capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Sorry for creepin on this, but basically Wiggo is dopin' ?All the signs point to it. Team Sky have hired two doctors that have a notorious reputation. He's putting out performances that are slaughtering known, clean, world class cyclists like Nibali. His power data is mathematically impossible. He's not the tell though. The big indicators that something is going on at Team Sky are Chris Froome, and the Aussie duo of Richie Porte and Michael Rogers. Froome, gee, talk about donkey to racehorse, this guy was a nobody 11 months ago, about to have his contract cut. Suddenly he's the second best stage racer in the world. Richie Porte had a known dope doctor on his team last year but he was never this good. Michael Rogers hasn't shown this kind of form since 2006, where he was on a team that has now been disbanded because doping cases crippled it of its riders, sponsors and therefore finances.

Will be a real pity if/when he gets caught since he's been the poster boy of British sport all summer, having the nation on his back and all. capriccioso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap on august 3 at 11:42pm USA on couch watchin teen titans drinking chocalte milk wearing JT jersey2025 will be the year him and his cronies are busted. Assuming Froome doesn't sing the whole story before that date.Why 2025? It took Lance Armstrong 13 years to be brought to justice. Why that long? The International Cyclists' Union (UCI) are probably only behind FIFA in terms of corruption. They want English speaking riders to do well. They wanted an American to dominate the sport so they could crack the US market and make a packet of money. They've done that, so now they've hung him out to dry. They want British riders to dominate the sport so they can crack the UK market. Which so far they have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a real pity if/when he gets caught since he's been the poster boy of British sport all summer, having the nation on his back and all.When word comes out, I'll bet the UK press will just blame the 'dirty Kenyan' Froome. Or the Aussies.Team Sky's Directeur Sportif, Sean Yates, was himself expelled from the sport for doping. How about that. A doper 'honestly' managing a team. If he's done it before, for his own gain, why wouldn't he do it again? Especially when he'll never face charges, only the riders and the doctors will.At professional level, a directeur sportif follows the team in a car and communicates with riders, personnel and race officials by radio.The directeur sportif warns of obstacles or challenging terrain, updates the team on the situation in the race, and provides mechanical help. The car carrying the directeur sportif also usually carries a bicycle mechanic with spare bikes, wheels and parts. It also carries spare water bottles, food and medical equipment.In recent years the role has increased, in keeping with better team cohesion, tactics and communication and telemetry equipment. The directeur sportif can have split times, find where riders from other teams are in the race, and dictate orders to riders. This has made teamwork and tactics more important.That's what will be in Yates' contract, all he has to do if he's charged is to say "I never worked with the medical department, I had no idea this was going on, my contract didn't require me to look into that".

Selling goods, hosting races, selling TV rights, creating franchises, producing riders, and in general raising people's awareness and interest. Lots of money in that. If Wiggins' win creates another 200k cycling fans in Britain, that's 200,000 people using UCI products, driving up TV rights, etc., for the rest of their lives. And it does work. I only got interested in cycling because of an Aussie, Robbie McEwen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
