There was a photo of Rasmussen floating around about a year ago where he was sitting with his shirt off and he looked sickly skinny. I want to show it to someone.

Wasn't Moreni caught with excessive levels of testosterone? I know the two have some overlapping effects but faik anabolic steroids have the result of bulking muscle mass which testosterone does not do as much. Please correct me if I am wrong on this.
I agree Rasmussen looks like he is seriously sick.

Yes, 1999 mountain worlds, and there was a big to-do about that when he began riding for Rabobank a few years later. People didn't like that he was wearing mountain world champ stripes while on a road bike. The idea is to wear the stripes only for the discipline you earned them in. That's why you see Cancellara only wear his world champion stripes when he's on his TT bike. Former champs sometimes opt to wear the stripes on their team kit sleeves (Cipollini) and some don't (Armstrong).

He's a prick and a villain.
The world's stripes, the thinking he could get away with missing his controls, the smug sound-clips, and those damed glasses he was wearing one the podium!
i just watched the replay and my stomach was turning to see him win the stage. Thant and listening to those idots drone on about how great he was.
I wish Vs. would step up and have some serious debate about dope. they have 3 ex-tour riders who could have a great discussion. But i guess they are of the old gaurd of cycling that ignores the problem.

testosterone is definitely a steroid, an anabolic steroid.
steroids are maolecules based on the cholesterol skeleton. the ending '-oid' means '-like'. choler-sterol is a steroid made in the liver (hence the first part of the name 'choler': don't ask). it is the steroid made in the testes (mostly). it has a double bonded oxygen in it, hence the -one, like in acetone.
so its named testo-ster-one
next week, lesson two.

Steroids help with recovery, maintaining good muscle to weight ratio. Cyclists use far less than a bodybuilder would, or even a track star.

I think most people are referring to the difference between testosterone and anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS). Testosterone is produced naturally in the body, AAS is a synthetic analog of testosterone created in a lab.

Yeah, you have to be super skinny to begin with because of stregnth to weight ratio, and after 21 days of racing, you really beat up your body and get even skinnier.
If you look at pictures of Lance towards the end of a Tour he looks very emaciated, not concentration camp skinny like Rasmussen, but definitely looked unhealthy.

With all due respect, I seem to remember reading that there was a lot of doping back then as well. Not saying Greg or the other guy (??) did/didn't, but just that it's not like doping is new in the last 10 years.

I believe that is Bernard Hinault.
One thing to remember with Lemond and Hinault, neither were natural climbers like Rasmussan.
Comparing Lemond to Rasmussan is like comparing a Kenyan marathon runner to Michael Johnson. Completely different body types designed for completely different styles of running.

One side affect to steroids is the ability to hinder cortisone. Thus increasing recovery time on worn out muscles from a 200k ride. Steroids, while traditionally used to increase bulk, in an aerobic situation have the nice affect of recovery.

Yes, but Coppi has admitted to riding on stimulants.
I'm for cleaning up the sport. I don't care what excuses are made for cheating with pharms. History isn't an excuse. The mountains aren't an excuse. The fact is, not every single rider in the tour is cheating. If one single rider is left who isn't using pharms, doping, etc., he is being robbed of a deserved yellow jersey. And if in fact there if it is true that there are only a handful of those riders left, they are probably more deserving of that jersey than any riders before them. My opinion that cycling needs to clean up, that anything else is cheating, is unwavering. I've held this belief for over a decade. I was having this same discussion in the 1980's.
