There is no "clearing up once and for all".

There is absolutely no proof that Sky are doing anything illegal. If and when something does pop up, it will be made public by the press, not by any one particular Clinic member with some sort of magical "link".

As it is, the Sky talk belongs in the Sky thread.

Everyone please stay on topic.

Good of Berzin to use his mod status to try and get the last word.

I didn't bring up Sky - and I noticed you deleted my reply (yet again) - my new reply is in the mod thread.

To turn it, because he has no problem cheating with the team car for drafting why not doping:)

Well, lets see. For now its just drafting, when he starts taking gels inside the last ten km then you have convinced me ;)

Yeah those OPQS fans need to get back from their vacations ASAP. When they do, watch this thread grow tenfold.....

Personally I'm tired of always having to wait for the next big race before being allowed to pass judgment, all while OPQS plays with everyone in the classics for a couple of seasons in a row.

It's not Kwiatkowski. It's not Chavanel. It's not Terpstra. It's not Vandenbergh. It's not Meersman. It's not Van Keirsbulck. Hell, it's not even Ibarguren. It's all of them combined.

I mean before getting so excited about him being able to dominate Sagan on hills... no **** he's doping.

Maybe it's quiet because no one thinks OPQS are clean :eek: Also unlike that WT team from the UK they don't have a group of people to "defend" them, but you knew that already.

Because nobody is accusing them

Which i find funny and telling

19 pages in, i think you will find most believe doping at OPQS is top of their marginal gains list. Just like Sky's only no one is bothered defending OPQS.

But what did you expect OPQS to do after Sky upped the stakes?

I mean, you can't argue with the "ok they are doping let's talk something else" posts, sky haters are more precise and passionate, you have something defined to fight back.

If passion = willful ignorance then you are right.

OPQS never tested positive or something.........

Also due to the new OPQS marginal gains, pillows are so 2013! the new gains are

I heard the floors on OPQS bus's have been made by Quick step using all their top of the range stuff and using the latest technologies available on floor making. The smoothness of the walking inside their bus's translates to at least a 10% marginal gain on the road.

True story!!!


In all seriousness, lol Ibarguen. I wonder how last year would have gone if Boonen didn't have the ridiculous amount of bad luck he had. Terpstra was pretty weak but Stybar, Kwia, Vandenberg and Chavannel were very strong and they were supposed to be just support riders for Boonen.

With the way they are going this year they may even take their domination to the ardennes with Kwia, something they haven't done since Bettini!!

Certainly interesting reading the quick blurb and how OGE and OPQS have more recently been within < 1 second of each other in TTTs, swapping wins. But this time the gap was 11 seconds, despite OGE putting it all on the line.

The word, "stunned" was used, but not directly quoted, so it's more likely journalistic interpretation of body language. Would have been good to see hot seat footage as OPQS finished.

I didn't go back and look at their full CQ results list for TTTs, but it will be interesting if this leads to another rung in the preparatore ladder of marginal gains as the season continues on to the races with big bucks riding on them.
 
EnacheV you are effectively trolling and i am warning you one last time to drop it or i will have to hand you a ban as i have already warned you recently.

You know very well pretty much everyone on this thread thinks OPQS is doping and those poster's suspicions are well expressed in this thread.

You are just willingly ignoring that in order to get a reaction from those posters, AKA trolling.
