Pro Cycling WorldTour : D-10 - COUNTDOWN TO GRAND DEPART IN CORSICA FOR THE 100th TOUR Can ex-doper Matt White lead a clean pro... D-10 - COUNTDOWN TO GRAND DEPART IN CORSICA FOR THE 100th TOUR Can ex-doper Matt White lead a clean pro-cycling team? Confessed doper Matt White (second from right) has been reinstated as sports director of cycling at Orica-GreenEdge. But is this a conflict of interest?   The official reinstatement of confessed doper Matt White as sports director of Australian World Tour pro-cycling team Orica-GreenEdge passed with surprisingly little media or public scrutiny last week. But while many fans may feel justified in switching off the drugs in sport saga, this latest development in Australian cycling deserves much closer focus than it is presently attracting. White’s return to Orica-GreenEdge comes eight months after his October 2012 admission to doping as a professional cyclist with Lance Armstrong’s US Postal Service team. He has since revealed that he doped for most of his professional career. White’s reinstatement was largely facilitated by the review of Orica-GreenEdge anti-doping policy and practices by expert Nicki Vance. Her May 2013 report recommended the White reappointment after his backdated Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) ban of six months was complete. Stuart O'Grady welcomes Matt White back into the team. The conspicuous lack of public reaction to this news may be a sign that many have reached saturation with the drugs in sport issue. It has certainly been a busy year in elite sport as far as the misuse of drugs and other substances goes. This issue has touched cycling, the AFL and NRL, swimming, and also cricket if you include alcohol in the mix. It is a complex and wide reaching issue with no quick and easy fix. Conflicts of interest The Matt White case raises a series of very important questions that matter for the Orica-GreenEdge team, Australian cycling, and sports anti-doping policy generally. The first set of questions arises around the conflicts of interest and other pressures likely to emerge when past “dopers” are appointed to leadership roles in elite sport. A significant query here is how White’s reinstatement could possibly be reconciled with the Orica-GreenEdge zero-tolerance doping stance, and much-publicised “clean team” image. White’s past doping behaviour creates the very real potential for major dilemmas in his sports director role in relation to his views and decisions about team culture, and his perceived capacity to be objective in the face of any future breaches and indeed even minor transgressions by people he is responsible for. Add to this the interests of the Orica-GreenEdge Executive and other stakeholders and their expectations about White’s future words and deeds. Again, his past behaviour is sure to have significantly raised the weight of these expectations already. White’s history means we must ask and receive an answer to the question of what he will do in the anti-doping space now. What do other cyclists think? A second set of questions arises in relation to the public credibility of appointments like that of Matt White’s, and by association the anti-doping policies that facilitate such decisions. What is the view of cycling fans and the general public? We have to also wonder what the current cohort of Orica-GreenEdge riders and personnel thinks about the Matt White case. To inform her review, Nicki Vance spoke with some 59 riders and staff at Orica-GreenEdge in wide-ranging interviews. Did she seek their views about the possibility of a White reinstatement? If not, why not? Given most professional cyclists these days publicly support anti-doping policy and measures, at least some of the new guard of young riders must be unhappy with the White reinstatement. If not, what does this suggest about the post-Armstrong culture of professional cycling, or the efficacy of current cycling governance and anti-doping education measures? And what about the Australian professionals in other cycling teams, or the younger up-and-coming future stars? How has the White decision impacted the image of Orica-GreenEdge? Is it still a desirable team for aspirational young riders? How would parents react to the news of their teenager being selected to this team now? Stimulating discussion by asking more questions Such questions seem particularly relevant given the Vance report highlights the importance of ethics and values discussion to encourage the maintenance of a non-doping approach. But we have to wonder what this discussion would look like, and how it would even be possible in the absence of any public debate on the issues and questions identified above. Let me be clear that none of this is intended to question Matt White’s character or intentions. He appears to be well liked in the professional cycling world, and is obviously a highly regarded sports director in Australia and abroad. He gets results. White deserves some credit for the admissions he has made, and he has arguably already received that. We should also remember that even though he stood to gain from his confessions, White spoke up in an environment where other past and present cyclists with alleged cases to answer have said nothing. This demonstrates yet again that increasingly hard-line anti-doping policies do little to reveal the full truth of doping in sport, and they lack the sophistication and reach required of effective policies and programs here. To its credit the Orica-GreenEdge Australian pro-cycling team has publicly promised to implement all of the Vance review recommendations which cover past breaches, recruitment, adherence to current protocols, education, and the team’s external anti-doping promotion activity. One hopes that Matt White himself comes to play an active role in the Orica-GreenEdge response to the Vance recommendations. He has returned to his sports director role on a 12-month probation. This will be an important period for White, and he could prove to be an effective public voice against doping in Australian cycling and beyond if he chooses to do so and the audience is receptive. Unfortunately, after an eventful past two or so years with the drugs in sport issue in Australia, there are growing signs that the public shock and indignation about the cases before us is giving way to frustration and disinterest. The Matt White case is important because it helps to highlight the contradictions and weaknesses of current anti-doping policy in Australia. It also gives us a useful new set of questions that should be asked about the real consequences of such policies for individuals and other stakeholders. Let’s hope there are enough people still listening for the answers.

