The Clinic - TDF 2014 Thread

The Doctor Is In

Welcome, all physicians, clinical pharmacologists, sports scientists, couriers, blood donors, skeptics and assorted hoi pollio to The Cleanest Tour Ever (Patent Pending).

Stage 1 - No positives; no mutant alien performances; no electric motors discovered inside frames; one (completely expected) Cav brain explosion; one 6th placing from the malnourished Man of Schistosomiasis...err...Steel.

Apart from Kittel, the obvious winner of Stage 1 was the people of Yorkshire. Wow!

Anyway, let's bring on Stage 2. Time for a double espresso and honey finishing bottle!

The time for pre-Tour predictions has passed us by, Mark. The time for Marvel Comics performances by super-humans in brightly coloured lycra is now upon us!

[Cab Sav for me, BTW.]

The biggest doper has left the race...

I still see Contador there.

Unidentified Team Sky spokesman just on TV quoted as saying that one of their new performance-enhancing advances was to introduce vegetable juice to the riders - so that they could get all of the vitamins and nutrients, without having to eat all of the heavy parts.

And, no - I'm not kidding. LOL!!

So, Sky's marginal gains now includes: vege juice.

 

[ebandit]

Genuinely laughed at how idiotic this is

 

[Froomster]

Uh oh! Sagan needs one of Sky's vege juices.

 

[Froomster]

Somebody's given the peleton bad gear. Seems to be causing falling-over-for-no-apparent-reason syndrome.

 

[Froomster]

Horner - smashed, bashed and crashed. 42 yrs old, yet fights himself from the back to the front of the peleton. Now, THAT'S a super-human effort.

 

[Froomster]

Froome handy, one interesting seated attack. Blizharia Boy moves up one place to 5th.

 

[D-Queued]

Phil: "And that's a categorized climb:

Paul: "No, it's not"

Love it.

Dave.

 

[Froomster]

And Phil let his displeasure be very well known by saying nothing at all for 2 or 3 minutes afterwards, and leaving Paul to fill in the very obvious silences.

Oh, precious!

Thats abit unfair on Sacha, what evidence have you got that he is a doper?

 

[noddy69]

Sagan.....Peter Sagan.....pretty good at going uphill with the best and has a right ol silly haircut.

He works primarily after the "Johny Foreigner"-profile when judging dopers. No worry. He have been vocal in the Tennis-thread and Football-thread, wonder why they went so silent, so suddenly

Needless to say, catching dopers regardless, are not high on the priority-list. Old School McQaid if you wish.

This is the Clinic - commenters don't need evidence, just unfounded speculation and gossip!

 

[RobbieCanuck]

I see you couldn't repair you lack of logic, so you just made your horn louder!

Do tell.

What lack of logic

Nor apparently do they need to know the difference between evidence and proof...

This is what makes the clinic so entertaining. Athletes guilt or innocence regarding PED use isn't the point. The clinic would be two pages long if it where. The process of righteously gossiping and speculating is where the fun is.
