Ulle was from the GDR and started for Dynamo berlin youth in 1987. Stasi Documents (secret Police) shows that they started doping in general from range 12-14. Maybe he got the first growth hormones without knowing it
I really like this channel. One of the hardest things to do as a fan - or even in life - is to balance the good and the bad in people. Such a perfect 8 minute encapsulation of that dilemma.
Please ignore the haters and keep the videos coming. Though you may be accused of cynicism, black humour and speculative gossip…your content is still very well-informed and displays your impressively deep knowledge of the (relentlessly) dark history of cycling. I just have to come to terms with my personal paradox….a great love of pro cycling alongside an assumption that my current heroes are probably dopers, just as nearly all my old heroes have turned out to be. 🤷♂️
@@jasonjohnson9072 Agreed. Im surprised they still have only 15k subscribers. I think a lot of people just prefer to live in la la land - it’s nice and cosy there.
@@hisdadjames4876Indeed. For many years I've concluded that there's no prizes for being correct in any walk of life, plenty prizes for acolytes though.
Pogi will never "test positive" as long as he is performing at a high level. He is too valuable to the sport for the powers that be to allow him to be banned. Maybe more protected than Lance.
A predominantely performance sports like cycling tends to be far more vulnerable to doping than Golf or Ping pong ever will. When they reveiled doping during the Ullrich era, it had been according to their decission to protect other world sports and hang cyclists instead. Because doping was so frequently used by all kind of professional athletes, whose physics count to a certain degree to their overall success. As knowledge from doping in cycling also gains for other sportsman, like footballers etc.
Yeah mate, that's the fact. We all pretend to live by a fake set of rules, in every facit of life. At least this isn't conspiracy theory, it's based on facts
I have a true story concerning the 200X Vuelta a Tachira, the UCI, and their knowledge of not only epo use but also the South American connection for purchase of said doping products.
@@cyclinghighlights , the race takes place around San Cristobal near the Colombian border where there are 47km long climbs and beautiful Bravarian / ex- nazi farms. I was eliminated for missing the time cut by less than 2 minutes. So when the race left the next day, I was stuck at the hotel by myself. The place was a ghost town so I went into the hotel kitchen to prepare myself a meal and started rummaging around the refrigerators and lo and behold, I stumbled upon a stash of hundreds of individually sealed syringes of epo floating in large bowls of ice/water. Hundreds. The foreign teams would come to Tachira to stock up on cheap Columbian / Venezuelan epo apparently because there was waaay more than necessary for just this one race. I took a handful, threw em' on the ground, stepped on them, then left the refrigerator door open. Because fuck cheaters. Cheaters are never real Champions and real Champions never cheat. No excuses, like real Champion Ted Smith (my former coach) used to say Going forward since about half the field was eliminated on time, we'd set off before the race start and ride the race course; better training than doing the race. A grand adventure. The UCI / Race Commissaire both knew and gave exactly zero F's. True story.
You choose in the comments, what video do you prefer? a) White Kenyan Dauphine b) Wiggins in bankrupt c) Mix of option a) and option b) in one magic video
Exactly, EXACTLY right! There’s no way UCI, ASO, etc, will ever bust superstars in their prime. As long as the riders perform a good show, the managing authorities will absolutely turn a blind eye. Case in point: Major League Baseball in the 90’s. See, the players went on strike in 1994, which really pissed off the fans. MLB needed a way to bring back excitement to the sport. Enter Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, two of the most doped players ever to play the sport. Both were skinny speedsters when they entered the big leagues in the late 80’s. By 1998 both had bulked up to the size of football linebackers, and they lit the nation on fire with their exciting competition to see which could break Roger Maris’ single season home run record, which had stood since 1961. The competition got so popular that TV programming would break into regularly scheduled programs to show each and every at-bat of the two sluggers. Baseball was exciting again, and MLB cashed in. It was only years later, in 2005, that the league took any interest in looking into drug use after heavily-doped slugger Jose Canseco named names. At first MLB laughed at the accusations, but eventually, like Floyd Landis, everything Canseco claimed was found to be true. But by then, MLB had repaired the damage done by the 1994 strike so all was well.
Also it wasn’t the UCI and Tour de France that busted Armstrong, he was great for them, bringing fans and ratings. People forgot it was the US agency that brought him down.
Tyler Hamilton got the Canseco treatment too. I'm sure everyone who called him a bitter cheat trying to cash in with his book was just lining up to apolgize later, right?
