The Tour de France

Does the system of guilt in the matter of drug testing for athletes or …?

are factions within the sports world turn a blind eye to all the concept of performance enhancing drugs? Jones defends WADA test, Landis says Pound "In the long run, the system 'works of Stephen Wilson AP LONDON (Sept. 14) – The head of World Anti-Doping Agency defended the doping tests that involved Marion Jones and Floyd Landis in high profile cases, saying that "in the long term the system works. "WADA President Dick Pound said Thursday he is confident the EPO tests, which produced a positive initial finding of Jones, but were negative in the backup sample and testing testosterone caught Tour de France winner Landis. He said it was appropriate Jones was exonerated of any violation doping, because the samples in conflict. "We prefer to let some of those who may be guilty in freedom sanction anyone who should not be punished" said. Your thoughts on Barry Bonds, Floyd Landis, Marion Jones, etc. Are you satisfied with the outcome?

Unfortunately, we have reached a point where all are guilty of something. The players for the use of things, owners or organizations to look the other way, the sponsors for the use of these players to fatten their line background. In fact, money is the common factor in everything. The players do to get better statistics and to obtain lucrative contracts (not to mention the Hall of Fame time). The owners and organizations to do it because people will buy tickets to see these players. Sponsors do so because comsumers buy their products. I'm sure there are more examples if I thought a little more. It just goes on and on and on …. Sorry to say that the only way I see attitudes change over the use of these drugs is that someone dies on the pitch on national television. That's a real sad commentary on today's athletes. There was someone using something with ephedra in it who died in training camp a few years ago. Right after, all that was out of the shelves. I think I read recently a judge overturned the ruling had any involvement in the death players. I have not heard if things off the shelves again however.

EPO TE QUIERO

Cycling SI really want to clean is to act, would not grant amnesty to those who confess to cheating?

It's crazy that Riis has the balls to admit to doping, and has its Tour de France entitled stripped from him. Meanwhile, drug spineless as Ullrich, Armstrong, Indurain, Pantani and stay with their titles. I guess the Tour wants to send the message that you need to cheat, and do not have the integrity to win.

Amnesty would only allow confessed drug addicts to continue to compete without penalty (no suspension), but rightly, IMO must rescind their victories. LeMond has been dating? Pantani is the only on your list that was ever proven to be a junkie. Ullrich – the jury is still as far as doping, there is no real proof, however, and no evidence or even argument that was doped when he won the TDF. Indurain, no argument, no suspicion (except the LeMond), no positive evidence. Armstrong – simply by French vendatta and Canadian Dick Pound. The only indication of something bad were the experimental study carried out by the hacks LNDD eat cheese. Newsflash – the test is used to implicate Armstrong '99 tour was not accepted. Why? because the test kept giving too many false positives. The cast for proof of age, which showed armstrong clean. Cycling towarding go a long way to clean up your image if you want to get rid of that loudmouth wit and a half pounds and revoke the license LNDDs. There are plenty of other IOC qualified laboratories that do not have a cycling program against a tabloid media outlet (Le'Equippe) quidproquo obviously in agreement.

Stone the Dopers!

How to win the Tour de France

If you are in the cycle road races, you already know that you need to keep an eye on the rest cycling pilot shirts you know that the leaders of the race are. Even if you only watch cycling on TV from time to time, you probably already know as a general knowledge in the Tour de France rider with the yellow jersey is the leader.

By saying that the person with the yellow jersey in cycling is not always the one for continue monitoring at all stages of the race. Some stages of the Tour de France to incorporate some very difficult climbs, and who is the leader with this type of section race has its own shirt. Many times the person who runs on this mountain stage is called the king of the mountains, and be seen wearing a white polka-dot jersey read. It may be the If better climbs the mountain are not the best in sprint races and other sections of the whole tour, so although they are leaders in the difficult slope increases, generally not be a threat to beat anyone wearing the yellow jersey.

A lot of the stages of the Tour de France – and other major cycling races – which are created to run, and those who are the first to perform these sprints, there are points, whereby the position to maintain in that section. The acquisition of points is the objective testing of equipment and personal. There are fewer points awarded in the mountain stages, climbing and specialists typically earn them. Riders Points are added, and the pilot who has points in addition to the highest count is then awarded the green jersey.

So there's more to it then just keeping a close eye on the yellow jersey when watching cycling has been televised. In the Tour de France there are quite a few colors available, one of them the white jersey is there for the younger drivers – at the moment the shirts are for drivers who are under 26 years of age. It is important to note that these classifications cycling jerseys that are only applicable to the Tour de France, and the image will become very confusing if you are watching another race and I know that is another main visits.

There are three major races, the Grand Tours is what is called a whole, and these include the Tour de France Giro d'Italia and the Tour of Spain. The Spanish Vuelta jerseys prizes that are very close to the French Tour, the overall leader's golden jersey carries, and points leader is a green jersey. In Spain, the King of the Mountains will be wearing red instead of moles.

Giro d'Italia, a system very different from cycling jerseys, the overall leader will be wearing a pink jersey, the points leader will be dressed in red, and the king of the mountains will to wear a green jersey, but this gets confused with
awards at the Vuelta, as cyclists will be seen wearing the opposite.

Are you a winner then if you are wearing a yellow shirt on bike? Maybe. Depend on the race checking out, but hopefully now you will find of secret information needed to be able to understand that you should focus on the next time you sit to watch cycling on TV
