A sure sign that a team is doping is when riders with unimpressive results suddenly dominate. You could see it with U.S. Postal. George Hincapie started as sprinter and then became a classics rider. But with Postal he won a brutal climbing stage. The Belgians have a saying for it, "A dog in a hat". It means something ordinary in a extraordinary place. Froome is a prime example of this. Until he joined Sky he accomplished nothing. Now he's this generations dominate GC rider. At last years TDF Mikel Landa (Sky rider) had to be reigned in or he would have beaten Froome. Another dog in a hat.
its an inhuman event, the organizers should really consider changing it, so people can compete without having to cheat like the body builders of the 70s all on roids
Nope, thousands have done it without doping, some have even won (Greg Lemond anyone?). And this is just an inhaler, they are a ped but don't do THAT much, definitely not on the same level as EPO, which is seen less and less frequently in cycling due to the backlash from the mid 2000's doping expose. Cycling is getting cleaner, but it's reputation is hard to shake off, especially with some still using minor PEDs like inhalers. But show me a sport, any sport at all, where the elite athletes AREN'T using something that could be classified as such--you can't. Stop watching sports if you want humans to stop going to incredible lengths to compete in them.
@@skulleton Have you taken salbutamol? It's benefits are massive for someone like me with asthma. I feel like falling over from breathlessness but after two inhalations, I could even walk around like nothing. Now imagine a healthy person taking them for added performance.
fnikitathomas Salbutamol is known as a bronchodilator. It opens the bronchial tubes that get constricted during an asthma attack. Not sure if it could be used as an advantage over non bronchodilator users.
Are you sure??? Pantani career and life was completly destroyed unlike Armstrong and your precious Froome. During that Giro the italian police without any advice goin directly in the hotel to find the proves.
Armstrong was using EPO, which is way stronger, increases blood cell count etc. Inhalers are used as peds in all endurance (and other) sports; they don't do that much, but they do a little so people use em.
If this were almost any other rider in the world, there would be no news story, no shadow of doubt. His results would be revoked, and he'd face a 2-year suspension, with little hope of a successful appeal to CAS. Does that mean he's guilty? You tell me.
Chris Froome is as clean as Lance Armstrong so that should explain how cycling still has not been cleaned up. Lmfao all top athletes are now sick and dying with Asthma lmfao!!!!
Concentrations of many things are maintained at a fairly constant level in the blood. The same cannot be said for urine. It should be obvious to everyone that when you become dehydrated (as may well be the case when competing in such a gruelling event), that your urinary output goes down. That is, your urine becomes more concentrated so as to maintain water levels within your tissues. Of course, if you take drugs, then the metabolites of those drugs will appear in urine in direct proportion to the amount ingested. But without follow up of measured levels in the blood, it is much less meaningful. Would it be possible for the governing body, which has seen fit to make this information public, to also provide the actual measured levels, as well as the osmolality (concentration) of the urine itself?
1) He isn’t the highest payed cyclist, Peter Sagan is. 2) Stating this as a failed drug test is so wrong, the title makes you thing he’s cheating, whereas use of inhalers is legal and hence he isn’t banned. I still think He isn’t cheating. 3) Also athletes training extremely hard at high altitudes in low oxygen is known to damage the lungs and also cause asthma. So knowing that he had asthma, would cause his lungs to suffer even more on the hill climbs.
Not at the doses he was taking dude. I have asthma and if I was taking that much in such a short period of time. I should've been at the hospital already in the ICU with how bad the asthma is to need that much salbutamol.
There is a very fine line here that is considered doping, and what is not. Russia is ban for Olympic because of Mildronate. Mildronate is like L-carnitine, like caffeine. You can eat a lot of asperin and drink a liter of coffee, but it will not be doping. Not to mention that if the doctor appoints a steroid and the athlete receives them, then it is not doping. Look at tennis Williams sisters, they looks like men.
They should just call it the Tour de Asthma from now on. Can't believe how stupid these riders think we are. Asthmatic people rising to the top in a endurance sport.....don't think so.
raaspider From what Froome has said he took within the amount of goes on his puffer to be within the legal limit! Wether there were metabolic reasons why this threw out such a reading hopefully we will find out! I'm a Froome fan and I understand there are people who love him and those who don't. Having seen an interview on Sky today he looked visibly upset and shocked by the findings.
@@yuppp5885 Tested positive 1999 for cortisone, covered up with backdated phony doctor note. UCI under Verbruggen also took "donations" from Armstrong and Bruyneel. You can look it up
I understand that the shit storm happened while Lance was "king" but the drug use in the sport is, was and has been going on during Anquitil, Indurain, Eddy and many others for years even before that. It was just the hugely growing media machine that made this a mega-story during the Armstrong run. Blaming Lance is like blaming snow for snowing in Buffalo, NY (my home town). I hate seeing the positive tests rearing it's ugly head up again but it really isn't that great a surprise is it? There are no "superhuman" man who dominate like all these men had. They were just the best at marrying medicine and sport to gain an advantage. I still love to watch the great spectacle of cycling but I try not to be pollyanna as to fault. The fault is the human condition of greed, money and fame. Ride on boys and I'll watch and wait for the headlines later to see the positive results. Sad but true. Just my humble opinion my friend. Happy holidays to all!

Drug free person has never won tour de France. Its not even ment to be done without drugs.
eddie merckx
i will do it
@@lammensjack You thought Eddie was clean? Lol.
LOL. How the hell does Tour de France expect ANYONE 2 ride a damn bike, that fast, that long, w/out the use of drugs. They all on dope.

Brittany Boss you are right but sadly only the strongest riders are the ones that get exposed

Don't come pedaling that crap around here pal
froom......the best cyclist in the world is an asthmatic
if you look at the actual report he didnt actually fail a drug test as he doesnt require a tue for salbutamol and it is also not banned
If Froome has asthma does he gain an advantage from his medication? You know since he has *_asthma!_*

Same story. Hope he’s ready to lose all sponsors.

Should hit up Lance for tips

Quite a few million Americans apparently!! They disliked Hilary more as well!!
Bret H and Putin Lol
@@summerbreeze2340
No, she won the popular vote, Trump won the EC.
CNN, For the record, Chris hasn't failed a drug test....
Get your shit sorted before you go on line.....
I believe Chris Froom
1) He isn’t the highest payed cyclist, Peter Sagan is.
2) Stating this as a failed drug test is so wrong, the title makes you thing he’s cheating, whereas use of inhalers is legal and hence he isn’t banned. I still think He isn’t cheating.

ALL riders are NOT taking drugs haha
How does an asthmatic who needs to overuse his inhaler win a Grand Tour?
I can hear Gomer now...."surprise surprise!"

It´s easy with drugs. Otherwise Nairo would be the champion. Asthma my ass!
Juan Fernando Yepes
Why Nairo? He bottled it against Domoulin at the Giro and he got too greedy in the last 18 months by riding so many tours!
Is Froome the highest paid cyclist? Not Sagan?
if he knows what the rules are, why he take double the amount then? no excuse you failed me like lance....booo

No shit💬 Lance destroyed the sport 🤦🏽♂️
It's Lance's fault Froome tested positive? Huh?
J Mac no it’s his own fault, but no1 really believes anything in the cycling world and whose fault is that🤔. Just my humble opinion 💬
