    So explain to me, in your own words, what that actually means. Because if you can't do that then you can't understand the fraudulent bias of the system and are just someone who has been seduced by 'science' that tells you want you want ot hear.

    Why did you label this thread (None doping related) when all you wanted to do was talk about Sky and your obsession with claiming they are doping? And as there was not a Sky doping thread running currently, you thought you would invent one. :roll:

    Can we just change the title of this thread to " Are sky doping? " and resume normal business. :lol:

    I blame Leinders . Froome has been just to good,

    The Mt Ventoux for instance, if you think that's a clean ride you must have sh%t in your eyes.

    Telling it like I see it.

    unfortunatly how anyone sees it bears no relation to reality

    Witness how Messers Wenger or Mourinio see a challenge in the penalty box completely differently depending on whether or not it was their player that was tackled/tackling

    I want to know how the forum experts that think sky are clean explain these things. So far the answers have been far from convincing.

    This isn't the Hog though, is it. He's a full on troll, always has been regardless of forum or topic. This new bloke is more of an easily lead fool.

    Bloody hell, compared to what you write on here, that's really well written (if very debatable). That is your own words, isn't it?

    Sky have more money

    Froome going 100% on the first important climb of the tour is better than Andrew Talansky or guys not trying very hard

    Seems convincing to me

    If you disagree with me, you're wrong. Good argument.

    Come on. No amount of explaining will ever be good enough. I don't even know why you're pretending to be objective.

    Even if at the end it handily points out that this theory hasn't been validated in any way shape or form and all it really tells us is that Chris Froome was much faster than all the people he beat.

    What do you mean? Riis didn't even know about warming down or power meters. Clean riders should be able to beat his time.

    In sport, somebody is always the best. This is as true of a sport with no doping as a sport with lots of it. Who is best is dictated by nature (genetics) and nuture (youthful experience). In a team sport the best will tend to gravitate to the team which can give them success and money - two factors which are intertwined. Success attracts money and money pays for better facilities and staff.

    Rather than asking people on this forum, go and read Moneyball by Michael Lewis and The Sports Gene by David Epstein. Then you might understand a little about sport.

    No they won't. But those drugged up bastards at Sky will beat his time. Riding backwards on the big ring with their mouths closed.

    I think the FACT that Froomes times up some of the tours cols, puts him quicker than a whole bunch of dopers is quite telling.

    IMO

    That's because there's only some much you can say about the desert races, and people are sick of the same old bollocks being trotted out with so little evidence other than a pre-set agenda.

    FFS guys just leave the troll alone and the thread will die. The last PoS doping thread has finally been closed so a new one is being created, all that's going to happen is the same old circular arguments and this site spiralling even further down the s*itter.

    You sound angry. I just wanted to make a comparison between the two cleanest teams in the peloton.

    No one has presented any evidence that shows how sky can be so much better.

    Well I presented the evidence that Sky have about three times the budget that Garmin do - but you used your lack of understanding to refute its relevance.