Dear Doctor Cynicalhighlights I've taken the plunge and have subscribed to your channel. Your journalistic commentaries are cleaner than Poggi's test results, more powerful than MDP's 1900 watt attacks. You have left Phill Ligget gasping at the bottom of the stairs to the broadcast booth! Juiced to the gills on sarcasm cocktails you ride circles around you Bob Roll!!!! I've been following European Professional Cycling for nearly 50 years. Here is the USA I only had International Cycle Sports Magazine and had to wait until August to find out who won the Spring Classics... but now I have you!
love these videos because I used to really believe that after Lance being found out to be doping that the sport has been cleaned! I used to really believe Vingegaard and Pogi Van Ert and MVPD to be so so good that I got suspicious....this is a great channel
I would not have a beer with LA as he seems a vile person, but he was simply and obviously the best rider of those who doped. So yes he was allowed to win, but he still had to finish ahead of the other dopers.
Of course they do. If it was clean we'd be watching people huff and puff up mountains in stages half the length. Its an entertainment product at the end of the day. Performance enhancement has always been necessary in order to compete in such a hard core gladiatorial sport.
track and field athletes getting down tested before big events from the own Associations. they just conceded and try to keep it relatively safe. same here
Whoever runs this channel has a deep knowledge of cycling! Who is it? My favorite cycling channel! Also Dracula gianetti does look like Dracula! 😮😂😂😂 would not want to run into him in a dark alley lol
Ullrich won the 1993 Commonwealth Bank Cycle Classic in NSW Australia (way harder than the Tour Down Under) over 9 days at just age 19 and the youngest rider to ever do so .. the alarm bells should have been ringing back then.. !
David Lappartient doesn't like dope tests coming out positive as it's bad for Sponsors. I'm sure he enable Teams, for a price, to dope at different levels with the Blood Passport. Jumbo's money has gone so they can't have the three Tours this year, Decathlon can have lots of individual stages, Alpecin can have the Classics and have the old Quick Step deal and I'm sure David has lots of other deals using the Passport system.
As I have said for a longtime, we single out riders, when reform needs to start with the organization. Just like how the IFBB knew that bodybuilders were doping, supported it, but acted like they didn’t.
Well, I stopped cycling and watching cycling because cycling is a joke. The only way to stop doping is to have a total independent body taking the drug tests and if someone test positive then ban the cyclist for life. Also a big call to sponsors, stop sponsoring cycling all together. To be quite honest I don’t even care about the sponsors in fact I never in bought good or services from them.
I have loved biking for 50 years and have known the riders were taking performance enhancing substances the entire time. They'll always be one step ahead of testing.
Excellent. A video for the pro-cycling history archives. Why did Jan need to dope when he was marketed as being the product of East German selective breeding? He apparently already had naturally produced EPO.
I still think vinguegaard is way more on drug than pogacar (i don't say pogacar is clean). He come from nowhere and he beat easily 2 times in a row pogacar at the tour de france. The problem are also those coming from nowhere or never have good results and suddenly they decimated everybody like that so easily...
Are you actually giving away the van rysel bike? Lots of social media accounts say they’re giving away something but a lot of them never end up handing out anything. I somehow trust you though, but will you post proof when you have given the bike away?
I feel sorry more for Jan Ullrich than for Armstrong. Ullrich didn't bully fellow riders or those in his immediate entourage like Armstrong. However everybody is Guilty. Certainly the coaches,the sponsors, the teams even the spectators. The pressure is enormous in achieving what is let's say super natural performances. Especially with the biggest of the 3 week stage races The Tour de France. Spectators want to see the winner of the General Classification win in a Big Way. Putting number 2 and the rest to shame. Looking at number 1 as if he was a "god" And the money and sponsorship put enormous pressure on the Team to win at All Cost. Everybody is Guilty. It's only when it is proven that the winner has doped himself that the team and everybody else condemns the cyclist and spits him out. Judging him for cheating when it is the system that is at fault for making him that way. As long as you don't get caught you're a good soldier. If you do get caught then you're on your own. F...king hypocritical
Pro cycling has used various methods of performance enhancement from day 1. Just watch and enjoy or don't. I don't understand the obsession with continued cynical dissection.