Vayer casts doubt over performances of Indurain and Jalabert Says Armstrong was some way behind in doping race http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/vayer-casts-doubt-over-performances-of-indurain-and-jalabert Former Festina coach Antoine Vayer has cast doubt on performances produced by Miguel Indurain and Laurent Jalabert in Grand Tours during the 1990s, describing them as only being achievable by “mutants”. Working in collaboration with French daily Le Monde, Vayer has been calculating the power output of the sport’s top stage racers on major climbs since 1999 and has regularly suggested that many of them were beyond belief. Asked about the World Anti-Doping Agency’s description of disgraced Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong as benefiting from “the most effective doping program in history,” Vayer responded, “With his record average of 438 watts on the 2001 Tour, ‘The Boss’ only manages sixth place in our palmarès. He looks almost like a bit-part player next to ‘king’ Miguel Indurain, who has five Tours to his credit. The Spaniard seems unlikely to be dethroned thanks to his average of 455 watts in the 1995 edition… The fact that Armstrong’s reign began after the Festina affair in 1998 and the introduction of the EPO test forced him to pay more ‘attention’. He couldn’t take EPO in an unlimited way like his predecessors”. Speaking to Le Monde two days before the publication of his new book, "La Preuve par 21", which investigates the power output of Tour de France winners since 1983, Vayer also put together a list of the Tour winners who had produced the greatest power output over the course of the last 30 years, ranking Indurain (1995 version) at the top with 455 watts, ahead of Bjarne Riis (449) and Marco Pantani (446). According to Vayer’s rating scale, any figure over 450 falls into the “mutant” category, while those between 430 and 450 are described as “miraculous”. Three more Tour winners appear among the “miraculous” – Jan Ullrich (441), Alberto Contador in 2009 (439) and Lance Armstrong in 2001 (438). Asked if any Tour winner since 1983 is beyond suspicion, Vayer said Greg LeMond “seems to have always produced ‘human’ performances”. He gave LeMond’s average power output during his three Tour-winning years as 381 watts in 1986, 408 in 1989, and 407 in 1990. He added that “following the arrival of EPO at the start of the 1990s, any rider who could produce 400 watts for 20 minutes could subsequently manage to put out 440 watts over 40 minutes! That was the case with the Dane Bjarne Riis… who, in 1993 was stuck at 399 watts, but progressed to 449 watts during his winning Tour in 1996 when he was 32. LeMond remained at 410 watts after 1990 and was dropped by older riders who had become thoroughbreds. With regard to Laurent Jalabert, a sprinter in his early years as a pro and twice crowned King of the Mountains at the Tour towards the end of his career, Vayer said, “During the Vueltas of 1996 and 1997, the former [Tour de France] green jersey climbed to Lagos de Covadonga, 8.5km at 9.18%, in less than 25 minutes, producing 468 and 478 watts, respectively. On the Tour, we even had to re-baptise the ascent of the Col de Mende the ‘Montée Jalabert’, after his 495 watts in 1995!” Vayer describes the last 30 years as being split into three different eras. “Before 1990, we were in the pre-EPO era: riders were flirting with the figure of 410 watts thanks to corticoids and steroids. Then there was a leap to 450 watts with the arrival of massive usage of EPO up to 1998. After the introduction of the EPO test, blood transfusions made a big return: that was in the Armstrong era, where levels stabilised at 430 watts. Since 2011, we can talk about a new ‘mixed’ era where performances have taken a step down but there are some suspect power outputs above 410 watts.” The former Festina coach describes Cadel Evans’ 2011 Tour-winning average of 406 watts as being in the “green” zone below 410 watts. #UCI   #procycling   #Indurain   #Armstrong   1 day ago - Via Reshared Post - View - Keith Grossman : How to survive, and thrive, in conflict How to survive, and thrive, in conflict Livestrong CEO Doug Ulman's Silver Lining Playbook For His Brand Lied to by Lance Armstrong.

