Why is Froome doing so much better than other dopers?

[Logic Al]

Froome’s performances last couple of years look very suspicious. Though if he’s doping he’s hardly likely to be the only one in the peloton. Yet, with the possible exception of Quintana, nobody looks like they can get close to him

So must be something more to it

Sky / UCI are working together to cover up failed tests (or similar)

After the fallout from Armstrong, what's in it for the UCI?

can only be a huge bribe from Sky to be worth the risk?

Doing more or less what the others are doing; however, like Armstrong, his physiology is more receptive/responsive than most ... so he reaps an outsized return.

 

[the sceptic]

I doubt its possible to climb as fast as Pantani/Armstrong with just microdosing and transfusions

 

[torkil]

I beleive Froome must respond better to the next generation PEDs than others, possibly due to that sickness.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

There are superresponders to doping. For some it helps more than others who are doing the same. Froome is probably a superresponder

Why wasn't Rupert Murdoch an option? He is the bringer of all evil in this world!

Well McQuaid doesn't seem as secure in his position as he was!

He is embedded in the UCI-option.

so part of the “aggregation of marginal gains”?

The answer covers options 1 & 3 & might add the some heavy cash flow going through all Race Organizers & anti-doping agencies together to look the other way. As in 99 with LA after the Festina scandal - They know the sport cannot survive a blow of that caliber after what took place with USADA , so they need to sell the world the idea of SKY being "clean" at all costs-even if the public ain't buying it at all.....

Sky/Murdoch empire and its connections. He has Armstrong's old permission slip to run wild.

yep, doping is all about who responds best in certain way. Dr. Leider's methods may just suits Froom perfectly, his resemblance to the CHICKEN is uncanny.

I know it is a small sample size so far ... but over 25% of clinic posters think Froome is clean? Really? I guess such prevalence of insane willingness to believe explains the continued success of the Nigerian Internet scams.

 

[Red Rick]

His BP is a mess due to the bilharzia, and due to this he can blood dope full throttle without being caught, for this reason, his the best Sky rider, and Sky riders have access to dope other teams don't know about

That's what i think at least

There have been a lot newly registred members lately...

 

[murali]

are you guys serious?

DB wants WADA to come and do whatever test that they want.
Accept that Froome is better than Armstrong and Marco Pantani(RIP).

Sky has the right kind of money and connections. So those who voted anything other than "Froome is clean" are going to get sued. Now, you know that sueing is the least painful thing that sky can do.

(Ohhh.. i am a poor person, so i didn't vote)

 

[kinggeitje]

Doping is the only reliable way to get an improvement over 10%, with just training and equipment the difference between froome and the rest should be less. So or the rest is clean and Froome uses doping, or Everyone is using doping, Froome just the better one.

I do think people want to believe he is clean, but it's just a game on which the UCI is always 2 steps behind. By the time they know how to trace one kind of doping a new kind is already developed. To much money involved.

Yes I noticed that too haha, dunno whether they are trolling or really believing lol..

A similar amount though believe it's a new magical mystery drug

There's one thing thinking Froome is doping, the results and cycling history speak for themselves, but even Armstrong was doing the same drugs as everyone else

People, quite rightly, scoff when it's claimed Sky have better training/doctors/equipment than the other teams and that's why they're doing better yet at the same time take as fact that they can do doping better

There are a lot of skybots recently.

This is pretty much what I think at this juncture. I think there must be some sort of connection between the increase and decrease of white blood cells in his body that obviously affects his red blood cell count, which in turn affects his performance.
