He's a "good guy", but every single pro cyclist has the shadow of doping hanging over all of their good results. :-( Nice win for him in the sprint today at the TDFrance ! Thanks, I didn't know about that. (Currently sailing along the SW coast of Sweden, running with my son nearly every afternoon. This was after a week with 6 orienteering competitions in Sørlandsgaloppen, where I managed to win 2 of the stages, and still got beaten overall by a friend and co-worker who only won one stage. :-)) Terje -- - "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

No, they do not. First of all, the stigmata of being caught as a cheater here is so bad they would loose absolutely all commercial value. Secondly, we know that our anti-doping hunters stalk our top athletes pretty closely year-round, i.e. Marit Bjørgen had something like 30-50 unannounced (i.e. during spring/summer/fall training) tests in a single year. It would be _very_ hard to fit any kind of doping regimen in between all those surprise tests. Finally, afair, there's never been a single positive (A or B sample) test in any of the sports we care about. Terje -- - "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

I have way too much personal experiences, so I have my own opinion, but that's not the point anyway. This what you wrote Terje, can also be "excuse" for most of guys in road cycling. Including those who admitted doping usage lately, or who got caught. Someone like Erik Zabel probably had just as much if not more doping tests as Marit for example, and he was always clean And just short story. Few years back on Giro, Italian police had one of their raids, and they found some weird stuff with one cyclists, where doctors responsible for anti-doping didn't have any idea what are they looking at. This might give a bit different point of view to "you can't fit it between those surprise tests" PS: And no I'm not accusing anyone of doing anything bad Take care, Primoz |
