hahahahAHAHAHAHAHA

the fact that his resting heart rate is 32-34, his top heart rate in the last tour was 180 something, and his average was around 150 i believe, his VO2max 83.8, and his lactic levels is the lowest of any rider at 6 ?L/Kg, more then half of most riders (average is 12-20)

oh and he is one of the most tested athletes of ALL time....

and i find it hard to believe that none of them tested positive and its all off ....." authorities sent race organizers more than 40 pages summarizing police investigations into a ring that allegedly supplied riders and other athletes with banned drugs, doping expertise and performance-enhancing blood transfusions."

crazy stuff