Oh Ian Ulrich, a total shadow of is former self. My first cycling idol, even after the King of Dopers rise to fame. I still pushed for Ulrich to win, year after year, but we was destined to become the best of the rest... I watched him win LIVE here in Lisbon, next to my door step, the Worlds ITT and for me, he is a Legend. But like all legends, they all must crash... and burn. He burned out like a campfire, put out by drunk teenagers with hot beer... What a shame. Now he tries to survive, capitalizing on his dirty deeds, what a shame...
I've tried it, not a full jar like Jan, its dope. After again hearing of the practice from the commentators of the TDF about Jan's take on it, way back in the late 1990s-early2000s.
Watched a few videos of this channel and think its perfectly fine and valuable to be skeptical about todays race performances. However: Like some people want to believe that all cycling is clean, this channel cannot cope with the idea that many riders might be. It's kind of sad that you put so much energy into making people belief that everybody is a cheater and if you lack evidence, you make up information. E.g. at 1:38 you tell that Jan Ullrich talked about how crucial his doping was in that interview when he really talked about his fable for museums (ua-cam.com/video/L4_k_QKfdoU/v-deo.htmlsi=-ZQtzj35fFuB795s&t=1167). How am I supposed to take any Information from this channel seriously if you bluntly make up stuff? At best you are just poorly informed, at worst you really think, making low credibility cynic videos stirring up hopelessness and doubt will solve the issue of doping (which is indeed a problem, no doubt about that).
Its true. Couldnot win the tour without using something. Could ride it clean and maybe finish respecable. The miles or kilometers along with the intensity or speeds . Also altitude gain for 3 weeks is almost incomprehensible. Any body who knows cycling might agree this is the hardest race there is.
A team that strikes me similar to Telecoms rise in 6 months is VF Group - Bardiani. Not sure about that team but they came out with guns blazing in the Giro. Who will be relegated this year and what team will come in their place? UNO X has done some amazing things since they came in to the GT's. People fail to realize the pressure on these teams to be invited into the GTs and the pressure on the riders to get a new better contract. That oressure is enough to make a ridwr or a team to do ANYTHING!!!! 🤘🏻🏴
Great video and I always are saving this to my son. All the top riders today are dopen, just like 20 years ago, just like 30 years ago, etc. and it is tolerated. Because cycling has to sell and riders who are riding averages of 33 and top on day 1 and worse the next day don't sell
Have you done a doping video on Merckx, the guy was high as a kite and as big a bully as Armstrong whilst getting DQ'd from four races incl 3 big monuments at a time when dope testing wasn't even that much of a thing. They'll all on it, same as athletics
At last the truth we all knew . Not only the world' s cycling governing body , but the national federations are responsible. As for me , i really don't need a new bike - I have 3 already - but I'll never say no to another one ...
Like in any sport, you're either entertained and engaged by their spectacles and stories or you aren't. And if 'fairness' or playing by the current rules is a key part of your ability to enjoy what you're watching ('is it believable, or have they cheated 'my team/rider' out of victory etc..') then I don't know why anyone watches any sport. It has been proven, decade after decade, that there will always be those willing to break the rules at all levels. Money and profit rule. Just enjoy the stories. Enjoy the spectacle and enjoy the aftermath when the covers are pulled off by outside agencies or jealous teammates etc.. It's part of one long, never-ending saga and fortunately for us, cycling provides SO much of it that we can have dedicated UA-cam channels like this one for it!
It's not like you take a pill and you are a top athlete. We all enjoy cycling, but in most professional sports doping exists. Watch the tour or not. I can only recommend, don't focus on the hate. Just get your bike and ride ;-)
I'm from belgium but i lived in france now, olympic coming in a a month in paris (what a city) i don't trust any american or french athlètes participate in the future olympic, it will be so much hypocrisy but the people are so nationalist i'm sure american and french will be proud of the "positive" results...
This is why I find it difficult to watch the TDF.Much as I love cycling,I can't stop thinking every time someone breaks away on a mountain stage,"he must be doped to the eyeballs" I mean look at many of these riders,they are so skinny,with no visible muscle,and yet they keep going day in,day out.
Doping is part of the game...if , back in the day i was given the ultimatum of get with the program or you may as well go home....id ask which vien do you want. Idgaf about doping in cycling. Yep in an ideal world thered be none and the sport would be better for it...but its not an ideal world. If youve rode and trained your backside off to make it to the pro peleton only to be faced with reality youve got a decision to make.
