Froome Guilty Of Doping?

What do you all think is Froome guilty of doping or where the TUE’s warranted? Seems like TUE’s for inhalers are very common. Is this legal doping? Should all TUE’s for inhalers be banned? How does one know if the “asthma” is legit or not. I have sports induced asthma and it’s a thing. Nothing like coughing for hours after a hard effort or event, or when it’s cold breathing sucks. My doctor when I was younger never gave me anything I just pushed on.

Froome is Dominating the Vuelta. Holding three jersey's leader, points, and combined. 

Will anyone step up and challenge? Will this go down like the tour where everyone just follows along? 

There is a Time trial however, maybe only a couple even have a shot at beating Froome there. 

TeJay is 5th 1′27″ back is the top placed American. Michael Woods with his 2nd place finish yesterday is the top Canadian 1″52″. 

VILLELLA Davide is the leading the Climbers for Team Cannondale-Drapac, Hoping sponsors see this and step up to the plate. 

Movistar is 19″ up with the team Classification.

next up is stage 10 with one cat 3 and one cat 1 climb. there is a downhill finish so look once again for Froome to put in an attack like he did during the tour.

keep an eye on Estiban Chaves sitting in 2nd the top Spanish rider. A win here would be huge.

week two coming up its make or break time for TeJay, Contador, Niballi, Roache and the like.

Please someone step up. Losing this pro cycling team would be a huge blow to Cycling in the USA. Me might not think do however this is one of 3 pro tour team in the US these teams keep the US relevant in cycling along with the tours of California and Utah.

We have the best corporations in the USA from tech to blue collar. It’s time to step up.

Once the USA loses one team we will become less relevant meaning teams will look elsewhere to compete. We have already lost with Mountain Biking. NORBA was once bigger than UCI. NORBA was put to rest by USA Cycling around 2006. It had irrelevant for a number of years prior.

Yes the cost of running a Pro Cycling team has gone up. Riders are starting to be paid like Rock Stars and if you don’t have a Rock Star no one will watch.

There where only three Americans at the tour and with coverage only on NBCSN no one watched and no one really wants to pay for NBCSN GOLD OR THE OLYMPIC CHANNEL.

With all these radio talk shows live on TV do these networks have anything left for real sports?

Time for someone to step up.

Team Orders

La Vuelta Stage 7

Looks to be a Downhill Sprint Finish today. Who are your favorites? With Degenkolb out does it lead to an opportunity for a break away?
