I can't wait until he complies with the wishes of WADA and agrees to partake in tests, to their standards.
One of the mountain stages left everyone aghast, at the sheer distance between himself and the rest of the field.
The only other time this was so obvious, was when a certain rider for the US Postal Service team was steamrolling every competitor, as he was drugged up to the eyeballs!
I miss reece. He made me laugh... a lot.

I honestly believe most of the modern peloton are clean these days. Anyway, at least cycling actively takes as much action as possible to prevent drug cheats from getting away with it. Cycling takes much stricter testing regimes than other sports. Take Djokovic was example, top tennis who says he hasn't been tested in a year? the spanish courts who throw out blood samples of tennis players, footballers, athletes etc. If cycling is going to be constantly linked to drugs (and the it deserves all the pad press it gets because it is a fact that right from the tours 6ookm stage creations they have been taking drugs), then do the same with other sports who don't take it seriously as cycling and don't bother with serious testings.
But on the tour, a great tour, so many great moments, got to see it in life this year. Brilliant experience, Alpe d'Huez was buzzing atmosphere.
And Galvin on Froome, he has repeatedly showed he was capable of doing that on climbs over the last few years with his improvements he's made through the Vuelta and then into the tour last year. And its no surprise that Sky can condition their athletes better than everyone else. Their budget is much greater than all the other teams so have greater research so know how to get an already top athlete to such a high level. And when you are in a severe endurance race like that, your peaking of performance and conditioning is was separates them.

the UCI is 'ruled' by a devious man in Pat McQuaid. They have cleaned their act up somewhat since the Armstrong years but it's still filthy as hell.
All the same, the Tour is a magnificent thing.

I can't name names because these days, they'll attempt to sue your arse (and the Tories killed free legal aid) so can I just say, all these sports and sportsmen/women are 'dirty'.
They wouldn't be if we just accepted that certain drugs enhance performance and if everyone was using them then all we are trying to establish is who (with drugs) is better than those who have none (or the same or better).
Drugs in sport is now a joke so better that we begin too laugh at it!

Well, to be honest Inni, it's not a joke. These people are killing themselves. But it get the jist of what you meant.
The fact that the organizations are covering it up, is the appalling thing. In fact it's encouraged.

Carl seems to hate every sprinter that was as good as him. He tried to do an Armstrong on the athletes who got caught.
Physique like those guys can't be natural.
Look at Bale's legs! eek!

Footballers, individually, no doubt are using all kinds of 'enhancements'. But it's a team sport, requiring high levels of organisation and collective skill, so it is that much more difficult to 'enhance' than individual endurance sports. But I am not naive - there is no such thing as a professional sport that is not dirty!
Our drugs are better than yours - and we know how not to be caught out (until we are caught out and then we'll denounce our heroes as we are expected to!)
Cynical and corrupt, the very definition of modern sports!

it's more betting scams than drugs, which influence games!
