Seems it’s either rife to the point of being universal, despite all the tests, or a problem of the past, mostly cleaned up now. Which is correct? And how can anyone know, if the experts don’t know?
Have you seen the size of The Yellow Wiggins chin?
Just to clarify my last missive(it’s not easy being an intellectual), performance enhancing drugs make your ching grow big, apparently.
Some users used to grow a beard to hide it and not make it obvious.

So that’s why Santa has a beard! It all makes sense now- the flying around the world in one night and the beard to hide his ginormous chin.
>The Yellow Wiggins chin
+ shifty eyes

I think a lot of the problem is some of the drugs used are naturally found in the body and surrogate markers such as haematocrit (for EPO) have to be used to detect their presence (which aren’t reliable and can vary between individuals). Then there’s the blood transfusions…are they still allowed?

Oh, and if you don’t know what to look for, it’s quite hard to test for it…
Bradley Wiggins taking 14 paragraphs to say “I’m really, really not doping”:
Trouble is, that’s what they all say, including those who really, really are doping.
It might have been more persuasive if he wasn’t playing the martyr and telling us he’s so often been beaten in the past by people who were doping. If doping really can be relied on to give the top riders a winning advantage, then when he himself apparently has a winning advantage, it’s only logical to expect that people will be muttering about drugs.
>or a problem of the past, mostly cleaned up now. Which is correct
The later.
You only need to look at the times produced in the mountains. During the peak of the drug taking, riders were climbing category 1 hills at about 30 km/hr. Nowdays it is at about 18 to 20 km/hr.
>>>performance enhancing drugs make your ching grow big,
And make your nose grow longer from telling lies about it? or was that only Pinochio?

Excessive growth hormone causes a condition called Acromegaly, which may be observed as enlarged jaw, forehead and hand bones. Athletes who want to improve performance in events where body weight is not a limiting factor have been known to abuse growth hormone to help grow larger muscles, since potential strength is directly proportional to muscle size in cross-section.
None of this is true of Wiggins.
Is WD-40 considered doping?

Only if it doesn’t move and it’s meant to.

So, like Viagra then?

It’d be easy to test for in Lycra…

I think Roy and HG had a Shervington Award for the 2000 ‘limpics.
There’s so many drugs in Cycling it’s a miracle Ben Cousins hasn’t taken it up.

I heard that he had taken up surfing…
…or something…

Don’t know about you but the mercuric oxide in the fluro tube would put me off using it to snort with.

Yeah, he’s not very bright.

I once saw a druggie crush and snort the guts of a catalytic converter for the Benzine. He’s dead now.

My neighbour used to shoot up vegemite. He’s dead now too.

Maybe his mum said it was ok.
The TdF committee will be rather pissed off. Anglo/celts in the top three out of four in the GC, and now this.
Merde.
