Cycling thread

I guess it's a bit different (from Messi's perspective) when a young teenager has this treatment compared to a full-grown adult. But hey ho

WTF!!! Messi had a recognised growth condition....the standard treatment is growth hormones.

Some of these arguments are fudging departed.
 
They have regular drug tests in football, just ask Ferdinand. Growth hormone is illegal and Xavi would be banned. Basically you're talking gonads.
 
An interesting link is Pedro Leon, the Real player (well on loan at Getafe but still a Real player). His older brother is Luis León Sánchez well known pro cyclist who was recently outed as a Client of Armstrong's doctor Ferrari.
I can see lots of stuff coming out about other sports in the Padua investigation into doping currently happening in Italy.
Personally I reckon Cycling is currently a cleaner sport than Tennis.
There huge unasked questions about Nadal. And how exactly did Djokovic suddenly turn into a 5 set endurance specialist.

I'm sorry, but if you are going to be an apologist for cyclists whilst having a pop at tennis, you'd better have some facts for tennis players getting caught using drugs. The facts about cycling speak for themselves. The sport is riddled with cheats. And what does it say about the cycling fraternity when apparently it was common knowledge within the world of cycling that Armstrong was a known drug user? You have all these cyclists coming out now and saying "I'm not surpised". Why did no one say anything then?

Don't know where you're getting ideas about Djokovic from. He has been in the top 5 since 2007. He hasn't some journeyman who came from the middle of the pack like Armstrong did. If you've watched any of his long matches in grand slams, he looks fudged at the end of them!
 
All cyclists are drugged up tossers.

Disgraceful human beings.

Denigrating the worlds best sportsman just because your man lover Armstrong took more pricks than a pin cushion? Do me a favour.

Armstrong had such a power over the sport that if anyone threatened to cast a shadow over his career by telling the truth, his lawyers would be straight on the case. The UCI knew about it as well, and with the amount of money the man brought to the sport - they made sure that he was protected.
 
Cycling is great for amateurs, I don;t diminish the pleasure millions of men across the UK now get from it and it's fantastic for fitness and the implications for having a healthy country.

But the professional sport is a complete joke and i'll be tuning out thanks.

Unfortunately that includes Kenny and Hoy......nothing is sacred and we would be hugely naive to think they aren't doping. In my heart I believe they are clean, but who knows anymore?

What are you talking about?

To be sensible.....Murray is tested after EVERY match, he has played 66 times this year on the tour so far....will probably play another 10 times as well.

Then he is tested out of competition, as evidenced by the article I posted, they turn up at his house in Surrey and other places at all hours.

The top 20 players are obviously tested more and play more, so those in the Futures and Challengers circuits could be doing it........but they are obviously brick! And the fact is Tennis is primarily a game of skill, until you get to the very top when fitness can play a part over 5 set matches in slams.

The ATP programme is fully endorsed by WADA and is one of the most rigorous in the world, if not the most rigorous.

I 100% believe all top tennis players are clean........and if they try and cheat they will be caught.
 
Disgusting flimflam.

Andy Murray is tested around 100 times a year!

Clueless qunts.

Nonesense, all Scottish people are on Brown, fact.... Or is that just Aberdeen? Anyway, a LOT of them are beaming up to Scotty on a regular basis.
 
:)

I think they gave Murray special dispensation due to his chronic brown habit, as you say, he is Scottish after all!

When he throws those fits on court he's just having withdrawal! :)
