  • Oh I'm happy to trust the authorities, otherwise we just stray into tin-foil hat territory.

    bang-on. afaic, ban served = clean 'til caught again.

    Out of all of the current riders he really is the hardest to believe that he's riding clean.

    enjoy the racing, and take a look at Piti's list of achievements from the youth categories on. talent just might have something to do with it as well.

  • ban served = clean 'til caught again.

    Except for that problem of limit-exceeding training.

    ie. if you take steroids and train then compensate to a capacity above what you would have achieved clean, your body has hit that 'super capacity' point and done whatever adaptations are needed so it's possible to reach that point again.

    So, once a doper, always potentially reaping the benefits of doping. Also, if you've made the call at any point in your life to cheat then you are morally weak and susceptible to do it again.

    Life ban for cheats.

  • ^^this

    the original discussion in this thread was around a hypothetical scenario where someone spends years training outside a testing pool necking absolutely everything possible, before stopping it all and going clean but benefitting from the fact they were hitting impossible numbers whilst on the gear.

  • in case of steroids, yes, I know how that works. was this proven? I thought it was about Fuentes' blood doping bags.

    @Pifko, unrepentant cunt, true. lots of cunts in the pro peloton, they don't have to be my friends just race each other's balls off!
