The hugely underrated Michael Rogers. Was extremely unlucky a year or two back when he was looking great for a very high GC placing but crashed.

Also like Bradley Wiggins - modest, unassuming,...

Lemond and Boardman - illness and drugs link?

Some years ago they both revealed they were suffering from a muscle wasting disease. Does anyone know if they still have the illness, and whether it is a known side effect off steroid/drug abuse?

What Evans did was rather more than rudeness. He lashed out at the reporter not once, but twice. Secondly, the head-butting incident, considering the speed Evans was travelling, could easily have...

I do think Evan's highly strung personality, extreme sensitivity and paper-thin mental toughness contributed to his poor time trial. These character traits burn up a lot of energy, and I think this...

Evans - serious personality disorder or...?

just unable to handle the pressure? With his lashing out at all and sundry, his poor TT performance, and lack of grace in defeat with his (not very) veiled hints at Sastre doping, does he need...

This is about the only situation when I couldn't care if a rider was doping - anything to prevent the whingeing apology for a sportsman from winning. Evan's behaviour throughout was a disgrace - why...

I liked to think the same thing - that if there was anyone who wasn't doping it was Big Mig, and that his performance was down to his physical attributes (superhuman lung capacity and 28 bpm heart...

As I said in my previous post, you cannot say, as fact, that they are not ALL doping. We simply don't know, but as I also said, with the great rewards, fairly lenient sanctions, and the cheats, be...

I do think it's a litle naive to say, as fact, that they don't all do it, or that dopers are in the minority now, in the same way Chris Boardman says Cavendish isn't on drugs. The fact is, we don't...
