The Asthma epidemic in cycling is remarkable.

[LETOURTIMESFRANCE]

Hey bobke! Greetings from Maine.Huge fan keep up the Good work

[EcoEarthNut]

On point and honest questions that deserve answers.

[itsianwood]

This is the most intelligent commentary I've heard on the subject so far! :-)

[ChiefBass]

Great questions. I look forward to the answers. I hope they come a lot sooner than later.

[carlvanderweyden]

Spot on Bob! Keep up the good work. Cheers

I've never liked, believed or trusted Brailsford, and have felt for some time that he is running a science lab that would make Bruyneels look amateur! Here we have an entire team out-climbing the pure climbers on the hardest Cols, pacing their fearless leader as though they were on a Sunday club ride! ...And the next day there they are at the pointy end fully recovered and shielding their boss. It all wreaks...and the Salbutamol is possibly an innocent TUE that masks the most complex and powerful new cocktails we've not yet heard of!

[grapple]

Thank you Bob! Love the way you talk about a story/subject keep it up... I dont see this being explained away ... I see a ban and a loss of results coming... too bad too

[smachsimo]

We don’t know if he has other positive tests, the UCI does not disclose positive Sulbutemol tests unless teams fail to justify them.

[superstrada]

Bob, your analysis is spot on; Squeaky clean CF not so perfect. CF is not a doper but does seem to have taken marginal gains over the literal limit and he should pay for it. He could say; "Yes I did" and then hand his Vuelta trophy over to Vincenzo. What a dramatic moment for cycling THAT would be. BobkeTV--> best pro-cycling analysis anywhere!

I just started watching this piece on YouTube... but before the actual broadcast began, they had to run an ad prior to the viewing.  It was for Symbicort, not the same drug that Froome is using... but the same general type.  Thanks, YouTube... great ad placement!

I agree with you Bobke. I wish that this continued controversy would just stop. I hate to be jaded about this beautiful sport. Big money and for some big fame brings out the worst in many people. You have heard a Lance say that he is ashamed of the way he acted. However, given the situation, he would probably do it again. I have to think that the UCI should turn this job of testing to an impartial 3rd party. What a pain. Great hearing from you as usual.

[sarahc]

Hi Bob, looking forward to your 2018 predictions.

[artbot]

Bobke if he has broken the rules, he should be punished, were some of Lemond's comments about this case, I agree.

[sjs]

Love having you back - your comments are always well thought out and fair to all sides

[TakeDeadAim]

My guess is that they're all using long acting and undetectable broncho dialators. Everyone puffs up on the bus prior to the start and it'll last around 8 hours. Basically they'll gain deep lung function which in turn gains surface area for respiratory function increase.

[xxmdogxxify]

The level he tested for was equal to 20 puffs off an inhaler! That will give you a hell of a boost

[dug]

Exactly Bob, why was it never mentioned in the past, it stinks of lies and deceit, what was it masking?

[jenniferpadgett]

The Sky zero tolerance policy (publicly sacking staff and older riders with a doggy history) gave/gives their efforts a veneer of moral superiority and unquestionably, not dissimilar to Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong-cancer messiah tropes. Marginal gains, over the top team budgets, too much dominance, I fear the past is prologue.

[samlelacheur]

Great points Bobke, but I don't think Froome was helped much if at all by the extra salbutamol but it still looks bad.

Any Idea when the 2018 Predictions are going to happen? always my favorite video of the year!
