*doping started post-retirement. Dede told me.
no no, he does not qualify. (that is not NB a double negative, it is a pleonasm for affect) there is another list, Rogers qualifies for the Teflon Dopers list. NASA teflon list. pre: Columbia disaster. That was Bob Stapelton's fault.

51. Michael Rogers
even after testing positive he is still clean, and then has some impressive clean wins in GTs
no. think patient 0 wasD-Queued said:Good one.
Just making sure we include the significant players post O2 vector doping.
Virenque in many ways represents a proxy Patient 0. He stopped doping on his way to his record number of polka dots long before everyone else got religion in 2006.

You can't get more cleans than 2010 Flanders, PR Double. When you know the most logical explanation for the performance is there is a motor in the bike we have achieved full genius.

record of Plateau de Beille as an espoir. bread and water. but it was sour dough crusty bread.
pro career crashed like MH17 cos of those nasty doping ruskies and he was only on sour dough
it was a meta beating. his lactic numbers were better innit? and JV told us all about this when he was leader in about 2008 Tour where CvdV and Millar had really fuzzy blood numbers in the health tests so they got target tested this after their pre-tour camp in st moritz then some Saunier guys got busted for the myocera at the TdF. Think one was Cobo and Piepoli and Ricco.D-Queued said:62. Christian Van De Velde
Once upon a time on USPS there was this kid who wasn't allowed to play with the big boy toys.
At training camp, he up and went and beat Lance in a TT.
This was so humiliating, including that it was done without hot sauce, that Johan 'the eye' Bruyneel had to falsify his time.
Now that is proof you could even beat a doped Lance while clean.

It was a risky move, but I just went for it. Only Piepoli could come with me and he’s one of the best climbers in the world.
Microchip said:Hello, didn't know where to post some links, so am asking this question here. Please forgive the irrelevance wrt the thread's topic.
There's a 'General News' thread in the Pro Road Cycling forum. I'm not seeing the references to the Marco Pantani possible homicide investigation. Where's the best place for those links? Here in the Clinic??? It's News, I don't want to start a discussion thread.
