And, to be fair, his excuse for poor form this year because he's overtrained would, actually, be quite correct.
If Sky gave him numbers to hit that were based off his "abnormal" values, then to try and hit them whilst at "normal" values would be recipe for over training very fast and very effectively.
As an aside a number of Sky riders were complaining about overtraining during their total failure of a classics season. If memory serves to the point of refusing to continue during one session.
At the time Brian Smith said much the same thing, live on air on Eurosport - that not everyone can train as hard as Froome and Wiggins. |

Lance's Motoman (Philippe Maire):
How hard is it to find a bike mechanic?

I have no idea what a motoman is. I only know it's probably related to either doping or mechanic. |

He carried dope to Armstrong and team mates during Le Tour on his motorbike.

Incidently. his next tweet expands that he doesn't think the guy did anything other the mechanic work but it shows the stupidly intertwined world of cycling.
If true, it hillarious regardless though either way. Any idea when it happened (IIRC, motoman only came out in the USADA report, so its its pre-that I guess its not quite as moronically stupid) |

I'm quite sure there are many Monegask cyclists (lots of cyclists live there) that work with him.

His identity and all that came out in USADA report, but ever since Landis started to talk, if not before, it was well-known that US Postal was using a motorbike with coolers to transport blood bags around and avoid police or customs raids.
Given Sky's irreproachable policy on doping, are they now going to fire all those involved with Motoman ?  |

Schleck apparently also claims he's the one who gave him the Xipamide.

I thought Schleck denied having done anything wrong? I seem to remember him talking about an investigation to find out if some kind of food or drink could have caused the positive test. |

He accuses Marie of giving him that bottle.
In other words Marie was supplying him dope, Fränk gets caught so he does what a real Schleck does in that situation: claiming he didn't know of anything and accusing his trafficant for drugging him

I see  My biased and overly optimistic self chooses to believe him though, I simply can't make the Schlecks and doping fit together... |

So you accept their explanation that the reason they were travelling across three countries to go pay tens of thousands of euros to a gynecologist who hasn't practiced medicine in 25 years and is a known dope salesman, was for medical advice? |

I agree, I mean how could two people be doped up and still that terrible?

Working with Bjarne Riis and doing their efforts to have Kim Andersen (who holds the record for most positive tests in a career) next to them in whatever team they're riding for ? And having their father's car raided by French customs in 2008 or so (hint : when they target a car in particular it's because they've got intel either from phone taping either from a reliable source) ?
No, I can't see any connection between them and dope... |

I did some research to Froome's parasite, and I found out there's a possibility of a so-called Katayana Syndrom, which is treated with... Corticosteroids
which is one the WADA prohibited list.
