Drugs don't work like that I'm afraid

Why? I love the sport.

How can you love it if you believe they are all cheating? Seems weird that.

Dunno. Did Wiggins get it?

No he didn't. Wiggins had an excellent cycling pedigree. Froome doesn'tdoesn't

Hasnt Froome won 2 TDF? Pretty much.

The analogy with footballers diving, for example, is tenuous, to say the least. A better one would be if football matches, at the top level, were routinely rigged. I wouldnt watch it if they were.

So Froome's on better drugs than the rest?

Actually he did.He got plenty of abuse and innuendo from certain quarters., not nearly as much as Froome though . I've always thought that "The Wiggins Response" was the only worthwhile one for anonymous keyboard warriors making snide remarks without any proof , although the video works much better :

"
Wiggins said: 'I say they're just f*****g w*****s. I cannot be doing with people like that.

'It justifies their own bone-idleness because they can't ever imagine applying themselves to do anything in their lives.

'It's easy for them to sit under a pseudonym on Twitter and write that sort of s**t, rather than get off their arses in their own lives and apply themselves and work hard at something and achieve something.

'And that's ultimately it. C***s.'

Looks like it is all over bar the shouting. Well done Chris.

It's a shame that the French can't be sporting and appreciate a fine cyclist when they see one, but what do you expect?

If there's one man cheating, it's Nairo Quintana with his birth certificate.

Epo and the like have very different effects on people.

the French are the great losers of Europe

if they had any collective sense they would just pool together all their Euros and cast a twenty foot high solid gold statue of Napoleon carrying two tablets, each of which contained a letter to Brailsford begging him to come and teach them all how to ride bikes.
