Will Contador Be Juiced Up Again Upon His Return

[Fzotrlool]

I fully expect Contador to test positive at the Tour. Hope I'm wrong of course.

In some ways it would be better if it was Contador who had been tested positive.

The fact that they turned out the lights for Kreuziger just before the Tour made ​​me think of wrestling. An instructed drama where everything is agreed in advance. Contador is a trademark. They can not afford to lose him.

Judging by the facebook posts and comments in various British newspapers regarding Wiggins' omission from the TdF squad, and the fact that Froome only managed 5th in the BBC SPOTY despite both Cav and Wiggins winning it the previous years, suggests that protecting Froome isn't going to protect that cycling boom as you put it. If they were being populist, Wiggins would be riding for the TdF, not Froome.

That said a complimentary argument to that would be that Sky really need Wiggins to win the TdF because winning may silence a lot of the criticism. But British fans aren't stupid: the contents of the book, the TUE and the weak management at Sky not being able to harness Wiggins and Froome together has been noted, and the fact that Sky aren't doing what is expected of them to nurture British talent as a supposed quasi-national works team. 5 British riders out of 28 GT riders that Sky sent last year were British. So far this year it will be three when the TdF starts. The knives are slowly starting to sharpen, success may delay that for a while longer, but I'm surprised the Daily Mail hasn't called Froome a plastic Brit yet. They probably will when he starts losing.

Jimmy.

You are right that the British seem to love Wiggins over Froome, but UCI do not necessarily reflect the British people just because they have a British president.

According to Rasmussen, the doping at Rabobank was ignored by the UCI because the bank was one of the sponsors who pumped the most money into the sport. The same could be said about the Sky/News Corp. Murdoch is richer than the rest of the sponsors combined.

Parallels with Costa Rica

Putting the hurt on RK is similar to the pressure applied to CR after the Italy game. In the same way FIFA know that CR are juiced, the UCI also know that AC is planning something for the Tour de Yorkshire. The latter want a Froome win just as the former fear further advancement by CR. Looking forward to the drug fest tonight with Greece.

Can you supply a source?

the UCI let Rasmussen continue to race, even though they knew he was doping! Guess who gave the green light..

 

[Ferminal]

Doubt it was anything to do with the sponsor though. Incentive to not have bad news is inherent in the system.

One italian journalist does hardly count as real evidence. Also, he never tested positive, he did just missed some two tests.

Or am I missing something?

 

[SeriousSam]

They probably will when he starts losing.

I don't know. He won the Tour de France. Andy Murray has achieved permanent Brit status when prior to winning Wimbledon he'd be referred to as a Scot when losing!

It's in "Yellow Fever". I have it as a real book. Let me see if I can find the phrase in the book.

I came here to read about Contador. Whoops!

 

[the sceptic]

"To avoid the splits, I've done 500-550 watts which is not bad with 62 kilos in a flat stage.You have to have to respect these stages because everything can be ruined by a crash and it is important to avoid risks."

Good. Release the alien within you Alberto.

I hope Nibalis coach wasnt making it up when he said Contador can do 410 watts at threshold.

Interesting he said he is 62 kilo. I bet he is less. Slongo was conservative.

 

[Forunculo]

500-550 watts

That's a lie or a doping confession

 

[proffate]

That's a lie or a doping confession

he didn't say how long it was for, probably under 30 seconds at a time

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yeah, just while he was trying to keep up with monster Toso probably
