I dont think it will - if they were doping, they would have been better when everyone was at it and they wouldnt have done all the extra things that Brailsford et al have done (because there would be no point - why try to gain a second here and there when you can just do what Contador did and be able to sprint around the Alps?).

Now that people arent doping to anything like the extent that they were, the restof the world arent able to cope with a team that actually is professional, dedicated, well-led, well trained and which is ****ing boss anyway.

You're basically saying that the classical history of cycling (masking agents on top > testers on top > masking agents on top ....ad infinitum ) has come to an end.

I cant accept that.

Post-Olympics and some time in the near future there'll be a retrospective judgement on a lot of this. Four seconds on another elite squad over 3,000M?

Hmmm.

I'd like to hear what our cycling afficianado Bruce reckons about this. I bet he's fearing the worst.

I have heard a great many things and occasionally find myself agreeing with him. But 10 minutes after a world record run? Good things don't happen to Davek for long as he's always looking out for the bad.

Just being realistic. I dont care if they are cheating, tbh. I love cycling and I fully expect it. It's pretty naive to think this is all being done on Broccoli and hard training.

You may well be right tbh, but can you not allow yourself to savour what has been a very good day, without tempering it with realism/pessimism?
