The Shlecks and doping

[killswitch]

They need to send some more money for training plans, or perhaps spend some time in the 'wind tunnel working on their positioning'. That said, maybe training harder, higher cadence, cancer and riding the whole route before hand is all that it takes?

Fire their soigneurs and hire some Belgian ones.

I think Andy needs to go see the Wizard of Oz to get what he needs.

how the **** did Frank get away with paying Fuentes... both those sisters are 100% fraud. They show their true ability year round and then turn upto the tour super doped.

Earlier this week Kim Andersen declared in the media that team Leopard Trek is clean. Clean, clean, clean. So I guess we can close this thread.

McQuaid throws a wet blanket on the clean party

Not so soon, he sez:

""During the Tour Andy Schleck spoke out about the number of tests he received in a 12-hour window – he claimed to have been tested three times in such a period. However McQuaid told Cyclingnews that the Tour runner-up was tested 3 times within 24 hours and that the amount of tests were justified but that their frequency should not be speculated over.""

Tested Schleck 3 times in 24 hours

Geee, I wonder why

He also said this:

“We can test any riders, at any time and the samples can go to any laboratory. It stands to reason that riders in the top five at the Tour de France will be targeted. That doesn’t suggest anything. There’s no indication of any doping, not at all.”

 

[Dead Star]

Yeah there was a guy on the old cyanide forum, who was French and did a bit of bike racing and said the story about Schleck jnr even then was that he was a charger.

Old Cyanide forum? Which member were you? HKK here.

Not related to doping, but an interesting take from Millar:

They truly are the biggest pussies for giving it away. Race to win, don't ride not to lose...

Millar's analysis of race strategies (or lack thereof) is actually very good!

As for doping, I don't think they are dirtier than any of the other guys, but heck I know for sure they are not clean.

They could certainly use a few shots of testosterone to see if they can resolve some of their "Acute nancy-boyism syndrome"

you're 100% correct. getting on the podium at a grand tour is the first sign of a *****.

they should show they're real men by *****ing about people online.

Again, a know-all here makes a statement without facts. Give us the evidence and we'll believe you.

Intersting interview from Dutch TV regarding the Schlecks and doping:

The brothers Schleck respond to probes on doping for Japanese television

Oops, should have viewed the post before. The link in my post starts about 12 minutes in at the time of the interview of Andy and his brother.

 

[masking_agent]

I'm sure they will and get a new < ahem> "program" and will be taking off like jets in tour mountain stages in 2012. I'm anticipating witnessing something similar to 1999 Sestrieres where a certain rider annihilated the peloton.

they'll need to perform like F1 cars in the TTs to win the 2012 TdF.

 

[masking_agent]

and if its the only big tour they ride, they will and smoke the entire the peloton

i wish we still where in the 90`s... i would give 10 years of my life to see Contador vs Andy, with their bodies so full of peds that you can see smoke coming from their wheel tracks

I'm not a Schleck fan by far, but I am watching ESPN classic and they are replaying the stage where AS skipped his chain and that whining little *** AC attacked him. When AC is not whining about how people are being mean to him, while is is all doped up, he is being blatantly classless.

The real talent now is showing, and no coinidence AS is better once the whiner got away from Bruhneel and the heat of investigations/suspensions got into the air.

Uhmmm, WHO attacked first? If you draw your sword and drop it, expect to die......

Better watch the video replay, not the dream in your head

Clown, I said I was watching it right at that moment on ESPN classic. AS attacked first? Well stop the presses and let me go get a refund on that lazer surgery I had a few years ago. That has nothing to do with anything except you identifying with a whiner and knee-jerk defending him.

Better fill in that refund claim quick-smart, AS had launched the attack about 10 secs before he mis-shifted and the chain got dumped.

Why should've anybody waited is beyond comprehension - IT WAS A RACE, not a training jaunt.

Ah good, for a few weeks there I thought we were past the chaingate affair. Good to see it rear its ugly head in its 17th thread.
