TEAM SKY

Endurance sports it helps to be asthmatic

Carrots are, apparently,  a  good source of Stamina.

if team sky went into horse racing they would never get a license

Their fecking satelite dish packed up in the storm here just as G was about to cross the line.

Xenophobia spilling out now Wiggins/Froome have been exposed.

coolmore been on the phone to team sky for any help they can give

brailsford must be desperate to go into the press conference and say this is  really A clean winner, LOL, unfortunately for G he,ll be treated with suspicion because of events concerning wiggins and froome

I couldnt give a rubber duck
Imo there are two classes of doping
There is the stuff that Lance was doing which ruined the sport.
Then there is the stuff that sky are getting away with which is playing WADA rules close to the edge.
If WADA are too woolly to outright ban asthma drugs then what the fluck do they expect?
Funny how serena williams gets a free pass for her theraputic use exemption for asthma but the cyclists are treated like p@edos

G aint got asthma

imagine doing that hill climb if u really suffered with asthma

I got quicker at 32 didn’t you?

Think he'd have been quicker in his track days tbh

Exactly joins the ranks of several sportsmen whom manage to go faster in their thirty’s.

He was quicker in 2012

30s are the new 20s

I can almost guarantee 99% of professional cyclists take some form of medicinal medication if not something more potent...they have done since the inception of the Tour De France
Of course it is dishonest because so many appear to have medical notes for asthmatic problems which defies mathematical logic for the population as a whole
I wish the sport could be drug free but it will never happen...I suppose the only rationalisation is if they are all (almost all) on something then there is no real advantage to be gained (its a bit spurious to say that but the problem has never been fully addressed by the sport)

An extract from Wiki which I'm sure most looking at this will already know anyway -

Drug-taking in cycling predates the Tour de France. "It existed, it has always existed", said the French reporter and author, Pierre Chany, who followed 49 Tours before his death in 1996.[4] The exhaustion of six-day races on the track was countered by the riders' soigneurs (the French word for "carer"), helpers akin to seconds in boxing. Among the treatments they supplied was nitroglycerine, a drug used to stimulate the heart after cardiac attacks and which was credited with improving riders' breathing.[5] Riders suffered hallucinations from the exhaustion and perhaps the drugs. The American champion Major Taylor refused to continue the New York race, saying: "I cannot go on with safety, for there is a man chasing me around the ring with a knife in his hand."[6]
