Nice try but I'll think you'll find that Pereiro has had a long list of cycling achievements over the years in many races.... (again you guys only know these riders from the Tour... if you followed the sport all year around you would know tut tut)....in addition he's season has been way more consistent than most Discovery riders and has been building in form over the last 3 years..... no super sauce for this lad.... he rides on talent, training and guts.........

I've been caught up in the wave. I admit it. It is sometimes hard to ignore. Pereiro at the front of the race for two tough days in the mountains??? Who is this guy?? It has to be drugs. He must be doped up. How else could you explain it? Training? Ability? Equipment? Toughness? Nahhhhh. Like everyone else who succeeds, it has to be drugs. I'm hooked on the kool-aid now fellas.