The greatest of all time! In a world without doping everybody would have seen it even clearer. Please do more about Jan and how world cycling and the culture of doping stoped him to win the Tour 10 times.
Pro sports are basically just a form of entertainment like a movie. Actors dope to get ripped and pretend to be superheroes. I think it's the same thing
Of course UCI is not stamping out doping .. they are far more comfortable with doping and ignoring it … why have another Armstrong scandal? That just won’t do ! Same with IOC and IAAF, FIFA… and that list is endless. If you’re an athlete who brings in the $$ you’re going to be ok … but if you’re no one .. well too bad .. see yer later
A lot of information, some i know to be true for years. But this looks much worse. Like a legacy. I don't know the motivation of Cycling Highlights. Is it a business, call for a clean sport, justice or health concerns of a cycling lover? If it is all about the above i would suggest a blog about all the health consequences to the dopers. It is known that quite a few died but it appears that quite a few inspite of it all are just partly or not so deeply longtime afected???? Cheers.
@@cyclinghighlights So you mind to tell your reasons? Or is that a secret? Mine would be to have a clean sport alternative, wich normal people can enjoy and compete fairly. Doping does terrible harm. That would mean low to no money prices and hefti financial punishment if caught. I guess that is the only way if possible at all.
Still think it’s hard to argue that pogi and vingegaard are the only ones doping… I believe they maybe have more leeway, but would be extreme outliers with or without. My guess is that doping is as predominant as ever, but not as much in volume as in the 2000s. I think it’s a little more subtle, but far from gone.
Dude. Ullrich and Armstrong aren't the ones Who doped in the past. But obviously, a Big Mat rider hasn't the economics to afford doctors like Ferrari or Ufe. Ferrari earned €1M per year from Lance and Ufe €80k per session So... please
Neither informative nor entertaining. I hate myself just for making this comment - because it helps the channel with YT's ranking and any channel who makes drivel like this doesn't deserve any help.
@@richardg6109 Blood doping since 1991 has made cycling unrecognizable. The tactics have completely changed because no one is exhausted. However, as doped as Sosa and McGuire were, they never won a World Series after 1997.
Always in favor of doping, It's not gonna make you win races overnight. It levels the playing field. and if athletes didn't dope. Who in their mind would wanna watch a mountain top finish where the athletes are doing 5.5 watts per kilo max. Add 20mins on the ascent time without doping. Its entertainment after all.
Looking at W/kg iy's realisic to think they dope today but way less than the past. in the 90's the enhancement was insane (on average 10 to 15%, today looks like a 5 to 7%)

I watched him win LIVE here in Lisbon, next to my door step, the Worlds ITT and for me, he is a Legend. But like all legends, they all must crash... and burn. He burned out like a campfire, put out by drunk teenagers with hot beer... What a shame. Now he tries to survive, capitalizing on his dirty deeds, what a shame...
I heard ulrich once heated up a jar of nutella & ate it with a spoon.
I've tried it, not a full jar like Jan, its dope. After again hearing of the practice from the commentators of the TDF about Jan's take on it, way back in the late 1990s-early2000s.
I enjoy this Tour De France thus far and really hope the riders race clean.
Watched a few videos of this channel and think its perfectly fine and valuable to be skeptical about todays race performances. However: Like some people want to believe that all cycling is clean, this channel cannot cope with the idea that many riders might be. It's kind of sad that you put so much energy into making people belief that everybody is a cheater and if you lack evidence, you make up information. E.g. at 1:38 you tell that Jan Ullrich talked about how crucial his doping was in that interview when he really talked about his fable for museums (ua-cam.com/video/L4_k_QKfdoU/v-deo.htmlsi=-ZQtzj35fFuB795s&t=1167). How am I supposed to take any Information from this channel seriously if you bluntly make up stuff? At best you are just poorly informed, at worst you really think, making low credibility cynic videos stirring up hopelessness and doubt will solve the issue of doping (which is indeed a problem, no doubt about that).
Not was in that interview. Was in one in ZDF tv. We put that footage because we can't watch that interview in our country.
Its true. Couldnot win the tour without using something. Could ride it clean and maybe finish respecable.
The miles or kilometers along with the intensity or speeds . Also altitude gain for 3 weeks is almost incomprehensible. Any body who knows cycling might agree this is the hardest race there is.
