  1. As the saying goes, there's something rotten in Denmark about Rasmussen's
    domination. And also there's something rotten in Denmark about Discovery
    having two in the top 4. If there is something illegal going on here, the
    time for the French Police to act, is now, not 3 months after the final
    podium presentation in Paris.

    Too late for the French Police (?) to field a team. Good idea, though.

    Could you please shut up. I'm not saying Rasmussen is clean -- I
    believe most top pros are doing something.

    But your logic about whoever does really well being doping is just
    tiresome.

    Why should there be anything rotten or criminal going on here? Rasmussen is
    a very focussed guy, who has demonstrated that he's the most consistent
    super-climber in the peloton three years running. This time he's got his
    team riding to support him.

    This doesn't prove he's /not/ doping, of course. But it certainly isn't any
    sort of evidence that he is.

    It may be only circumstantial, but it's still evidence.

    Cofidis team manager Eric Boyer:

    "For the past three years he (Rasmussen) has been a great rider for
    the three weeks of the Tour. Before and after, we don't know where he
    is. When you know how the human body of a top cyclist works, it just
    doesn't make sense."

    Except that when he deigned to show up in other events he was very
    strong.

    3 minutes is domination? Very close tour. I think it is perfectly
    natural to expect a natural climber to do well in the mountains. Much
    more questionable is when guys weighing 75+ kilos are dominating in
    the mountains beating the climbers.

    I'm waiting for a Chung Chart before reaching a conclusion...

    Indeed. And with better reason.
