Tour de France Director Doubts Pogacar's Cleanliness

Tadej Pogacar will win Il Lombardia 2024 with complete certainty being the first cyclist in history to win it 4 times in a row, but that doesn't sit well with certain people. One of them is Christian Prudhomme, the director of the Tour de France, who literally did not want to deny that the Slovenian is doping in a recent interview. The reasons, in this video.

BE SURE: Pogi is as clean and natural as all his competitors - not less and not more !!

[robertmuckle]

Anyone believing Pogi is 'full natty' were surely born yesterday!😂
I for one...am almost 70, and am not going to EVER AGAIN fall for any of it!

I am always so in awe with the level of detail/research provided on this channel.
I guess if a pro rider has a mail man who is married to a columbian woman whose uncle was a pro cyclist in 1987 who had a sketchy doctor (presumably a dane), Uncle Cycling will find out and tell the world! 😉

The Pogster is as clean and natural as the competitors in the IFBB Mr Olympia

[FrancoSuozzo]

UAE team is covered, isn’t it so obvious? Come on

[ASGundogs]

You're over-thinking this. We believe in Pog so we can assure ourselves that our £14k bikes are in fact making us 250w more aerodynamic. Don't take that away from us goddammit.

Keep going lads — I doubt you’ll ever achieve a complete cleansing of the pro peleton, but if you can cast doubt on the major Sauce Heads, and perhaps even be instrumental in seeing a couple or three permanently off their bikes, then you will have achieved a great success. It isn’t only barometric chambers and ketone therapy that’s lighting Pog’s fire; I think it’s the dreaded POT SLOVENE — a little bottle that says ‘Drink me!’ in Old Slovenian and transports the drinker into a supercharged cycling wonderland. Anyway, well done, your commentary is getting closer and closer to the bone. And if you come across the recipe for the POT SLOVENE, do let us all know!

I don’t know why they don’t just use statistics to better target testing. We should have the data to make reasonable predictions of the odds against chance of doping or not.

Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me

[rrluthi]

The UCI doesn't care about doping, obviously – as long as Giannetti gets a pass

[anonymous-rjok]

They want their heroes! Even if they are closeted junkies.

[nk]

So many people defending the Pog.. what idiots! It’s freaking so obvious he’s doped to the eyeballs. 😂😂

[thanosduckplease]

In around 10 years give or take all will be revealed. Some teamate will come forward or a staff. Or he will be exposed

[DavidStacey-txon]

Best one yet Uncle. We knew UAE and their past team in SDuvail but the entire history since 2008 is quite scary that they are allowed even near a race, same goes with Vino

[branislavtrninic]

Money, money, money, it's so funny, in a cycling world

[Beijingbenj]

New vitamins on the market yet undetected.

[urbanjungle]

Are you seriously suggesting that there’s more to his success than shorter cranks? 😂

[leedsunited]

Prudhomme can’t absolutely deny cheating, like Verbruggen did. Then look like a mug when the truth comes out.

[englishteacherdon]

The problem is that Gianetti is making the other teams look unprofessional, especially the French. Why would anyone sponsor a team that is destined to look like the Washington Generals (Harlem Globetrotters opponent)? I think major sponsors are going to start pulling out in the next 10 years.

[TymanBert]

I’m glad someone else is thinking this too! Soon well find out the truth!
