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."

Could be said about Armstrong too..

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...
