's time to get frustrated.

That was outstanding. now 4 golds in 5 events, these girls just broke w record for 6th time on the trot

And no one in the western media questions this?

Bet teamGB coaches will be offered big money by China to 'prepare' their Olympians for the next games.

could you imagine the absolute outrage if this was the spanish squad, or chinese squad?

More xenophobic crap from Buckle

Re Meyer, from what I've read, he's just not fast enough for a TP these days despite his prodigious talents elsewhere. (This actually bodes well for his GC ambitions.) The opening kilo from the GB squad is typically in the 62 second range, which is beyond the capabilities of many, even as 4th man.

I thought that was Durbridge. Meyer just got peeved that his pet events were taken off.

 

[blackcat]

Maybe, but you've got to be in it to win it! If you put Wiggo (in full track mode) in the GB quartet - replacing the weaker of Thomas and Kennaugh - then GB would go faster as well.

The Aussie quartet was well down at the 1k mark and had to work very hard in the 2nd k to get back in contention, which probably did for them in the latter stages, as it's much harder to accelerate to 57s/km pace after the start, as opposed to maintaining such pace immediately after the start.

no actually, the two best teams pursuiters on a GB team are Clancy and Thomas. Better than Wiggins. It is a different event to an IP.

Allow everyone to prepare on the track for 6 months and Wiggo to be at 78kg.

And the Aus have Cam Meyer, and Leigh Howard, and Goss.

then we have a race. They would go under 3'50" with the high level talents coming in, even tho it is a declining economy at that improvement...

Clancy only doing TP and not omnium, would be the best TP athlete. Thomas close behind, and Wiggins and Bobridge making up. Without seeing the numbers

 

[Wallace and Gromit]

no actually, the two best teams pursuiters on a GB team are Clancy and Thomas. Better than Wiggins. It is a different event to an IP.

Thomas has been struggling slightly this week. The GB schedule was re-jigged for the final to give him shorter turns.

If Wiggo came in, he wouldn't replace Clancy or Burke, as they are essential to getting up to race pace quickly. You'd have to think that Wiggo would be able to perform the Thomas/Kennaugh role more effectively than they can, given his past TP exploits and "engine" capacity.

Still, as the saying goes, "If my aunt had b*lls, she'd be my uncle" so it's all speculation what anyone else might have done.

 

[CharacterFirst]

Me finks much of the former empire / slave trade/ financial capital called City Of London, Opium trade etc etc would completely agree...

the myth of British " fair play" is and always has been just that, a myth.

lol. The Brits taking the high moral ground!

For start they are 4-5 countries pretending to be one! But my favorite is that their elite sports funding comes from gambling revenue! How morally corupt is that? What a joke.

The entire nation's revenue comes from gambling as in the Casino capitalism of the City of London.

(Casino is the Italian word for a house of ill-repute).
