So we will see in 3-4 years either way. I hope they are clean but the biological data is not supportive.

He is a Pogacar believer and claims we would ‘know’ there are drugs out there but they are just foiling the testers. I’m just v skeptical…

Biologically there have been papers written that the levels that Pog and Vingegard are achieving are simply not possible

So how did you ‘know’ in 1990? I don’t remember it being discussed / written about.

It is a shame because I think Pogacar and Vingagard are probably both good enough to win anyway, just not as often or so dominantly

I suspect we will find out in 3-4 years - the dopers have always been ahead of the testers- EPO was widely used for 8-10 years before the Festina scandal in 1998

His power numbers are beyond dodgy. If you look at the history of cycling all the riders producing similar results have turned out to be dopers. Biologically 7.2 w/kg for >20 mins is simply not real

It rhymes with ‘coping’…
