All cyclist used dope this years so …. useless to make a video off this. everyone knows did they used… everyone…. also Coppi, Anqetil etc etc
Interesting! Work on your Dutch pronunciation of the names though…
wasnt sean king kelly rumored to enhance his form too? whats concerning is that in last few years no major scandals in cycling, they either finally got clean or new drugs are undetectable
My uncle beated Rooks in the amateurs in the 80's before Rooks went pro.
My father spoke to him a few years ago he stlll remembered that race, Rooks is a nice guy.
It's good that Cycling Stories acknowledges that Serie A was awash with dope in the 80's and 90's We all should know what Dr Ferrari said about the Spain National football team in the early to mid 2000's. Cyclists are an easy target when talking about doping but loads of other sports must do it. I know a famous former SPL (Scotland) footballer who said in his 15 year SPL carear he was tested no more than 2-3 times a year. I'm not accusing him of taking PED's but a couple of tests a year is a joke
Lance Armstrong shared the TDF podium with 14 other cyclists. 13 of them forfeited their podium finishes due to doping. I was the last person alive to believe Lance was clean, but this second fact is what really turned me off the sport. I love cycling, but it is not about competition.
WAIT WAIT… so the ITALIAN football team got done for doping…and YET later WINS a WORLD FIFA CUP and THE VERY NEXT YEAR THE ENTIRE ITALAIN FOOTBALL LEAGUE is thrown into DISRIPUTE YET AGAIN for rigging wins??????. OH WOW. NOT mind blown…..Go BIDEN????. BAAAAAAAAAA.
Its just nice to hear someone using their real voice to narrate instead of that AI crap.
Even then mullets not compatible with such an honorable sport.
They've been juicing since day one.
All of them.
Doping is the soul of cycling. Like the scream of a v10 engine in Formula 1. Both need to be brought back.
So Roche beat Delgado who was juiced to the gills?
Great thumbnail
You sound very Irish
Love the vid
💯
say 33 and a third
WONT ANYONE TELL ME WHERE THIS NARRATOR HAS GONE!?! Please
mais…putain….vous en avez quoi à foutre ? vous courriez en compétition avec ces guerriers qui nous ont fait plaisir, et ils vous ont fumés ? ou alors vous blablater sans raisons ? comme des importants " justiciers"…..😂
7 hours up mountains on a bike …..you d have to be on some sort of drugs … just to attempt it….
brilliant as usual
Blood doping far outdated EPO. Blood doping was available from the late 1940s onward. Given the technology available (both for transportation and refrigeration) it would have been a unique circumstance for blood doping to be used. I would bet that Merckx's hour record was blood doped.
From 80 to 83 I was stationed in Panama with the US Army. There was a circuit and a road race every weekend. I had the opportunity to compete with Parra, Herra, Cochise, AND the US road team in those years. My experience leads me to disbelieve that lumbering hulks could be the mosquito-like Columbians in climbs. I was painfully aware of their prowess in climbs. As always, a great Cycling Story!
Love you opened with clips of Roberto G
AI narrator makes this unlistenable.