Vélo Files: Game of Numbers Anthony Tan  http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/anthony-tan/blog/127955/v-lo-files-game-of-numbers Get used to it – cycling is in the Era of the Power Meter. The sport is now, more than ever, a numbers game. And, according to one performance expert, numbers don’t lie, writes Anthony Tan. "THE MOUNTAIN TELLS THE TRUTH AND TELLS YOU WHO IS DOPED... THIS POWER, GENERATED IN WATTS, IS THE MOST RELIABLE INDICATOR OF PRESUMED DOPING. - ANTOINE VAYER, CYCLING PERFORMANCE EXPERT AND AUTHOR OF ‘NOT NORMAL’."   The way things work nowadays, I’m spending less and less time out in the field covering sporting events and an increasing amount doing what many of you do in your spare time, which is watch said events live and couch-side, with preferred communication device at arm’s length. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. Living out of a suitcase for more than two hundred days a year wears thin after a certain while, though it took me five masochistic years to realise it. It’s far from glamorous; sometimes lonely (unless you like that kind of thing), other times stressful because you are more or less on your own; and with athletes mollycoddled and media-managed beyond recognition, that promised one-hour interview has now being reduced to ten minutes max – that’s if you’re lucky enough to get a one-on-one interview – and with few exceptions, is comprised of stock-standard responses in plethora, generally because there’s only enough time to ask stock-standard questions. Besides the basics, I don’t really feel I know many of the athletes these days. Or rather, I know them as athletes but not as people, which is generally what piques my interest most. For mine, results are secondary; I want to know what makes them tick – and what gets them ticked off. Sometimes, though, there’s nothing like being there, and so, in little over a week’s time, I’ll be heading over for TdF #100, which I’m very much looking forward to. Anyway, back to watching on the box. I now see more of the race, which is a good thing, since much of a journalist’s work is based on observation. And the past six months, one thing that’s become glaringly apparent to me is the propensity of riders to glance down, be it in training or racing, like an inquisitive peck from a budgie’s beak, before the noggin tilts back towards the wheel or road in front of them. No, they’re not checking out how fast they’re belting down the mountainside, or monitoring their cadence or calories consumed, or whether mechanic Faustino did a good job with the bar tape. Nor are they fatigued or struggling to hang on, ‘chewing the bars’, as it’s called. They’re looking at their power output. You see, the modern era of cycling, and most particularly stage racing, has been reduced to a numbers game. Watts are all GC riders care about; be it putting out the right numbers in training, or maintaining a certain threshold in racing, it all comes down to joules per second, it seems. Especially when you’ve got a rider like Bradley Wiggins or Tejay van Garderen, who appear to race more on numbers than feel. Which you can’t argue with, since they’ve won numerous bike races that way, and lack the natural explosivity of Alberto Contador, Chris Froome or Cadel Evans when they’re on song. (Okay, the latter trio also use power meters, but you can tell they’d prefer to race ‘old-school’ any day.) When, in late April last year, on the final stage of the Tour de Romandie, a journalist asked Wiggins, who had just won the race, whether he thought Sky Procycling raced like US Postal, Mr Tetchy replied: “Yes, it’s very similar to US Postal, and Banesto used to do the same thing. You race to your strengths as efficiently as possible. It works. We’re not going to change it.” And, true to word, they didn’t. Which saw Sir Wiggo victorious in Paris-Nice, Romandie, Critérium du Dauphiné and, of course, La Grande