The Tour Is Over. Doping Doubts Are Not. (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/23/sports/cycling/tour-winner-cannot-break-away-from-doping-questions.html?hp)

PARIS — Chris Froome, the Tour de France winner on Sunday, was being peppered at a recent news conference with questions that furtively nibbled at a bigger issue — have you doped? — when his team director leaped into the fray, fairly bubbling with frustration.

Results for the past 15 years. Every picture is an admitted doper.

Great presentation of data. It would be at least as bad going back 25 years as opposed to just 15.

forget the doping froom was given food to avoid blonking beyond point were it wasn't allowed. If he hadn't got that food he would have blonked and lost the race
all sports have points were a wrong call by refs means a win for team or person that should have loss
apply rules correctly 1st before worring about doping

FIFY

Wasn't he given the appropriate penalty and fine according to the rules?

Should the Chicago Blackhawks' Stanely Cup win have an asterisk next to it because there was a tripping penalty in the second period that potentially stopped the Bruins from scoring a goal? Answer: No, the guy got two minutes in the box and the game went on... it's part of the game/sport.

So? He wouldn't be tossed out for this. What's the time penalty for this infraction?

20 seconds seems to be the standard penalty

The feed zone infraction is old news, Tony. Please keep up. ;)

Excellent article. Thanks for the heads-up.

According to Phil Jackson, the San Antonio Spurs' 1999 NBA Championship should have an asterisk next to it because it was a strike-shortened season.

Answer: suck my dik Phil, just deal with it. It's part of the game/sport. Froome rode according to Hoyle, thank you next please.

"Blonking"?

[velvig]

I think he means bonking, when you hit a wall and need something to give you a boost, food, energy gells, whatever. Also feed bags are referred to as bonk bags.

seems bonking is separate from doping.
