Now that's funny. Straight up troll. Even the Froome fans have to admit that's a good one.

A picogram is a very small amount, a millionth of a millionth of a gram.

50pg of Clen vs 40mg of horse steroids.

You can do the math.

By my pseudo-math it looks like Froome was the one that juiced up the most.

Yeah, I know how to to arithmetics. The thing is, the rules are clear. You can't have banned substances in your body. Contador had. And the UCI tried to cover it up.

And since you brought up maths. Do you know how many tests they do for clenbuterol and how many turned up positive?

'Only once did clenbuterol show up in 83,203 animal samples tested by EU countries in 2008 and 2009, says the European Commission's directorate for health and consumer policy. Spain tested 19,431 samples in those years; none was positive for the drug.'

Now you can do the math. How likely do you think it is that he ate contaminated food?

Fromme however, suspicious as he may be, is not a confirmed doper. Contador on the other side has a rich history.

2005 - Good rider, but nothing that would suggest he would ever climb as Armstrong

Discovery 2007 - Climbing faster than Lance and Basso
Discovery ends late 2007 - None wants to hire Contador (wonder why :rolleyes:) So he had to join Bruyneel to Astana
2009 - Medical waste story with Astana during the 2009 Tour
2010 - Got caught during the Tour

Vuelta 2012 and Tour 2013 way worse performance than all of his other GT:s. And no, you don't loose all your form from a 6 months ban. Scared of getting caught again, much?

Also, claimes to surround himself with anti-doping people.

Has ridden for Bruyneel (Armstrongs DS), Martinelli (Pantanis DS) and Riis, a donfirmed doper himself who also coached both Basso and Hamilton, another two dopers.

Yep, he seems like a clean rider to me. :rolleyes:

Yet your clean Froome kept beating him?
Funny, that. :rolleyes:

Yeah, go ahead and show me where a said was clean.

Now when we established that you are trying to put words in my mouth, why can't you explain exactly why it would be impossible for a clean rider, Froome or anyone else, to beat Contador?

And no, I am not saying Froome is clean or that a clean rider can beat Contador. I am saying you don't know **** about it. So unless you give me a scientific explanation, I will maintain that.

My bad, I put one clean word in your mouth, sorry. :)

I'm pretty sure there are other threads to talk about that...

Realistically it's lots of Clen and blood bags

vs

some highly effective stuff we don't know about or carte-blanche granted by UCI or both plus every other trick in the book (the marginal gains doping approach)

Having seen Henderson's latest twitter outburst against Cav, Froomey may have a point about him:eek:

Could you imagine how Cavendish would react if someone called him a '**** father'. I look forward to Cav hiding on the OPQS bus like he did when a Skil Shimano rider(van Hummel or Rooijakkers) wanted a chat during the 2009 Tour de France.

I didn't think Contador had paid any mind to Froome's comment, but these coffee pictures are getting more and more deliberate.
there was no doubt the first time that it was a deliberate poke at the three amigos passage from the climb.

Great trolling of The Climbers
agreed.
contador showing quite a bit more subtlety than froome.
caballero meets clown.

We haven't seen the last of these coffee pictures. Contador must be feeling really confident that he's going to light it up in July with all this poking the bear business.

And when I say bear I mean alien.

I think if Alberto went through all the trouble to put his kit on to drink some coffee it should count as a training day.
I he was just dressed in cutoffs and t shirt then no. Or still in his pj's then also no. That would be trolling then.

Henderson by taking the feud to twitter has shown a complete lack of class, he is as crazy as Michelle

Alas Cav & Hendo spoke and realised that it was a fake message and all is well.

Some people are able to settle their issues with communication.

let me get this straight - to defend Froome's honor the sky troll needs to come on here and slander Henderson? for an issue Henderson might be having with Cavendish?

that's some bottom of the barrel stuff right there.

40 mg per day! :rolleyes:

That's a lot of horse steroid. Chris "I don't know how to be any cleaner" Froome must have been jacked to the eyeballs!

50pg of Clen would do just about.... nothing.

How is a suspicious rider worse than a confirmed doper...

Just so I understand, Froome is only suspicious because he's never tested positive? What year is this again?

That Contador is a class act on and off the bike.