A team that strikes me similar to Telecoms rise in 6 months is VF Group - Bardiani. Not sure about that team but they came out with guns blazing in the Giro. Who will be relegated this year and what team will come in their place? UNO X has done some amazing things since they came in to the GT's. People fail to realize the pressure on these teams to be invited into the GTs and the pressure on the riders to get a new better contract. That oressure is enough to make a ridwr or a team to do ANYTHING!!!!
🤘🏻🏴
Great video and I always are saving this to my son. All the top riders today are dopen, just like 20 years ago, just like 30 years ago, etc. and it is tolerated. Because cycling has to sell and riders who are riding averages of 33 and top on day 1 and worse the next day don't sell
Have you done a doping video on Merckx, the guy was high as a kite and as big a bully as Armstrong whilst getting DQ'd from four races incl 3 big monuments at a time when dope testing wasn't even that much of a thing.
They'll all on it, same as athletics
I'm sorry but I watched Horner video first.
Almost fell asleep halfway, now let me get the popcorn for another doped show👌
At last the truth we all knew . Not only the world' s cycling governing body , but the national federations are responsible. As for me , i really don't need a new bike - I have 3 already - but I'll never say no to another one ...
If great actor very special guy Tom Sizemore was alive, perfect to play Jan in something.
Like in any sport, you're either entertained and engaged by their spectacles and stories or you aren't. And if 'fairness' or playing by the current rules is a key part of your ability to enjoy what you're watching ('is it believable, or have they cheated 'my team/rider' out of victory etc..') then I don't know why anyone watches any sport. It has been proven, decade after decade, that there will always be those willing to break the rules at all levels. Money and profit rule. Just enjoy the stories. Enjoy the spectacle and enjoy the aftermath when the covers are pulled off by outside agencies or jealous teammates etc.. It's part of one long, never-ending saga and fortunately for us, cycling provides SO much of it that we can have dedicated UA-cam channels like this one for it!
It's not like you take a pill and you are a top athlete. We all enjoy cycling, but in most professional sports doping exists. Watch the tour or not.
I can only recommend, don't focus on the hate. Just get your bike and ride ;-)
So, is this a 8 min 53 sec of video to say "everyone is doped, they all know it"?
Yep. 😊
I'm from belgium but i lived in france now, olympic coming in a a month in paris (what a city) i don't trust any american or french athlètes participate in the future olympic, it will be so much hypocrisy but the people are so nationalist i'm sure american and french will be proud of the "positive" results...
This is why I find it difficult to watch the TDF.Much as I love cycling,I can't stop thinking every time someone breaks away on a mountain stage,"he must be doped to the eyeballs" I mean look at many of these riders,they are so skinny,with no visible muscle,and yet they keep going day in,day out.
"Theres always a Dane."
Funniest about doping accusations are the reactions of the cycling world, complete outrage and consternation; how could you even ask that question?
Doping is part of the game...if , back in the day i was given the ultimatum of get with the program or you may as well go home....id ask which vien do you want. Idgaf about doping in cycling. Yep in an ideal world thered be none and the sport would be better for it...but its not an ideal world. If youve rode and trained your backside off to make it to the pro peleton only to be faced with reality youve got a decision to make.
Come on, give Lance his credit, give em all the credit, let epo exist.....
I happening TODAY as YESTERDAY! Today is a millionaire business for sport doctors and labs!
He's not wrong.... its the "Tennis" model.... you're OK until your not OK.. then you're "injured" for a bit.
So what did he expose about doping today? Nothing.
yes it is all true most likely but think then about other parts as well where we could be lied too... government and so on...
Will the 2024 Olympic road race champion be clean
97% unlikely
No
if its going to be mvdp, yes! 😊
clean doped
100% clean. 😂😂😂😂😂
Here to demolish my friends on the next climb.
The greatest of all time! In a world without doping everybody would have seen it even clearer. Please do more about Jan and how world cycling and the culture of doping stoped him to win the Tour 10 times.
i'll enter the lottery to win a vanrysel if it houses a hidden motor.
IT’S ALL ABOUT BUSINESS.
Doping is killing the sport. Hard to trust over achievers 😢😢.
They're all on dope though, not just the superstars.
