Teflon dopers

[thehog]

List of well known dopers who have never been sanctioned but have been obviously doping:

I’ll start:

Kloden
Popovych

 

[GJB123]

Way too easy this: Lance Armstrong!

 

[hrotha]

Menchov, LLS. As of now, Kolobnev is the mayor of Teflonton.

 

[L'arriviste]

It irritates me that the following were never properly caught and sanctioned despite long and distinguished careers of wrong:

Dr Georges Mouton - not so very far behind Fuentes, in my opinion
Dr José Ibarguren Taus - still working at Lotto after a litany of thinly-veiled doping blips
Alvaro Pino - Top dog at Kelme, Phonak and Xacobeo and then retired a rich man by most accounts

I have records for all three, but these are really the tips of the proverbial iceberg.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Cancellara

 

[bicing]

Cool thread.

Hnicapie
Hoogerland when he did that awesome Velta

 

[Stingray34]

Laurent Jalabert

 

[Maxiton]

Cancellara

Nah, you got it all wrong. That was just his bike.

 

[Benotti69]

Janez Brajkovic (SLO)
Alberto Contador (ESP)
Stijn Devolder (BEL)
Levi Leipheimer (USA)
Egoi Martínez (ESP)
Sérgio Paulinho (POR)
Michael Barry
Ivan Basso
Stuart O'Grady
Jens Voight

 

[The Hitch]

Frank Schleck is a very obvious one not yet mentioned.

but going with the spirit of this thread Cadel Evans and Phillipe Gilbert.

 

[GJB123]

Janez Brajkovic (SLO) - Suspicious because of the Bruyneel-link? Other than that I have not seen him mentioned that often in connection to doping.
Alberto Contador (ESP) - Currently under investigation, so he might mot get away unsanctioned as mentioned by the OP.
Stijn Devolder (BEL) - Why specifically him?
Levi Leipheimer (USA) - Good one.
Egoi Martínez (ESP) - Okay.
Sérgio Paulinho (POR) - Again the Bruyneel-link or is there something else I have missed?
Michael Barry - Again why?
Ivan Basso - served a doping related ban so should not be mentioned in this thread.
Stuart O'Grady - Any particular reason?
Jens Voight - See O'Grady.

The way you are going you might as wel mention the entire peloton. Or wait , it might be quicker to mention those not of the teflon doper kind. I think you misunderstood the intentions of the OP.

O'Gradys nickname was Teflon so he should be on the list!

 

[Havetts]

If Frank is to be mentioned then the king of from Zero to Hero - Andy Schleck should be mentioned too. Or I guess its just "peaking" correctly every single time.

 

[Berzin]

I will withhold judgment on Andy Schleck until I see how he time trials at the 2012 Tour.

For most people his association with Bruyneel is certainly enough to convict him in the court of public opinion, but if he rides that first time trial like Armstrong did in 1999 or has a similar performance, that would shut the door on his case for me.

Another Bruyneel team rider and a leader and you dont get to be leader on the Bruyneel team if your not on a program

Stijn Devolder (BEL) - Why specifically him?

Liberty Seguros-Würth

Michael Barry - Again why?

Rode for Bruyneel and T-Mobile. Enough said.

Stuart O'Grady - Any particulart reason?

Age 38 and riding for Riis since 2006. Also rode for the cofidis team during its doping scandal when only 2 of the team were named as non dopers and O'Grady was not one of them.

Jens Voight - See O'Grady.

Age 40 and still putting in the performances he is able to do????? Then there was his performances during the EPO age.

The way you are going you might as wel mention the entire peloton. Or wait , it might be quicker to mention those not of the teflon doper kind. I think you misunderstood the intentions of the OP.

Michael Barry
Ivan Basso
Stuart O'Grady

Is that because he rode for Bruyneel and in the 2006 Vuelta where he won a stage and the KOM? Other then that he doesn't done a lot since then.

 

[Mambo95]

Also rode for the cofidis team during its doping scandal when only 2 of the team were named as non dopers and O'Grady was not one of them.

He didn't join Cofidis until 2004, so he would only have been there a couple of months when the affair blew up.

O'Grady was bangin' it at Cofidis dopewise both performance & clubbing.
