Was looking for somewhere to mention this but could not be bothered to make a thread.

Consider me shocked.

Not possible to be as good as he is so consistently and over that period without taking some special medicine.

British cycling has a very large rug.

Team Sky drones out to defend his 'asthma'.

Seems that it now is coming out that the drug he took is one of the key masking agents that prevents other PEDs from showing up.

Literally the most pathetic sport in the world.

Haven't they not long finished sweeping the Wigginton issues under the rug?

Yarp.

British Cycling concluded british cycling had done nothing wrong and samples 'had gone missing' but no neglect had occurred in handling said samples.

It is like when political parties investigate MPs from their own parties and mind bogglingly conclude said politician has done nothing wrong.

Froome is being investigated by international cycling though.

Just seen this now.

Well it appears the state of cycling is better than it was in the noughties but extraordinary performances will always raise flags. Thing is that next to the failed drugtest he also had a miraculous recovery and pulled of something that people no longer thought was possible in modern cycling.

No matter how this ends, noone will believe him anymore..

A cheat just like Wiggins. Wiggins got away with it but there is no doubt in my mind he cheated. Mystery packages and developing asthma for one day only.

Froome was the next cog in the team sky machine. It seems he eventually needed extra help too.