Boucle – all in one season, not to mention a gold medal in the London Olympic Games road time trial. Why would you change things? Okay, the journalist at Romandie was possibly hinting at something untoward. As Antoine Vayer, the French cycling performance expert and author of ‘Not Normal’ told us this week in the Cycling Central podcast, “this power (on climbs), generated in watts, is the most reliable indicator of presumed doping”. “The mountain tells the truth and tells you who is doped. On cols (mountain passes), with little wind, no drafting, and established grades: those are the ideal conditions to calculate the muscle power of each rider according to his build and to install ‘radars’ which we use to measure their power,” said Vayer, whose 148-page publication analysed the power outputs from the last thirty-one Tour winners, labelling them one of four things: ‘normal’ or ‘human’ (“but not necessarily clean,” he hastened to add), ‘suspicious’ (410 watts or more), ‘miraculous’ (430> watts), and – my favourite moniker – ‘mutant’ (450> watts). Take the climb of Alpe d’Huez as an example. In the 1989 Tour de France, Greg ‘Normal’ LeMond clocked a time of 42’30” up the 13.8 kilometre switch-backed ascent, equal to an average power output of 394 watts. In the ‘95 Tour, Marco ‘Mutant’ Pantani, to quote TV commentator Phil Liggett, “flew like an angel” (well, at least a bloodied one) up the Alpe in 36’50”, producing an average 468 watts, while Richard ‘Suss’ Virenque did it in 40’30”, averaging 417 watts. And at the 2001 Tour Lance Armstrong glided his way up the 21 bends in 38’38, equivalent to a 450-watt average for Mr Miraculous. In case you were wondering, the report “takes into account the onset of new technology and training advances and allows for differing body weights of riders”. And, in case you were wondering, Vayer calculated Contador’s 2009 Tour-winning climbing average to be 439 watts (‘miraculous’), while on his since-rescinded 2010 Tour, ‘El Pistolero’ produced an average 417 watts (‘suspicious’). Meanwhile, Evans’s 2011 Tour saw him average 406 watts (‘normal’) on the cols of Luz Ardiden, Plateau de Beille, Col du Galibier and Alpe d’Huez, while Wiggins 415 watt average output on La Toussuire and the east and west faces of the Col de Peyresourde placed the Brit in the ‘suspicious’ category. From the noughties through to the present, you could say power output has been a key indicator all along, then. Just that nowadays, it’s (hopefully) being used more as a training tool to race smart, rather than a barometer of a team’s doping program. Tim Kerrison, the former Queensland Academy of Sport swim coach turned Team Sky’s ‘head of performance support’ and the man credited for revolutionising the latter outfit’s thinking on all aspects to do with training (Wiggins has referred to him as “the guru”), told William Fotheringham of The Guardian in April that a possible reason behind their success is due to the “knowledge gap” left by teams who focused on doping at the expense of coaching and rider development. “In the previous era of cycling, I guess the teams did a cost-benefit analysis and the best way to invest their limited amount of resource for some teams was to invest in doctors and doping programmes, and coaching suffered. That’s left a window of opportunity for us. Quite uniquely, in this sport, the development of coaching systems has been retarded by the effects of the last decade,” said Kerrison. For cycling’s sake, I hope to God he’s telling the truth. For now, I can (just) handle the Era of the Power Meter and the often humdrum racing that goes along with it; what I couldn’t handle is if this era turned out to be as dirty or filthier than the last, albeit at a more sophisticated level. #TDF   #TDF2013   2 days ago - Via Google+ - View - Alistair McHarg : Check Out My Books http://alistairmcharg.com/Books_HMNX.html WISE WORDS TO LIVE BY: BUT WHO REALLY SAID...