Pro sports are basically just a form of entertainment like a movie. Actors dope to get ripped and pretend to be superheroes. I think it's the same thing
Of course UCI is not stamping out doping .. they are far more comfortable with doping and ignoring it … why have another Armstrong scandal? That just won’t do ! Same with IOC and IAAF, FIFA… and that list is endless. If you’re an athlete who brings in the $$ you’re going to be ok … but if you’re no one .. well too bad .. see yer later
Doping Joseba Beloki? He was albsolve of that, they find nothing.🤔
Doped. Puerto link.
And if he wasn't he claimed some TdFs
Freiheit für Ulle!
All dirty. Just look at Froome.
Dare I say, friend of the channel, Jan Ulrich??
No. He betrayed* our real friend in 97.
But he's a nice dude
Man these guys are putting the Pantanni numbers on shame and they say they are clean, give me a break dude
You couldn't make it up!
A lot of information, some i know to be true for years. But this looks much worse. Like a legacy. I don't know the motivation of Cycling Highlights. Is it a business, call for a clean sport, justice or health concerns of a cycling lover? If it is all about the above i would suggest a blog about all the health consequences to the dopers. It is known that quite a few died but it appears that quite a few inspite of it all are just partly or not so deeply longtime afected???? Cheers.
Mixture of all. Isn't only a reason for this channel
@@cyclinghighlights So you mind to tell your reasons? Or is that a secret? Mine would be to have a clean sport alternative, wich normal people can enjoy and compete fairly. Doping does terrible harm. That would mean low to no money prices and hefti financial punishment if caught. I guess that is the only way if possible at all.
Still think it’s hard to argue that pogi and vingegaard are the only ones doping… I believe they maybe have more leeway, but would be extreme outliers with or without. My guess is that doping is as predominant as ever, but not as much in volume as in the 2000s. I think it’s a little more subtle, but far from gone.
Dude. Ullrich and Armstrong aren't the ones Who doped in the past. But obviously, a Big Mat rider hasn't the economics to afford doctors like Ferrari or Ufe. Ferrari earned €1M per year from Lance and Ufe €80k per session
So... please
it's only more subtle because the testing hasn't caught up to the current methods yet...
How is Riis a 'friend of the channel'? Did I miss something? Did you make a video with him or something?
Make any video you like, but please don't tell me that El Bala is dirty.
No. He was in Puerto as Valv. Piti because he met Fuentes only for talking about food and materials
@@cyclinghighlights Pfiuuuu!
@@cyclinghighlights How bout TJ Van Garderen? He clean? He was the American hope after Lance and Floyd hit the pipe.
Hello author/s of this channel. Are female cyclists just as 'juiced' as the men?
No. Female atlhetes in general are all clean. Like Vingegaard or Pogacar.
The naive new GCN cycling fans must be so lost when they hear you mention "Rico" and "Dracula Gianetti".
Bummer
Lucid 😆
Talk about the men riding in the women's peloton.
ULLE WAR SAUBER ;)
Neither informative nor entertaining. I hate myself just for making this comment - because it helps the channel with YT's ranking and any channel who makes drivel like this doesn't deserve any help.
But you're Still making the comment... Take some medication dude
Get your head out of the sand pit and check the real world.
Why is it when some get caught are outcasts ...others get job in sport again as team boss or presenter and still in the cycling Click.!
C please
Over the top clown show
Body building & pro cycling are the doping KINGS!!! That's why I stopped watching cycling after Lance won his 3rd TDF. Nothings changed.
No.

Track n field

And others at same level
Tennis
Triathlon

Indeed, the modern colosseum.
MLB wouse than pro cycling.

@@richardg6109 Blood doping since 1991 has made cycling unrecognizable. The tactics have completely changed because no one is exhausted. However, as doped as Sosa and McGuire were, they never won a World Series after 1997.
Always in favor of doping, It's not gonna make you win races overnight. It levels the playing field. and if athletes didn't dope. Who in their mind would wanna watch a mountain top finish where the athletes are doing 5.5 watts per kilo max. Add 20mins on the ascent time without doping. Its entertainment after all.

Aways the Dane's 😂
Got to remember epo was undetectable at first. Won't be long until someone discovers what the current peloton are pedaling 😉
🧛😶
What a load of crap.
Poor Ulle
Looking at W/kg iy's realisic to think they dope today but way less than the past.
in the 90's the enhancement was insane (on average 10 to 15%, today looks like a 5 to 7%)
"Rite of passage" to become a pro road cyclist one might say.
This channel is starting to grow stale. They need some expanded material outside of doping.
Like our special Wiggins/Froome!
