Its the UCI, there is a better chance of McQuaid turning into the Grinch then for that to happen.

No they wont..they are stupid enough to give McQuaid 4 more years..and he was only candidate (ou my good).
My only hope is that ASO understand how booring TdF was..they look sometimes like smart persons.
@Deadpool..MCQuaid is mr. Ultimatum for me. where is problem there is Pat ultimatum..(most of the times he looses)

For the Danes: Seems like we're missing out on the spot for 6 riders to the World Championship. As I said a few days ago, we did overtake Ukraine after Tour of Denmark, but as Tour of Szeklerland was won by Vitaliy Popkov, we're now behind with 30 points.

As far as I'm aware, only the Danish Continental Riders count towards the ranking. |

Didn't the Tour of Denmark give os tons of pts? How about blaming Bjarne Riis for his wedding, assuming that Nicki Sørensen would've done podium making 4 in a row for CSC, probably being enough? |

No, because all Danish Pro Tour rider teams don't count in the continental ranking
Maybe now, you see the failure of the ranking system? Now it affects your country as well? |

Two Danish scientists were asked to analyze Wiggins' blood values. From the material they had, they said that there was nothing in the numbers saying that it was a doped athlete they were dealing with. One noted, though, that it was weird that Wiggins' off score increased during the Tour (which it does when using blood transfusions) when it normally should decrease. |

i wish Contador would publish his blood values
And then compare them. It would be hilarious

On the last day of the Tour a journalist asked Cotnador what his VO2max was. A perfectly innocent question.
He was pissed and refused to answer.
Which would be mind boggling......if this wasn't sports. It's just immensely suspicious and shows quite clearly that he has to be doped.
There is absolutely no other reason whatsoever for him to be pissed at being asked that, or even for him to not reveal it.
it's VO2Max....it's like asking "how much do you weigh?", except that your weight being above a certain value can't 100% without a doubt indicate doping use.
The fact that he refused to answer, and more than that, the fact that he was so extremely pissed at the question.........well, only a fanboy can come up with an insane explanation for him to do that other than the obvious logical one.

Yeah, cos of course they increase drastically. The overall trend should be a better bet rather than specific days. I'm pretty sure if you did look at someone like Astarloza's scores, they'd all be going upwards.

I thought blood transfusions were very easy to detect? I had thought they were "obsolete" when it came to doping.
Or is that only when you use someone else's blood, while your own is not detectable? |

I like the way you make a preemptive argument to dismiss any or all opposed to your point of view as "fanboys". You can quite clearly see that Contador was asked a very loaded question, which, in part, is why he got angry (besides the fact that he probably is doped).
It is not as if the question was asked out of the blue. It's like first saying to a person "you look really obese..." and then asking: "By the way, how much do you weigh?".
You have to look at the context of the question, not just the question it self.
And if you don't agree you are just a biased Contador hater. |

The chance of him getting accused or convicted or it would still be slim.
Valverde may still start in the Vuelta because the TAS is working so slow on this case (intentionally)

Way to try your hardest to go around the issue
If he's clean, what possible explanation could there be for not disclosing your VO2max? None.
It was in no way a loaded question. The reporter said he was very impressive and asked what his VO2max was. And Contador very suddenly became very pissed. There was no implication, there was nothing. There was just Contador reacting very badly to a very normal question.
