of all of them the results in the Giro point to either a clean race or a real dirty one with the top ten within 8 mins of each other. Massive gaps in the others which leads me to believe the winners of those were not squeaky clean.

However when you look at some of the riders in the giro then it doesnt make sense its totally clean. On J Rod coming close, well we should have known then he had changed his routine and was getting used to it and what he could get away with, and that certainly casts doubt on the winner and the rest......I give up .

What an exercise in futility. One of the lessons of the LA saga is you cannot tell.

Exactly....therefore all the other threads are therefore also exercises in futility,yet you still read them.

I just thought it might pass the time.

There's that Team Sky, dominating the year.

Pinot and Talansky.

Not that I in any way feel confident that they are clean, but I do feel that they are those, who have the highest chances of being so. IMO

Agreed, I would add Rolland and Gesink as well. And I actually believe that Cunego is PED free now!

I would say that I am more suspicious about Rolland than many others, and that I see Cunego as one who had been on the A program, but have stepped down to 'clean'.

I thought most here were of the opinion that Tejay van Garderen was clean. You don't think so?

Other threads are supposed to be based on evidence or decent hearsay. This is just shooting in the dark.

yep, but so is stating for instance that team sky are all doping etc.

Based on other threads I decided to go the other way and see who people thought would be most likely to be dope free.......as most of the names have been mentioned in threads this year as linked to doping then a discussion on who doesnt look like they are is valid. The evidence you mention in the other threads is at times based on performance then that also works the other way ,therefore the evidence for not doping is performance ..... probably pointless, but I have time on my hands.

But not Wiggins or Froome? Interesting ;)

Question is who is not suspect.

I suspect Wiggins and Froome, though I believe it is more likely they are clean.

Tejay and Evans. BMC did not dope this year. They received strict instructions last September to lay off. Ochs concerned about the USADA investigation.
