Cheating in our sport?

Looks like there might well be doping occurring - though obviously one drugged up swallow does not make a summer....

I cheat! I take shortcuts wherever I can :-)

is that a comment about the fact that DH riders actually have fun whilst riding their bikes or that you think that they don't train hard, work hard and generally work their balls off to be the best they can be at their chosen discipline?

Im sure some of them train as hard and as much as they can do. I guess the results probably reflect this. Aaron Gwin seems to win most of the time, he looks like he trains hard.

To be fair, I dont take much interest in it anymore. But I do remember the days when (some of) the pros used to laugh at the idea of keeping fit, they'd prefer to be getting rad and supping beers instead. Which is obviously a proper good laugh, but I guess its hard to be taken seriously with this sort of outlook?

yep DH riders never train that's why nathan rennie's power output was up among the track sprinters when the AIS measured it.
