    Sky dominates cycling right now because they have the most money that equals to the best doping.

The fact that Wiggins and Froome achieved very little before the biological passport is evidence that they weren't doping.

    It's really hard to believe that he's 100% clean after almost all previous winners, or top finishers have tested positive for at least some kind of banned substance. We all know how hard it is to win the Tour de France and it takes a lifestyle trimmed to perfection to do it. If this was done by pure talent? I highly doubt that, there are thousands of excellent riders who emerge at age 16-24 and still, don't even come close to winning any of the big races. never mind the Tour de France. Obviously, Lance has done a great deal of damage to the sport, but only because he got 7 wins. I don't think that at this point we can talk about a rider's ability, or talent, we all know that it's all about sponsors, money, expectations and building a brand name. Without let's call it "dope" l think it's humanly impossible to accomplish that. My opinion. And not just cycling.

    So sincere....so heartfelt.....so down to earth and matter of fact. One has to wonder if this was recorded before or after his fraudulent applications for TUE of banned substances. Funny how something like 50% of the peloton has asthma......it's almost like having an ailment that limits your ability to breath actually provides an "assist" and can make you a better cyclist.
    Look, I'm not buying what ANY of these riders keep trying to sell until they stop doing what Wiggins did here and instead respond to all doping questions with: Yes, it's rampant, it's ubiquitous, the pressure to participate is constant, it did not go away when they caught Lance. It simply went deeper underground and the team doctors and loophole finders are consistently one step ahead of enforcement. Until then the "All clear after Lance" baloney is exactly that....baloney.

Does he even have a PR team advising him, what stupid move. Everyone at the top is on EPO, even regarding Cadell being clean is wishful thinking, we justify it by saying his nothing like the rest in the mountains or that Australia is strict on performance enhancing drugs but the reality is they are all on it.

    To argue that todays top cyclists are not doping (in one way or another) is to argue that todays top bodybuilders are not using steroids...
    In order to compete at these levels you must have a boost. If the riders are not doping we should see the peloton times slow down to what they were in the late 80s and early 90s just prior to EPO use skyrocketing in pro cycling. The times are still on par with doping times as far as I can tell.
    I say legalize everything and let them race. Let them go. It will be more entertaining for us the fans to watch.
    Just like the MR Olympia contest; Its very entertaining to watch FREAKS the size of houses walk around and flex. Imagine if all sports were clean and it really was the best man winning...How boring for us. We would all develop ideas that we could possibly make it to that stage ourselves.

In the end televised sports main goal is to sell and engage. institutions use athletes to achieve those goals with out caring about their health and the repercussions of pushing their bodies to the limit. We are talking about the same sport where an English man got so fucked on opioids and alcohol that he died atop Mont Ventoux he got immortalized for dying after filling his body with drugs and yet EPO demonized lance, smh

    The implication was that it wasn't possible to win the tour without drugs, period,
    These guys are so close to each other in performance and physicality that someone not doping wouldn't keep up with those who are. Tyler Hamilton also said that without drugs it wasn't possible to finish better than 90th.
    Still, Bradley's a bugger with his talent, isn't he?

    I don't think any cycling fan looks at the winner as someone with great cycling skills. They look at him as someone who has great doping skills.
    So what I propose is that we completely change the interview questions after the races
    to
    When did you first realise you had potential to become the best doper in the world?
    WHo was your doping role model?
    How many injections do you need to win?
    Do you always transfuse your own blood or can you mix it in with a few wild beasts to make it more potent?
    Can you advise up and coming dopers where is the best place to source your EPO etc ?

      jonafari iglesias Well in the 2007 TdF Wiggins own Confidis team-mate Cristian Moreni was caught doping and the team withdrew from the race (difficult to race when you are being questioned by the Police). Wiggins reacted strongly and criticised dopers. He has a strong track background yes but was actually riding in Europe in a pro team as early as 2002. We are now learning that in athletics ATLEAST 1 in 3 medals are won by dopers (abnormal blood tests) so you would think the same is true of track cycling (and all other sports) anyway. It's certainly possible he was clean and unaware of the scale of the problem due to being an irregular Peloton member.

      @@scooter2163 lol - the last hold out of presuming cycling doping isn't systemic. All of us amateur racers ride training rides with retired pros, coaches, and upcoming TDF racers. There wasn't a competitive USCF cyclist I know that didn't already know that Armstrong was guilty back in 1999. It was just the general public and recreational cyclists that were naive. And every 2nd place TDF winner during Armstrong's years were busted at some point for doping. The times up those TDF climbs rose radically during that EPO, blood doping era - and . . . . get this, they haven't come down to this day. Gee, clean cyclists matching the times of doped cyclists. It's a miracle! Praise Jesus! And Wiggins raced against many of those doped cyclists. You can't keep up with dopers without doping.

    • @eximusic

      @@scooter2163 I have more than a clue, there was a wealth of information that came out from all of the people who participated in the doping on Lance's team to give really good insights on how it all took place. Sprinters don't win TDFs by the way - impossibility. Yes, the teams selectively pick the people for doping that have the best chances of winning. But on the days 7 riders from USPS led Armstrong up one of the hardest climbs in the TDF, dropping other climbers, all of them were doped. So of the possible TDF winners, if one is doping then all the contenders from all the teams have to in order to have a chance. If testing improves on one drug, like it did for EPO, then they switch to another method (blood doping in the case of EPO crackdown). They have tons of options, and new ones with no tests created yet coming out all of the time. People are working on this day and night. And I can tell you Froome wasn't clean and there's evidence out there for that. And it didn't start with Lance, he walked into an already existing situation at a time when the US teams seemed to be the only ones out of the loop. They weren't winning and found out why.

At the time of Lance Armstrong's TDF victories, every single competitor was using PED's......there is no exception, every team had their own program & if you did not agree to it, you would not get a contract. Lance was exceptional & he competed in the TDF on a level playing field. He knows, as does everyone involved then & to this day that his TDF wins still stand, regardless of what the official records show.

    2005 distance 3600km..........2012 distance 3404km. (200km shorter about a full stage less) You also have to take into account number of mountain top finishes , number of hilly or flat stages, the weather conditions wind strength and wind direction , all will affect speed...... complicated.

It takes true balls to try your best and win, 1000's hours of training and sacrifice - Lance was simply a cheat and should not be allowed to enter any race, any level, any time. - full on twat - Brad proved himself years before he turned to road racing and well proud he finished off TOP in Rio - my thoughts
