So which TDF riders would you bet, never cheated.
So which top 5 TDF cyclists would you choose as 100% PED free, transfusion free.....and cheat free...oh and if you got any answer wrong, let's pretend you'd lose your right arm.
Here is mine:
1) TERPSTRA Niki
2) DE JONGH Steven
3) HIVERT Jonathan
4) KLIER Andreas
5) HUTAROVICH Yauheni

My first thought on seeing the thread title was the guys at the very back of the pack. But I think I'll pass on answering because I don't like the odds on that bet. I kind of like my arm.

Anyone see a disconnect here?
Or are you proposing that these are all that's left after eliminating the first 175 dopers?

I don't think LeMond doped ... or if he did, he didn't use the good stuff because he got blown away when epo became available.

I may be naive, but I would doubt the following racers were into doping: Anquetil, Poulidor, Van Impe, Zootemelk, Coppi, Merckx, Ocana... How about Hinaut?
Of course, you have to define doping first... But if we are talking about blood doping, when would you say it started? 80s? 90s?

Oh yes, you are very naive. Doping at that time wasn't as efficient and sophisticated as it is today but they took all kinds of **** of that would be illegal now and some of these cyclists were actually even notorious for their drug use. Most people just didn't care much about it back then and controls and penalties were much more lenient.

Given that Merckx actually tested positive and was suspended, you might want to rethink that. (or did you mean Axel?)

No mention of "blood doping" specifically.
