Can't believe we almost left 2017 without a post in this thread, glad we're back on track in the name of tradition.

They picked up a 35 years old pistard that never rode outside and made him the best Climber in the world, later a guy that battled to avoid last position, became one of the best climbers of history with 6.5 w/kg in Mont Ventoux. Who could believe they were clean? Worse is that they insulted us and this sport saying that they are the best because they train in altitude (Canary Islands).

A hypocrite. So much for 'I never had a win at all costs approach'.
Also the 'He took inhaler to seem healthy' is just a pathetic excuse.

Gracias Alberto.

Brilliant piece of Kimmage. https://www.indep...14204.html
"I've never had an injection," Sir Bradley Wiggins assures us, in the chest-thumping autobiography that follows his triumph in the Tour de France. "This is one yellow jersey that will stand the test of time," Chris Froome pledges in a crois-moi speech on the Champs-élysées. And here we are, four years later, swamped in the mire of their dirty little secrets - the mystery jiffy bag, the mistaken testosterone patches, the unethical corticosteroids, the failed test for salbutamol - and returned to ground zero.
And what hurts most is that we saw it coming.
For six years now, since his extraordinary transformation at the 2011 Tour of Spain, Froome has been an accident waiting to happen battling five debilitating conditions - bilharzia, typhoid, urticaria, blastocystosis, asthma - in his march towards the summit. Forget the astonishing accelerations (Mont Ventoux 2013, La Pierre Saint Martin 2015) and multiple Tour wins, this is the Froome legacy.
He has redefined what it means to be ill.
"I was trying to hold it in, so my rivals wouldn't hear me coughing and wheezing . . . the most difficult times were on the start line where I had Quintana on one side, (and) Contador on the other. I would be standing there with a burning sensation to cough or needing to get some phlegm up, but I would hold my breath to stop myself. I didn't want them to see I was battling with this. Just don't let them see anything. I couldn't wait for the neutral zone so I could get to the side of the road, blow my nose and get it all up."
The penultimate stage to the summit of Alpe d'Heuz was approaching. The team doctor called to his room and suggested they apply for a TUE to treat the infection. "I think it was on about the evening on stage 17," Froome explained. "Richard (Usher, team doctor) coming around to see all the riders. Stopping by my room, listening to my chest, doing other checks, 'Listen Chris, you are sick. One hundred per cent. If we got the official race doctor to have a look, you would be granted a medication that would definitely alleviate that tightness and help you get through these next few days'."
But Froome wasn't having it. "After everything we had been through in this year's Tour, especially the hostility from different people along the way, it just felt that if we go down this route, we are opening the door for a whole new wave of criticism and aggression," he told Walsh. "It would have been within the rules, but I didn't want it to be the Tour de France that was won because he took this medication in the last week."
What a true hero he is Can't believe anybody ever bought his bs.

Van der Poel <3 calling for a ban for Froome and call ing the whole case stupid due to uci allowance for thresholds.
https://www.cyclin...mol-level/
"It's very stupid, I can't help saying that. Maybe I'm a bit too blunt for saying it like this. Maybe asthma patients will understand the case better, but cycling and all sports in general are for healthy people," the young Dutchman said during an interview on the Dutch television show AvroTros (OneToday) and reported widely in Belgium and the Netherlands.
"The UCI allows that abuse, is possible. If you state that it's not allowed, then it will not happen," he said.
"Now, they're saying that it is allowed up towards a certain amount. Then you just know that some people will try to get up to that height; the ideal height. I think the UCI is partly to blame about that."
Perhaps more importantly, Lemond weights in to and calls for a ban as well
https://www.cyclin...-punished/
Tom Dumoulin has also said that if it had been him, he would have been immediately suspended.
Rohan Dennis also says he has zero tolerance for positive tests, however rather light stance to the whole Froome conundrum: “I don’t know the full details but I think for myself, if that was me, I’d just say ‘Look, I screwed up. I shouldn’t have done this’, or what not, if that is the case [that Froome made a mistake]”. Bit naive.
https://cyclingti...tive-test/
Bakelants with a clear stance on Froome. "I do not see how he will get out of this. There is a precedent, WADA will not go along with that [explanation] and he has the perception against it."
https://www.cyclin...-be-right/
So far the roundup of riders.

Finally found some time to listen to it. Brilliant indeed. Whole Froome saga most fittingly described and how obvious it was that it was coming after all those years, incidents and performances.
Great how he calls out Walsh for his bullshit as well.
