I think you are confusing you tucking your trousers into your socks and pootling around on your Raleigh with one of the most demanding sports there is.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 If you don't think that cycling is a demanding sport then, quite frankly, you're a ducking idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be honest, how many of them do you think took PEDs? L Lewis S Redgrave D Beckham P Radcliffe J Wilkinson K Holmes A Flintoff Z Phillips J Calzaghe C Hoy R Giggs AP McCoy M Cavendish B Wiggins A Murray L Hamilton M Farah The problem with that question is: "what is a PED?" Say, just as a random example, a rugby player takes a painkiller to go out and play (an issue which has been discussed in the press a lot this week), is that a PED? Without the drug he (she) wouldn't be able to play well. Does that make it performance enhancing? I couldn't imagine being able to cycle 150 miles on the flat in a week let alone up the Alps in a day without being out of my skull on something, nor run a marathon in 3 hours. I'd absolutely need something extra to get me on any horse in the first place never mind race over fences at 40mph. It's pointless. All these people are extremely good sportspeople in their chosen field. Some are the best in the world at what they've chosen to do. And if the current rules of the game allow them (and others) to pass whatever tests are set then so be it; if the future reassesses their cleanliness then so be that too.

I dont think its pointless at all. I get the bit about taking something legal, like your rugby player example, but if its taking something illegal and youve found a way to hide or mask it, its cheating.
