That would be a crying shame to dope to keep yourself only an hour and a half back!Frigo's Luggage said:
It hurt even more on Wednesday during the shoot-out at Alpe d’Huez when we witnessed the scenes that had once made the race so special. Rewind the tape and the truth is in the pain; the mouths gaping for breath; the eyes rolling with tiredness; the exhausted portrait of the Austrian Bernard Kohl - second overall and King of the Mountains - as he collapsed after crossing the line. The moment of the race.whiteboytrash said:
He did.
That is like football when players are simulating a fault. At the begining they were just falling, now they fall, cry and have a face destroyed by a terrible pain.whiteboytrash said:
With powermeter doped riders will be able to stay in believable performances! They have already learnt to breath as do athletes without oxygenation boost. That remember me one stage were Armstrong stopped his effort because he understood at that moment that current performance was too strong to be believed.
I too had given Kohl the benefit of the doubt.
Kimmage was correct that Kohl did look shattered at D'Huez.
Kohl also looked very very tired after the final ITT - so much so that Hinault had to help him on to, and off, the podium for the KOM jersey presentation.

Valverde is always gunna do 'something' at the tour....& never does...Cunego got time put into him on just about every climb...what WAS unusual was that these guys were so bad...not that CSC was *so* different to what we might have expected them to do. Nup, I'll maintain that CSC might well be full of dopers, but I don't think that any of them did any totally extraordinary performances where we can point the finger & say..."thats gotta be a 'doped' performance"...we could all see it with Schumacher & Ricco, but I didn't see it with CSC, even with the benefit of hindsight....****, Sastre only actually rode 2 stages...the Alpe & the final TT.
“We will have a much stronger team in 2009. They can help Cadel next year,” he said. “There’s Kohl, he can help Cadel in the mountains and still ride for his own chances. It’s better to have two options. You can ride to help your captain and still have a strong result. Look what Leipheimer did in the Vuelta.” (Editor's Note: This interview was conducted before Kohl tested positive for CERA.)
“We were hoping for more from Popovych, but he wasn’t at his best. What can we do?” Redant said. “We hope he’s back to his normal level in 2009. He’s very frustrated. He’s angry. He’s not used to riding like he did.”whiteboytrash said:
