'Unless somebody fails a dope test, they're not doping' 😂😂😂 Really? That's like saying that if a Court of Law fails to prove a murderer (a person who actually killed people) guilty, then that person is not a murderer but innocent. 'Innocent until proven guilty' .. the biggest lie ever . If someone killed somebody, he/she is a killer, no matter if a Court of Law proves him/her guilty or not. Likewise, if a cyclist is doping, he/she is doping no matter if he/she fails a doping test or not. A cyclist may have been doping for the last 8 races, but he/she was only tested for doping upon the 8th race. He/she fails the test. That doesn't mean that during the previous 7 races he/she was not doping, just because he/she didn't fail a dope test (which was never done).
It's still possible to use unauthorised methods. Epo is untraceable, but the ratio of new vs old red bloodcells is measured/tested. Are there too many new cells, in short time, then this means the use of unauthorised substances or methods. Now, this could be corrected with a blood transfusion, which is also unauthorised, but when used to correct this, it is also untraceable.
Too much money involved. Clearly he's juiced. Every era hed his champion, guess what…all fukin doped. All of them got doped once. At this level you can't be so much faster respect others for so long time. They need to create a super guy that keep cycling alive
It is now impossible to dope in cycling, there is no sport that is more strictly controlled. If I discovered tomorrow that fig seeds increase performance, I would eat them without hesitation, provided they are not on the banned list. This is not doping.
Having watched cycling since 1985 as a serious fan…..I have seen all the dopers…..watched all the scandals…..been wowed by superhuman performances……and on the experience of what I have seen and learned from decades of experience, I would say yes. However, I honestly think that the majority of the big riders are not clean either. The thing that worries me about Pogi is his bloody team manager who has a terrible reputation for doped riders!
Yeah but Armstrong was tested thousands of times and never tested positive. His problem was he was an Ahole to many other riders and they did not like him so they made accusations and exposed him. Tadej is friendly and likeable. I have not heard any other riders that dislike him. That’s the difference
As a teenager Pogacar was out performing his peers and also much older good riders. Either he was doping then or he is just a natural talent. My money is that he's a natural talent – for him to have been doping at that age would have to mean his parents and everybody else around him had to be in on the act.
Someone has to be the best. That doesn't prove doping. He is very suspicious due to peaking for an entire season and recovering in days after spring classics one week after another. Other cyclist don't seem to have this ability to peak for 6 months and recover overnight. That's truly unique only to him. Sus.
Pogi deserves the benefit of the doubt until there's even circumstantial evidence that he's doping; being far outside of "normal" doesn't prove anything. Most riders don't fall into the mean and with a standard distribution and enough data points (riders), there's going to be some extraordinary riders. If performance alone was enough, then Mercx doped, Major Taylor doped, Hinault doped, LeMond doped and Remco must have doped too. Amstrong was an A-hole and surrounded with suspicion for most of his career and while it saddened me, it did not surprise me when he can clean.

Das einige was da sauber ist, ist sein Fahrrad beim Start.
Its clean until proven otherwise, not anything else to it really. If nothing comes out in 5 years its probably clean.
You're racing 100s of miles, everyday, for about a month. You'd have to be a dope to think these people are 🦸♂️ superman!!!

La domanda stupida è quella della reporter che se avesse analizzato il curriculum di Pogacar al Giro avrebbe avuto la soluzione delle sue performance!
Daaaaaaaaaaa

Maledicencia DE GENTE ENVIDIOSA!!!!

Naive people….
Not tested for, undetectable 💉💉💉🚴♀️🚴♀️

Every professional cyclist is or has been cheating in some way.
I don't need extraordinary proof, because this is not an extraordinary alligation😂😂😂
Si me dopo yo q soy amateur ahora q será el mejor ciclista del mundo. Dinamita pura
Since we can't post GIFs here, I try my best to show you the GIF I'm thinking of: 💪🏻😎🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏼♂️ 🎥🤐🤫

Why would people start such BS discussions or rumours?
Who really cares…lesbehonest here
They’re just on better drugs now, all of them
Americans are so used to their doped athletes winning that the can't conceive that other countries winning athletes don't dope.🇺🇸
Doped. 💯

Paige Bueckers no different than Stewart or Dinosaur Taurasi boring and nobody wants to watch them.
To be fair, other riders NEVER throw accusations out until, curiously, they depart from cycling.

ciclismo uguale Mafia
The myth lives on… we will know in 10 year latest.. in the end…. it doesn't matter
That blonde should be ashamed of herself.
Impossible to do what he's doing without the juice. Let's really not be this naive especially with what we do know about the sport.

Also, we would have to believe he has all these wins and super human recovery abilities against others who are doping? Not likely.
