We have a reason to believe Contador was doped before 2010 because he actually was caught... Ten Dam has never been suspicious or anything and has improved every year. If he doped since U23 he should have gotten way better results... Why is 6th in the GC so weird by the way? He was up there in last year's Vuelta aswell. He will probably drop a few spots and finish like 8th, nothing extreme in my opinion.
Contador certainly wasn't the best example, but I was too lazy to find another doper who've improved gradually over the years. 
Take Nibali instead, then. Discounting his amazing 2010, he has steadily progressed upwards since 04/05.
Also, please note that I'm not accusing Mollema or Ten Dam of anything. I'm just saying that you can't tell people to shut up and claim that there's absolutely no way they're not clean just because they've developed gradually rather than making a big jump at some point.
I will keep that in mind, just in my opinion they are about the last riders to have doped, I know them better than people not from Holland.
Nibali indeed gradually improved, maybe that's the reason why nobody finds it weird that he completely degraded the opponents at the Giro... |

For example, if I pay dr. Fuentes 100 billion dollars for getting my the best doping ever, I still won't win the big races.
I won't be so sure of that. If doping can make an less than average cyclist a Tour de France winner, who knows what else it can do

Again would people be happy if Froome is indeed clean and i just very good? Or do you want for him to be doper?
Well, honestly i cannot say that i am a fan of him, there is just something about him i dont like.
But if he is clean i will applude him for being the best rider, but after today i am 100% sure he is not clean.
Tony Martin drove so fast that even twitter was 20mins behind him and collapsed when he crossed the finish line.
Froome came in just 12secs behind looking like he just came in from a nice leisurely ride down to the shop for beer in his car. |

Did you see the Olympics time - trial?
After the race, Martin was completely dead and to a point even Wiggins. Meanwhile, Froome face was saying something like "Was that all?"

If it did, why he wasn't winning already in '10/'11?
You know that at Sky their doctors came from other sports and also some of their trainers have background on swimming and rugby for example. Makes the difference, if you don't get stuck at old times. Maybe, you should yourself. |

And I can fake being drunk, and raise my heartbeat within a couple of second to look exhausted. Maybe Martin is playing and fakes his exhausment. |

It's amazing how you believe all their propaganda. All your arguments are the same as the one Sky come up with.
2010 and 2011? Froome was so good at that time that he didn't even make the Tour team. Clearly wasn't training hard enough.

If he is clean, than thats good for him. Not saying he is a doper, but comparing his results prior to joining sky with his results since, is a bit dubious, you got to admit that. (Same goes for Wiggins since 2009 btw)
Though, I am still not convinced that you can be this dominating in a 21day stage race without having previously engaged in shady practices! Especially not in a race that is THE Peak for a majority of the cycling world!

Seems highly, highly unlikely to me. But I feel like the TT by Martin and Froome today is almost humanly impossible, I mean 53 km per hour... insane. |

Exact, that is what am I saying. You however say that dope makes it all, so it won't matter if you train hard. As long as you dope enough. But I say that training is the key and not that dope. |

Ofcourse unlikely, but well, that doesn't matter. Was making a point to Alex. |

My point was that Froome looked like he didn't just make a considerable effort

That's it. You've convinced me while agreeing with my sarcastic comment.

We are talking about "accepting different opinions" and - i'm on my mobile and too lazy to find your comments - you call "us" haters, just because we don't believe in Froome being clean. So: you clearly do not accept that "different" opinion.
You think he's clean - go SKY, right? - and you don't want so many people to think he's not. Simple.

I'll join this topic by first saying: I am a sky fan
However, that being said I've spent this year with steadily less belief in them being credible, and Froome in this Tour has been a step beyond reality for me, I can no longer believe that he;s not doping.
I have a genuine question: When they are doing drug tests, are they just testing for incongruencies or for specific substances? Because if it's the latter would it be possible to get away with doping by using a new substance?
Secondly (Carrying on from Q1): When people first started using EPO etc, how were they treated? was it instantly banned and the riders with it? Because whilst I agree it's cheating, an argument which makes sense to me would be that Skys' "Research Fund" is being spent on developing a new wonderdrug which isn't on the illegal list yet?

In the early days they tested for specific substances if I'm correct. Don't know if they still do that. But you have a list of forbidden materials to use. As long as it is not that list, it is not officialy a dope. That is one of the reasons that EPO could be used, it was untracable. Will be the same for the new wonderdrug, if it is there. As they will see differences, but they won't know where those differences came from.

They still do! Afterall you can only test for substances that you know of/have a method to test for...
And just because he doesnt turn in a positive doesnt mean that he is not doping. Ever heard of diuretics and masking agents? Pretty sure Fränk Schleck can tell you tons about it (slowly they are discovering methods to discover them too...)
And yes, its not officially doping as long as it isnt on that list, but as soon as a "drug" shows performance enhancing effects, itll be put on that list. Why do you think that all professional athletes have to declare any perscrition drugs with their respective governing bodies, be it UCI or Iaaf or the IOC? So they can monitor what kind of medication is slowly trending throughout a field of competitive athletes...

Hi guys!
I usually read and today want to share my opinion.
I am a SKY fan, I have 30 years and I came from Spain.
I follow Sky since first seasons, when in the team was Lofvquist, Gerrans and Flecha.
Last year for me was unreal the performace, but this year all rider is a normal performace but Froome is out of control.
Remember that Froome never was a leader, even there was a photo of w/kg of team riders and froome only reached 5.9w/kg.
In this time trial with hard counter wind, the performance even better than Martin and 2 minutes better than other favourites is a joke.
I dont belive in this cyclins, is unreal. Sorry, im trying, but i cant. |
