That must be some crazy reporting they got going on
They're better than ever, but they can't compete because doping is illegal in France.
Surely they should target the French because a) they won't find anything and b) they can tell the riders what they haven't found so the riders can start taking it and "level the playing field".
I find it weird that his YouTube sounds like a normal Englishman but his Twitter reads like someone whose first language is not English...what's up with that?
If his first language is Spanish who is speaking in the videos or writing the scripts? The patterns of speech sound like native English.
It delegitimizes the threat of doping purely by association to even mention those things in the same sentence as blood doping or other banned substances."Jean-Pierre Verdy, former director of the French Anti-Doping Agency, considers this massive use of drugs to be a form of doping, albeit a legal one."
"The investigation also highlights the availability of various drugs in the peloton. Cyclists have access to substances such as Voltaren, caffeine or paracetamol, often in the form of cocktails. An anonymous witness describes the "magic box", a box containing various drugs, freely distributed before races. The concept of the "bomba", a mixture of these authorized products, recalls the amphetamine cocktails that were once widespread."
no, NO. it does recall fck all. amphetamines are banned. voltaren, caffeine, paracetamol are legal. dear me some French journos are desperate. they'd better stick at looking for those invisible motors
Amphetamines weren't banned. It's 100% very much like when amphetamine-cocktails were widespread in cycling.no, NO. it does recall fck all. amphetamines are banned. voltaren, caffeine, paracetamol are legal. dear me some French journos are desperate. they'd better stick at looking for those invisible motors
I wouldn't know... I've never tried Voltaren.............
Verdy is really reaching for the drama. If it is legal, then it's not doping ... what a tool."Jean-Pierre Verdy, former director of the French Anti-Doping Agency, considers this massive use of drugs to be a form of doping, albeit a legal one."

Curious why an article on “doping” with non banned products has a lead photo of a pile of banned doping products?
Indeed we are!Verdy is really reaching for the drama. If it is legal, then it's not doping ... what a tool.
I mean, there is dodgy medication abuse going on, I have no doubt about that. Caffeine, NSAIDs, and Tylenol? C'mon folks, that is not going to make you a world beater. It'll help you feel you aches and pains less, and get you out of bed nicely, but otherwise?
Good grief, if those three are an issue, then over half the people I know are doping just to keep their bodies ticking along
No it's a voice actor, the real guy is Spanish and quite old, he is clickbaity but I can tell you his knowledge of cycling is extensive.
Not talking about Cycling Highlights but AI voices can be so hilarious in how they mispronounce names or words, and closed captioning is even worse! I feel for people who are truly deaf because the text they see on the screen is not what's being said, often it's not even close.
