^ That is the most hideous suit I’ve ever seen.
^^^ the entire outfit… well, take a closer look. note the ANGELDEVILANGELDEVIL text that runs up the sleeves. it is also on the matching tie. it’s like a first communion outfit bought from a bodega…
Screw Ricco he is a prick. Its all about Cavendish and his FOUR stage wins!
Oh and I hope Vandevelde wins and doesn’t dope. I hope noone on Garmin-Chipolte dopes, since they make such strong statements against it.

Damn. Well I guess I can hit fast forward when I get home.

You could have anyway until the 20s overhead replay after the finish anyway.

Well yeah. I just watched the finish on velonews.
That kid won by 2+ lengths. 
It was amazing even if he doesn’t get green I hope he continues to paris.
do sprinters get any benefit from doping?
^ I guess that supposedly any athlete can benefit from the right drug, they say that one of the main ‘perks’ of doping is being able to recover from physical exertion quicker than a ‘non-doped’ body can. It’s not always about a performance boost. So in a long, day after day event like the Tour, that recovery help would start to pay off in the long term as you would not get so worn out.

this should answer a few questions.
Different sport, but look what it did for Marion Jones.
Great article Tarckatina, thanks for the link.
Yea that finish is awesome to watch today. I really like him I would like to see him keep winning.
I guess it wasn’t even publicly known that there was a way to test for CERA. I have a feeling Ricco wont be the last rider to be ejected from the tour. A shame though :\
Screw him I hate anyone that dopes. They are traitors to the sport.

Hey thanks for that one. The fact that the US authorities aren’t too keen on catching their athletes is old news, but the list is interesting. EPO sure is surprising… Looks like he looked around in a lab and gave Chambers everything he found:)
(Also, who the fuck ever thought for a second that Dwain Chambers could possibly have been clean? With those muscles? He looked like a fucking bodybuilder.)
It’s really interesting stuff to me. Here’s an even better article where the journalist takes all the different drugs himself, from steroids and testosterone to HGH and EPO, and reports how his cycling feels afterwards… also gets into all the crazy side effects from steroids and other stuff. http://outside.away.com/outside/bodywor … est_1.html
That article is terrifying.
Well, hopefully testing gets better at finding the cheaters… but it seems the best ones are a step ahead of the process and have stuff that’s not on the radar yet.
Thanks again Andre, you just increased my understanding of this stuff by like 1000%.
