    I don't know enough about the drug to comment whether you'd "need" it throughout the GT to sustain the weight loss advantages, but that would surprise me.

    isnt the problem in a GT though that the riders are burning so many calories every day, and basically only eating one major meal, its actually harder to keep the weight up, rather than keep it off, not saying they get to eat steak every night, but I thought that was a big issue trying to eat enough to keep going

    Depends.

    Some riders gain weight.

    Well, those who were looking forward to Freeman speaking will be disappointed. He's confirmed he prescribed Wiggins medication, the Jiffy bag contained Flumicil, he didn't prescribe anything he didn't feel was needed and was never put under pressure to do so. He also said he'd prescribe it again in the same situation as part of an holistic approach. So much for the scorned doctor thrown under a bus getting his revenge.

    I note Dan Roan is on the case again. Is there a cycling event significant to the wider media in the near future? Icarus 2, go on, giz a role, go on, go on, giz it...

    He's been in Russia. He must have realised that creating a scandal there will likely result in his death.

    There's no scandal in Russia. Despite fears everyone is welcoming to gay and black people. Just don't come back next month.

    This hasn't been posted yet, but Matthew Syed's interview with Dr Freeman is very revealing. It paints Sutton as basically an a-hole, puts the whole jiffy bag think down to a falling out between Sutton and Wiggins* over Range Rover.

    It's funny that Syed, seen as a Braislford apologist has got a better interview out of him that Poundshop Paxman Dan Roan.

    Funny that the Brailsford apologist wrote a piece supportive of sky?

    I thought it was firewall free as I'd seen it in full. Turns out it was my free article of the week so I couldn't read Dickenson's Froome interview today.

    I tell you what I would find funny. If Dan Roan, Matt Lawton, Martha Kelner etc were all called back from Russia to cover the Grand Depart instead of England v Sweden.

    Hard to know if Tucker will be more annoyed about what is said or just that Syed did the interview....
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    It's when the English players get on the bus to the airport on Sunday morning.

    This seems to be a common view of Sutton.

    Purely guessing, but since we don't know who the mole was yet it could well be about who that was and what their motivation was. I imagine there could be some non-doping related salacious details

    Hasn't it been established that the mole is Shane Sutton who fell out with Wiggins when he didn't buy him a Range Rover

    Seems like you can't let it lie either. Just because someone doesn't share your beliefs doesn't mean they can't have their say.
    Everyone is so entrenched on the subject it's pointless debating it, though it would be nice to just enjoy the racing.

    we probably could but it doesnt help when one of the main protagonists involved, starts talking about it all again.and without a book to shift it seems, but in a way that sounds even crazier than some of the fan conspiracy theories.

    Recent interview with Richard Freeman
    “I felt for Sutton,” Freeman said. “He’d lost [his role at] British Cycling, he’d fallen out with Bradley, there was some bust-up about a promised Range Rover or something, it didn’t come. Then there was a bust-up between Shane and Cath Wiggins. If you fall out with someone’s wife, that’s the kiss of death.

    “So Shane sends me messages: ‘A reporter knows you gave triamcinolone on the back of the bus.’ I thought, ‘Woah, this is [a] set-up’, so I’m not even going to answer the phone, I put him on block. Then a reporter doorstepped [the physio] Phil Burt. I’ve seen Phil Burt’s statement to UK Anti-Doping [Ukad], he told them it was Fluimucil.”
