I've been following Basso on the Mapei site, and noticed something strange. Up until the Giro last year he was posting training, racing, and blood test data and then after May last year...nothing.

Why not?

EDIT, that's nothing until feb 2011

Hmm, I seem to remember checking his Giro 2010 numbers, but that was a long time ago.

Haven't you heard? There is no more doping in cycling. It is impossible to get away with it. Transparency is no longer needed.

Basso is no longer part of the 1%. And, he never was. Yes, he was borderline, storing up all that blood just in case.

But, that blood is all gone now. It is only the bad dopers like Ricco that remain. The kind that will blood dope themselves. This is proof that we have won the war.

Hi Dave

hmm, I think I get the drift of this. Was getting optimistic, but then looked below and saw reality.

cheers

Love the thread title. Like blackcat says, transparency disappeared when people started doping.

Don't bother waiting up. It ain't coming back.

So I went back to the Mapei site after figuring following a rider was dead and Note that Basso posted his 2009 data and 2011, but no 2010.

Nothing happened to transparency. First, you were looking at a wall, but it had writings on it (supposedly true blood values), now you're looking at a wall, but it's surface is empty. The transparency of the wall remained the same...
