Hate to bring drugs up, but it is quite interesting.

UCI really do shoot themselves in the foot at every opportunity, don't they?
And if the opportunity doesn't exist then they create one.
Looking at some of the high scores and low scores on that it is no surprise so few obvious dopers are caught.
You also need to bear in mind that a clean rider is likely to have a more erratic, and therefore suspect, profile than a dodgy one, who will have a lovely flat line/

Quite an interesting story, and an interesting list. Probably of limited value to Joe Public because we don't know exactly what the criteria are - I guess performance consistency, but what else? Is Millar not a zero only because he once transgressed, years ago?
Cancellara is both a hero and a zero.
Could they do a list of dodgy 4th cats so you can avoid them in local road races?

Wiggins at the same level as Contador? Really?
Why not?
Wiggins must be clean - he's British. Along with Saint Dame Kelly Holmes, Saint Paula Radcliffe, Saint Sir Steve Redgrave.
Why not?
Well I've always thought Wiggins was clean. Especially given his public statements etc. Whereas Contador eats too much dodgy beef.
Geraint Thomas was higher than Wiggins too wasn't he...?
Seeing as they've gone to all the trouble of making a list, they may as well use it to apply a handicap system for the TdF ... weight penalty's, like the BTCC use 😀
