Cycling is about doping with out getting caught.
If you don't understand that, you are lacking on common sense.
The last time I looked, the trainer didn't have his ass on the line.
"Why hire him in the first place?"
I'm not buying it.
James and RC were winning on 65cc bikes by over a minute, the same on 80's and 125's etc. so what has changed?

BTW: Did you watch RC race 65s, 80s and 125s?
Maybe I assumed incorrectly, but, I thought the implication here was that James and Aldon split because James didn't want any part of what you are implying.
If that was the case, why hire him in the first place.
I'm not buying this either.
And why would anyone think it would only be one trainer with the good stuff?
I think it is the 100% commited program and I don't think the riders got anything more than insurance out of it. Because these were guy's that always won anyway.
But James, most of us beleive needs to BACK IT DOWN!
I understand blazing speed requires great strength but do you really train for strength or late moto fitness? Can you do both at once?
And you yourself are talking about training harder. Those riders were already the fastest the results prove. And you just agreed that they trained harder?
That wasn't the point. Nevermind.
I have been round and round on this VERY SUBJECT so many times , it makes me puke!
There are things on the market ( right over the friggin' counter! ) you can buy , that will enhance and stimulate muscle growth.......and none of that shit works , unless you MAKE IT work! Diet , exercise , rest , and a shit load of determination is what gets these guys to the top. The ONLY advantage a drug / supplement will help you with is muscle recovery or stamina ( and a few other things )........they do nothing for SPEED!
You are born with it.....or you are NOT born with it.....and no mater how many drugs you put into yourself , it isn't going to make you faster.
Jim.....I've always respected your views on many different things.....but I have to disagree with you on this. Bringing truthful things out in the open is one thing.....but to accuse someone ( anyone ) of doing stuff like that.....you have to have proof.
Believe it or not ( and I don't care who you are ) genetics play a huge role in every sport! And sooner or later.....you come across a couple phenoms that have all the right pieces!
Some people don't need dope to be successful , no matter how people accuse them of it!
Just so you know......I'm a fitness freak as well. And I know damn well what's available legally , and illegally. I've been around and read about shit like this for 25 years.
Bash away.
Pit Row
Is that really so hard to understand?
Do you hire a fishing guide to take you bear hunting?
Do you hire a IT guy to work on your car?
Do you hire a plumber to re-wire your house?
There is a small percentage of people out there that just plain and simple have the genetics to do well at what they compete in.
There were a couple friends of mine i went to hi-school with that fit the exact same stereotypical "drug users" you guys are trying to find. And you know what.....they were not!
At least not the type of drugs you guys are implying. One example is a buddy of mine named Alan. The dude had started smoking weed when he was in 8th grade. And still to this day.....he smokes weed. All the years of growing up around this guy , he never visited a gym to save his life. what pissed me off about him was....he was built like fucking Tarzan! I worked out all the time , and couldn't get myself to even come close to what he looked like. He was strong as a friggin' ox on top of it.
OR....the 3 pense brothers I grew up with. all three of those guys had mutant strength....and all 3 almost made it into the NFL out of college. All three of them were benching over 380lbs in hi-school. Mike....the youngest one , put up 440lbs his senior year.
Genetics.
Am I saying that some riders don't dope? NO.....I know some of them probably do. But you can't accuse someone of doing it , unless you have proof.
Bottom line.....if you were any kind of an athlete in school and up to your mid to later 20's.....how did you feel? i don't know about you , but i felt indestructible! i didn't need any drugs to make me feel that way.....and some of these guys that are being accused of doping.....live a hell of a lot cleaner life than I ever did. + they have a shit load of talent on top of it.
I also come to realize , that "most" of the guys that start throwing accusations around like that , are guys that had no hope at all making it in this sport. They were born with shitty genetics.........so "they" think , in "their" mind.......another person couldn't possibly achieve better....without doping!
Sorry....but I have some fat friends , some short friends , some tall and lanky friends , and some friends that are built like a sherman tank. We all have different genetics.
It's always easy to throw in the "doping" thing.......when someone else passes you up 10X in the sport you love. learn to deal with it.
I'm done.
Was Magoo ( Godspeed ) using PEDs when he completely destroyed the fastest riders in the world at the Trophy des nations and MX des nations?
What about JMB when he came over here and made us all look stupid?
What about Ron Lechien who was not only a hard time drug user.....but still mopped up on the competition while he was doing it?
What about the great MC? he ruled SX for 8 years ( won 7 titles ).....was he doping to?
Or what about the great Rick Johnson? Think he doped up ....because he won a lot of titles?
Things have changed for the better in sports nutrition alone. Cyclist are known for doping....but that is also because of the type of sport they are in. Extremely high endurance levels!
And so if we are not going to accuse any of the past champions I listed above.......why would RC be accused of it? Because he was a little more dominant than MC and the rest? Because he is considered the GOAT.......so lets shine this big fucking spot light and microscope on him??
Why isn't someone like KW ( no effing way! ) being accused as well. Being at his age and still winning? what about James , CR , RV and the rest?
OK....now I'm done!
people are dumb as shit. nobody believed it was in baseball even when canseco was telling anyone who'd listen.
nobody here has the slightest clue what it means to be as competitive as a professional athlete. when you are than competitive, you will do whatever it takes to win.
the bikes arent legal, so what makes you think their bodies are? shit, the very nature of the sport of motocross is FAR more dangerous than any PED's so who gives a fuck. nobody here is in any position to judge. if you could walk a day in their shoes, and have to deal with the pressure you put on yourself let alone the pressure that comes from friends, family, team, sponsors, etc....you'd be doing anything and everything to get an advantage.
im not implicating anyone specifically. and im not here to judge. as it was said earlier, the PED's are only helpful for those who are already training at their bodies max potential. taking PED's only shows you are that much more competitive than the next guy. the most competitive guy should win.
until youve hired a trainer of aldons ability....better yet, until youve actually needed and been able to handle a trainer of aldons ability, you really should keep your judgement and opinions to your ignorant self.
shit....its unreal how much the "fans" here demand of their riders, then get upset when its suggested that these riders do steroids to live up to your expectations or that they "party" to cope with the pressures of your expectations. theyre human. extraordinary humans, but human nonetheless.
