What is he doing that looks so unreal? winning?
he has won every single championship and he has been fast since he was on minis.
The weird thing would be seeing a top 5 or 6 going as fast as him every moto and start beating him. That would be questionable.
Did anybody in RC era said that he might be using something? He was unbeatable, won like 10 championships in a row, had 2 perfect seasons.
even when he said that he was going to retire and race only 5 races or something like that. He dominated every race.
So i think that the one that is questioning RV is someone that doesn't like to see him winning or Tony alessi hahah.
He's won every step of the way since he was a scrawny little 16 year old.
Was he doping then?

As much as anything it's probably just a cost driver to bring it in... They've then gotta improve methods of doing it, testing it etc...
I also question it form a pure visual stand point.
Look at the people who have been done for doping in other sports. Armstrong, Johnson. They're so freakin ripped and lean it isn't funny. RV and Dungey are about the only ones who look that fit in MX. The rest look like average dudes!
Steroids? Maybe in the off season... last thing you want on a bike is the sweet ass pump you're going to get with these.
GH? Again, maybe in the off season for recovery.
EPO? Don't know enough about this but, it's moto not mountain stages in the TDF. I could see it helping though.
IV's? I could see that for sure, but maybe the guys actually follow the rules, and don't, what a concept.
IMO, a 20 something year old being trained by someone like Aldon is going to get all the benefits he can use.. naturally.
Anyone who thinks/states PEDs' wouldn't help a professional MX/SX racer is either ignorant of the facts, kidding themselves or straight-up lying. PEDs' would be an advantage to any athlete in any sport that has physical demands placed on the contestants.
Period........................
And he has them all on PEDs? OK.
Got it.
So, uh, you wanna tell us how you KNOW this?
Or, are you just COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT?
Oh, OK.
Got it!
Relevant article I read today talking about testing in the NFL:
A Step Toward HGH Testing
They are called Performance Enhancing Drugs for a reason.
LOL.... if you think Performance Enhancing Drugs don't increase performance there is no point trying to prove it to you.
You are aware that athletes at that level work with trainers and sports medicine people(read scientists) on a daily basis right?
Yea........ Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones took PEDs' just for the hell of it. Not because it actually helped to increase their performance.
I don't have to prove it......... It has already been proven, time and time again.
Not one taker I've seen or heard about.
Like it was stated before.........I remember hearing the very next day about how WADA showed up at RV's house........and then randomly tested him for a year. Nothing. Nothing as far as any kind of ped's could be found.......and yet he was still out there kicking ass.
If WADA can't prove it..........who the fuck can?

Personally I don't think RV is on PEDs'
But to say PEDs' can't/won't help an athlete is ignorant. Racers are athletes, they can/would benefit from there use.
To think differently is showing a blatant ignorance of modern sports science.
I really , really dig what Mitch had to say last night , and I'll try to type it out the way I heard it.......
Mitch Payton :" A guy using PED's won't make him any faster. If he's a few seconds off the pace at the beginning of the moto........he'll just be a few seconds off the pace for a few laps longer. PED's won't help with speed.....it's all rider "
Do I think Peds can potentially make a rider(some riders, not every rider) finish a 30 minute moto 10 seconds faster overall............. without a doubt.
RV is a multimillionaire................... He has whatever resources he wants.... don't kid yourself
IF RV was clean, he could put up ANY money--a 100k, a million, a billion, and it would make no difference. He's put up a number that nobody can take the chance of being wrong about.
IF he is clean, why not offer 100k versus testing money? You put up the testing money and he gives the blood. He fails you get 100k. He doesn't fail and there is no more question on the subject.
The 100k bet actually proves he's more than likely pulling a Lance. Stamp it.
Don't believe it? You be fooled. BoobyM is dubm enuf to think that just having large hariy textikles makes an unbetable champiun. He ain't known four hiz brainz.
It takes years to build up strength and endurance to the level RV is currently at.
This is RV's third year working with Aldon, and that work is starting to shine.
I don't think RV is taking them, he is just an animal!!
I think the biggest thing that probably is going on and I say MAYBE (just guessing) is the amount of young kids coming up now that are on Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta etc. My son is taking it for ADHD and it seems like every other kid in his school is too. Let me tell you that these are prescribed a lot these days and they definitely help one focus and stay on point. I don't think they are in any way a big advantage for MX but if they are illegal or considered a PED by the AMA or MXSports then it could be an issue if they ever test. Just something I thought of.
That's why he admitted it.
I am trying to remember but at the time of Lance racing they did not have a way to test for blood doping which is what he was doing. But they have kept all his blood samples from the years past.
Now they have a way to test for it and when they went back and tested the past samples guess what they found. That's why he caved.
I think they need a history of sample to test from too. So any rider blood doping could take a sample today and pass, but if they pull blood for a period of time it will surface.
Those guys were doing crazy crap like blood transfusions I think. They would give their own blood during the week and swap it out between races. Simply amazing.
One thing the top guys are more than likely doing is getting IV's between the motos. According to JT this helps big time. But only guys with their own motorhomes and somebody (trainer) to give it to them can do it. I believe they can test for that too, but they would have to pull a little blood right before they went to the gate for the 2nd moto to check.
I already said I'd put it up. The only person you have to convince is me. I'll split the take 50-50.
