Doping in Cycling

Close your eyes really tightly

Ross · 15 Jul 2015 ·

I gave an interview to Off the Ball radio today. Here’s that interview, plus some extra thoughts on context.

Day 1 in the mountains: One more pixel, context & mistrust

Ross · 14 Jul 2015 ·

Chris Froome produced a dominant display to win the first mountain finish of the 2015 Tour de France. As always, doubts exist around the performance. One single performance does not a doper identify, but pixel-by-pixel, it’s becoming harder to sit on the fence. I jump off it here.

Ross · 07 Jun 2015 ·
