    Perfectly valid to post here. Especially as we have a thread devoted to predictions on who's going to get popped at the Tour.

    For comparison's sake, tennis:

    "Of the 2,150 tests carried out by the ITF in 2011, the last set of figures available, 131 were blood tests and only 21 were out of competition".

    Hmm it's a tenuous link granted.. with one slight difference the other thread is *only* a tad boring, as apposed to a 35 page report :roll:

    We discuss doping here but the difference is that its not tin foil brigade stuff - which is must definitely accommodated in the Clinic.

    This is a fact-based report of details of the tests carried out by the CADF last year. Quite a difference from wild conspiracy theories and people claims to 'know things' relating to x or y doping - which when pushed they cant back up (Digger calling....)

    It would be incredibly naive to ignore the topic of doping given our sport's chequered history.

    I came across a lovely example of the "tin foil brigade stuff" when I wandered over to the Clinic earlier. Apparently Sagan's "puffy cheeks" at the Tour de Suisse is evidence of doping (likewise with Giovanni Visconti at the Giro)!

    Thanks for this, all i hear from my non cycling friends is the doping argument - as Turfle puts it interesting to have facts/numbers to compare to other sports who "don't have a problem".
