For some reason these kids kicked ass when they were 5,6,7,8,9 and 10 years old as well. Were they juicing then as well ?
I'm not naive and think we don't have drugs in this sport, but how much are they actually helping?
Both will have a huge effect on any athlete.
I don't think it should be but it is as far as I know.
10% gain in training load and adaptation is the difference between 1st and 5th.

Point is most of these riders dominated as young children, breaking records and are now doing the same.
Again, not dumb enough to think drugs are not in any pro sport, but are the drugs making winners out of kids already winning or?

If anyone's using PEDs(and just like any sport someone is), it's the lower level riders that can't afford the nutritionists/trainers /expensive blood work that shows what's really going on with the body.
You are fresher quicker and can go harder for longer and more often.
As I said you do not know enough to understand this and how physiology works.
When was the last season where every race was determined by half a second or less?
At what test track is every racer almost at the same pace?
Pit Row
It's always the guys with a little knowledge that want to sound like experts do the most damage
And I also think Choppy has a valid point in not comparing the TDF (or bicycle racing in general) to MX. They are two different sports that require different kinds of fitness. You're saying that a 35 min moto will return a stress of 90tss. So what does one day in the TDF get up to? The recovery period between the sports is a huge difference. MX riders have a week to recover whereas a TDF rider has less than a day to recover before their next race. I'm not arguing that PED's wouldn't help an MX rider's endurance, but I am saying that you can only push a motorcycle so fast around a track and I think the endurance to do that could be achieved without PED's.
And what equation did you use to get that TSS?
Unless you have actually done and been tested for PED'S you don't know shit!!!
Secondly, I remember UpTiTe from a previous moto board and the dude has some serious "insight." Not to say he can't be wrong with an opinion but he's pretty spot on about things regarding the industry.
Banter is banter but all this PED talk whenever Rv or Aldon are mentioned is a joke. How about how Tomac came on so strong half way through the season,and Johns involvement in cycling? What about Dungey and his fitness,being on par with Rv? How about Davi during SX this year compared to last? People can build this conspiracy theory over all kinds of riders performances yet have no proof =ing talking out there asses.
Drugs in sports,yup. Drugs in MX,probably. Proof that the top guy and his trainer are involved in PEDs,nope.
Hypothetically speaking of course, someone with RVs resources has access toproducts that are undectable from most test that most will throw at him. Howlong did they have to store Armstrongs blood before they came up with a test that could detect it? Years.
