Doping
My view on doping in professional cycling:
Team Sky and the majority of the other teams are still doping. Nothing has changed.
And because of this Lance should have his TDF wins re Instated. I’m not even a big Lance person. But let’s quit fooling each other. Doping still exists.

Well, innocent until proven guilty is the bedrock of Western society.

Yes
but we all knew Postal was doping. It took a long time to prove it.
You also must realize how corrupt Europe and the UCI are compared to the US of A

The TdF is over for another year so the Nastycar and Podcast Guy's fans come out to play.

I'd be willing to believe Froome is doping, if there was any proof.
For now I just go with the theory that he's simply better than anyone else at 3 week tours. He's not Superman though, he was (to me) clearly not "in shape" to win the TDF this year after a kick ass performance in the Giro.
But he did podium.

Still, I give Froome the benefit of the doubt. It's only fair, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a big fan of his but he's a great athlete.
He has a great team too - they're able to crush anyone on most climbing stages and until a team comes up with a way to beat them at their own game, Team Sky will continue to win.

That LA is banned from cycling for life ... can't even complete in an Ironman event, pretty much tells you he's being punished for the sins of all pro cyclists-- apparently before and after.

His podcasts are rather interesting (he gives details about the TDF that the average follower may not know.
I recommend listening to some some of them just for the learning the sport aspect of it.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out Froome is doping but it isn't blatantly obvious as it was with Armstrong.

Do we have more than 2 TDF winners (yellow in Paris) that were not using PEDs in the last 25 years?
Note - I did not say cheaters. These were PED users, sometimes legally, sometimes not.
Froome - yup
Wiggins - yup
Contador - yup
Lance - yep
Ullrich - yep
Indurain - yep
Evans, Sastre - no evidence.
Merckx - yep
Thevenet - yep
Lemond - likely due to being shot and skin evidence.
When 9/10 used PEDs on record, I think it is true they are generally used by the winners.

That's an odd sense of justice you have there.

It certainly isn't odd - at least in CA.

It was the uci that also is caught up in this mess. They should crack down harder.
