http://www.cyclismas.com/biscuits/groundhog-day-for-cycling/ a fresh take on cycling news and commentary Fri, 29 May 2015 20:10:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 http://www.cyclismas.com/biscuits/groundhog-day-for-cycling/#comment-767 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:04:14 +0000 http://www.cyclismas.com/?p=11156#comment-767 Actually Nadal is very vocal that he doesn’t like Anti-doping controls. He complained last year about having to give his whereabouts and he had in total one test all year. There is lots out there about he reacts to anti doping. Very suspicious. I wouldn’t use him as an example in future as there are massive question marks over him, almost as many as Armstrong had.

a) the best TT rider in the GC
b) already comfortably in the lead
c) not the strongest in the mountians
you not gonna be blood doping before a TT. If you were gonna be doing it it would be before a mountain stage, ie when a performance gain would really be needed.

PeterDH I never said anything about him being a nice working bloke. Like most Pro-Sportsmen, I think Wiggins is far from the sharpest tool in the box (he even admits so in his autobiography – the first one I think…). I doubt whoever does his taxes bothers him much about it. Just a guess tho.

Blood test requires time for the athlete’s blood to stabilise – the chaperone stays with them the entire time. See post above or WADA guidelines for blood tests.
