'Explanation' for sure but 'simple'...nope.

yeah, something's not right here.

[Blown Reek]

Maybe he had a tough time cutting weight like a fighter before weigh-in. Cutting weight's tough on the kidneys.

[FlashUNC]

Just some light kidney failure. Nothing to see here.

That is such a reach it's a wonder he hasn't dislocated a shoulder.

Putting this all together with past doping scandals, is it possible that bad Spanish beef stressed his kidneys too much? Or was the inhaler a special model that his aunt brought him from Peru? Or was it his dog's inhaler? His twin's inhaler? The possibilities are endless...

That was good. Is there one person on this planet that believes this guy, or any of them don't "enhance?" Win at all costs. If it shaved 1 second off of his GC time, he would dislocated his shoulder, and every other guy on the team. Imho, of course.

gotta hand it to Armstrong. "everyone else was doing it!" is at least telling the truth.

I'll need to see a VAM comparison between athletes suffering from renal failure and a control group that isn't.

More like he needed the high doses to repair muscle after dislocating his neck from staring at his stem, which then led to some kidney problems. I mean get real this is Froome we're talking about.

Although maybe he could have dislocated a shoulder trying to poke the other riders with his elbows.

It's probably the same type of effect as the VAM difference between pro riders suffering an acute asthma attack during the race and the guys without asthma that they left for dead at the bottom of the climb.

When your kidneys are f...ing with you, even with a slight infection, you feel like cr@p. But this sucker did not feel anything, superman!

The motor in his seat tube is for the dialysis machine.
