Une belle omerta encore.

Two days later, Froome is standing on the start line on the stage to Alpe d'Heuz with "no other game plan other than "just hang on'." He is coughing and wheezing. He is one hundred per cent sick. The stage is raced at a frantic pace but Froome does enough and the focus of the reports next day is his courage in adversity. "His legs weren't good enough but his spirit sustained him," Walsh wrote.
Hold on a minute.
Froome finished fifth in the stage - a career achievement for a lot of riders. He stuck four minutes into Dan Martin and finished almost two minutes clear of some other elite climbers - Contador, Vincenzo Nibali, Romain Bardet and Robert Gesink. A couple of days later - still coughing and wheezing presumably, and sucking on his inhaler - he was racing in Holland for a handsome appearance fee. Some might say his spirit sustained him.
I call it taking the piss.

"Is that not using the inhaler to boost your performance?" I asked him once.
"I eat breakfast before a long race," he replied. "Is that not boosting my performance? If I don't eat I won't have any energy; if I don't have my inhaler before a really big effort I'm probably not going to be able to breathe very well. I know I'm not going to breathe very well."

"But is that (health) not the essence of competition?" I suggested.
"Inhalers are not performance-enhancing," he said. "If any normal person who doesn't have asthma takes an inhaler, they're not going to ride any faster. Their lungs are not going to open any larger than they were before. But someone who does have asthma, the airways are going to close up and that inhaler just helps them to close less. It just helps me to be more normal and I definitely don't see that as an unfair advantage."

Nopik a écrit : 17 déc. 2017, 19:01 Bon cet extrait d'article qui circule c'est "selon le communiqué de presse de sky de la semaine dernière" ça sent un peu l'interprétation tirée par les cheveux (pour ne pas tousser durant l'interview). Je ne sais pas s'il y a vraiment du neuf à se mettre sous la dent.
Mais bon peu importe, tant qu'on se marre

Plus ça va et plus je suis persuadé que cette épidémie d'asthmatiques c'est pour dissimuler un autre usage du salbutamol.
