Setting aside the doping aspect of Annemiek's performance, one particular detail that has always caught my attention is her rigorous training ((( with male colleagues ))) which exceeds what her female peers do among themselves as far as training IOW Annemiek has published on SM many of her crazy training camps with male teammates & from other teams -some are quite brutal compared to what women do, but she's known for being able to keep up with the male riders for a good portion of the training sessions , which leads me to believe she has an advantage over her competitors by training with stronger teammates, so an adaptation has been created. Now, because training with stronger mates requires far more energy & fitness, that's where the "program" comes in .... and being familiar & friendly with male colleagues, male trainers, male training programs, etc may have led her to acquire more knowledge on how a well thought out "program" works & the know how, the when, where & how often , and the logistics behind it..
