Sorry about the about the off topic Luigi. 
Anyway back on track, guys it's only the first quarter of the season and everything is failing for team sky now. Before during these time of the season they're dominating every race and nao they're slacking a bit. Do I smell something fishy w/ that?
I just can't accept that the World Champ Rui Costa is being beaten by Slagter in the line for two stages now, I love both riders but I wish Costa had won.

Cio/Isso,
That hypothesis doesn't really make sense because it would imply that Contador is destroying T-A clean.
Or that he didn't bother and that he will be caught and banned later this year.
Edit: okay this is getting ridiculous now:

Something must be up. Froome, Porte and Horner all out for no real reason, and Contador destroys the rest. Maybe the others got off watever they were on in the last minute, except for Contador. A lot of speculation, but it could be.

We'll see in a week, when Froome, Porte, Contador and maybe Horner will race in Catalunya.

Yeah, lots of speculation mate, but actually: Horner is injury prone, so Lampre just might want to play it safe here. Froome has been slowly starting to cancel or abandon races after he won the Tour, basically either taking advantage of his new status and/or he becomes a bit of a diva. Maybe he's also over-training.
As for Porte... he wasn't supposed to be here in the first place. He probably doesn't care too much about Tirreno anyway, or at least he doesn't care enough for Tirreno as he'd risk his season schedule over "nothing".

2014 is another bad year related to deaths in cycling. 
RIP. |

If some allegedly doped riders left the race in fear of doping controls, Contador didn't and still destroyed T-A (by ShortsNL words), which would prove he's clean.
That's too many false assumptions in one or two sentences... |

Okay, now I am the one who is all confused by what the other person is trying to say
False assumption? How?

1) We don't know enough to be certain that new doping controls or, more technically maybe, that the kinetics of doping products (for how long they can be detected after being taken) are the cause of many abandons. There are many other plausible and legit reasons.
2) Assuming Contador is clean is naive, to put it gently. |

I don't like this "riders abandoning in fear of getting caught" theory. I haven't payed up much attention to Paris - Nice and Tirreno this year but, didn't Gesink also withdrew for no apparent reason?

Gesink had problems with peeing. But it was quite vague indeed.
