Who will be caught first ? Froome vs Contador

[Rollthedice]

Imagine if one of the Sky doms gets caught and therefore Froome has to tone it down massively and then his results crash back down to 'normal' levels

Henao is in the process.

Henao is in the process. He was his top dom in Oman, paving the way for Froome to slaughter everybody on the Green Mountain.

If Contador gets busted this year it would have a massive implication on Sky. As in why would Contador need to dope to beat a clean Froome. Even the biggest Armstrong believers stopped believing when loads of his rivals/team-mates got busted.

Depends if he is busted from past evidence of Bruyneel or not though

 

[BigMac]

I'm gonna say they both test positive and are caught the day after going head to head on Hautacam in an epic Tour deciding battle. I predict 8.0 W/Km.

By then Andy Schleck is placed 3rd on GC and eventually gets to win Le Tour after they're both popped.


Wouldn't mind that scenario at all.

Only if Frank hasn't been busted before Froome and Contador.

Brailsford tells us that clean riders will soon be beating doped times. Some people are just going to accept that without thinking terribly hard about it.

Bl!mey! It's the science dagnabit! Don't try to twist things!

Or Andy. ............

 

[Jelantik]

You think Froome will get caught, even though you think he is clean?

How does that work?

He won't get caught. Because his fast recovery and super demolishing derby day in the mountain and - his peak form all year long is because the whole sky team is inhaling xenon gas for recovery. Good news is, it's not a banned substance. So he is not doping just a white cheating

 

[Puckfiend]

Neither will get popped. Doping stopped in '06......or was it '09? Hard to keep up with all the "peloton is cleans now" narrative.

 

[Catwhoorg]

I believe that Contador has already been caught, so he 'wins'.

This. He had an adverse analytical finding, and subsequently a drug ban.

 

[Archibald]

And how often do you beat your wife.

Yes or No, have you stopped beating your wife?

Neither will get popped. Doping stopped in '06......or was it '09? Hard to keep up with all the "peloton is cleans now" narrative.

That was 10 years ago wasn't it?

He won't get caught. Because his fast recovery and super demolishing derby day in the mountain and - his peak form all year long is because the whole sky team is inhaling xenon gas for recovery. Good news is, it's not a banned substance. So he is not doping just a white cheating

Yep.
But let's see what happens when they work out how to test/detect and ban its use

 

[msjett]

I voted for Froome (perhaps wishful thinking on my behalf)....Contador has already been caught...but it appears he is back to full strength...so you just never know

 

[BullsFan22]

Like some have already mentioned, Contador was caught already, plus his name was 'rumored' (not entirely sure about that one) to be in the Operacion Puerto, so him getting caught again would be no surprise, but stupid nonetheless. While I think Froome is doping, I am not sure he will get busted. It could be a case of protecting a British rider and showing the world that cycling has indeed 'turned the corner' and is now 'clean.' I have no illusions about doping anymore. I won't be shocked if a GT winner or at least a top 10 guy fails a dope test.

 

[melkemugg]

Neither. Sport is clean now.

 

[doperhopper]

Neither. Sport is clean now.

Also sprach Verdruggen: I can make anyone positive.
