People aren't going to like the last bit about Wiggo and Froomedog...
ironically, the info I'd seen was 'just look how wiggins and froom can't do the same as the guys from the 90's"..
So who won from 1999 to 2005, a question we've all been asking. Found this blog link.

That's what I heard. I read an interview with Wiggins where Rogers was telling him that the wattages Nibali etc were putting out on a break were such that unless the rider was doped it was unsustainable. He was proved right.

Forgot to say that at the moment there is no official 3rd place in the 2005 tour de france. Correct me if I'm wrong. I was going to say this earlier, but just been reminded by a piece crackle posted. Which actually says things better than I could.

Excellent article, my only minor quibble with it would be the comparison of the 1988 men's 100m sprint olympic final aka 'the dirtiest race in history'. Does the author fully realise how good a comparison this actually is or not?

From Cycling News....
Spidertech-C10 team director Steve Bauer, who wore the yellow jersey in the Tour de France for 14 days in the mid-to-late 1980s, said it's time to put the controversy to rest.
“I have a personal statement that's pretty simple,” he told Cyclingnews on Friday. “Lance versus USADA has nothing to do with our sport now. And that's all I have to say about that.”
But Bauer did have more to add, saying the future of the sport looks positive because of the much stricter drug testing regimes and protocols.
“The UCI has done a great job of developing the anti-doping program: the biological passport that all our professional cyclists have to abide by and adhere to,” he said. “We have the most stringent anti-doping policy of any sport in the world, which has probably imposed the cleanest professional sport in the world. So that's it. That's all I've got so say.”
Bauer, for those who don't know, was slyly beaten to silver in '84 in LA by an american cyclist, Grewal, who later admitted to doping.
Bauer is a bit of a hero of mine, having grown up in the same town, and I think his views should be respected, he knows what he is on about.
