'Those Guys' do 20 2 day GP's 6 of which are flyaways, plus at least 1 , maybe 2 , and possibly 3 national championships plus the preseason races. Some of them do the Euro SX races too.
What none of them do , is flog themselves within an inch of their life every day because ' thats what Aldons guys do' , chasing a level of fitness that leaves them teetering on the edge of disaster.

In his column, that’s one thing. In the forum? That’s something else. For example, is AyearinMX speaking for any of the companies he’s working for when he posts here?
If you don’t think any GP riders use PED’s, I also have some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you. Also Santa Claus, Easter bunny and Tooth Fairy are all imaginary. Hopefully this dose of reality doesn’t crush your spirit, have a good day.
Darian, TC and Bogle...2 in the US and one in GP's
Let’s be realistic also, it’s not like we have had 10+ guys busted in one series and not the other. There’s basically been 2 riders serve penalties for testing positive for banned substances. 2 others who would’ve been fine but for paperwork issues. It’s not a massive sample size to say that there’s something wrong one way or the other
How often do you see guys get tested there?
But will I think differently of them based on their comments if they are outrageous? Will it eventually lead my brain back to he works for/I’ve seen his name at X? Yes and yes.
Has Bulmer said some highly questionable shit over the years? I’m sure. And yes to some extent it reflects back to whatever company he is working for at the time.
*For the record I really don’t care about what Cooksey said and don’t think it’s that bad.

PED’s provide a health boost that prevents and treats EBV.
I cannot imagine that GP riders are immune. I can't even imagine that that they have a medical regimen that prevents or cures EBV (that's too big to keep secret).
If, and I emphasize IF, WADA were playing favorites, and it was proven...that would be the end for them. Not just for moto but everything they are affiliated with.
Maybe Aldon knows what he’s doing? Who would have thought.
I’m surprised Uptite hasn’t chimed in yet to tell us how Aldon doesn’t make his athletes better.
Also, when people talk about dehydration in Moto, we are not talking about what the medical community considers dehydration. The rider races 35 minutes, it's hot AF but afterwards he is immediately re-hydrating. Riders might get heat exhaustion, even heat stroke, but are they clinically dehydrated? Unlikely. Moderate dehydration is a 10% loss of body mass. So for say Chase Sexton at WW Ranch, he had to lose 15-16 lbs in that moto. I guess we don't know for sure, but I'm doubting it. It's not like he was in Iraq in combat for 8 hours....
