One of your best guys! Boogerd and the legendary Rabobank squad provided some of the greatest racing moments of that era. Erik Dekker was my favourite. Chicken was the beginning of the end in my mind though, as far as wondering about the preparation and assistance he had to produce those rides. But, it was always Boogerd who came to mind when I thought of Rabobank. He was the face and teeth of the orange and blue squad!

Say what you will, but he doped when everyone did. He has lived a full life, (sports, drugs, lots of beautiful women, kids from different mothers) and is doing great at age 50. A couple of weeks ago, he became father again when his youngest daughter was born. He rides all the Spring Classics (tour version), and together with his beautiful Ukrainian girlfriend he works hard to help Ukrainian War refugees in the Netherlands. What's not to like? On a side note: Boogerd has stated that even today riders dope. They are just more ahead of the UCI then they were in his era.

@@deepathe also said "never seen it, never heard of it and never been on a team that did it" which is a big difference to his other statement you quoted. I've heard him make little comments about doping and it's always caught my attention but not known of anything SOLID. Closest thing to anything solid was his Vuelta win at age 41 and his hemoglobin count. Once it dropped to 13.4 it should NOT have gone back above 14 but it did go up to 14.6 or 14.9 I think. It matches all the patterns of doping and cheating test protocols but there's no solid PROOF or EVIDENCE like in almost all cases. It's DEFINITELY suspect tho.

Even though I already knew most of the stories about the Rabo squad, it’s how you link it all up and connect it to other stories that makes it feel like I’m putting glasses on and see it clearly for the first time.

And then these curious ‘hobbies’ like ice skating and boxing, the footage of this - it seems to fit neatly with the interest in eastern European prostitutes and various substance abuse.

[@abubarakah2981]

Fun fact: When Riis won on Hautacam in 96 he climbed the mountain more than 2 minutes faster than Vingegaard. Even though the whole stage back then was more than 50 km longer, he rode alone for a longer period and more aggressively attacking plenty of times before that and also of course riding with old technology heavier bikes. You can see the same interesting statistics for Alpe d'huez that they somehow climbed faster back then in the 90s and 00s.. so I guess that if they are still doping it is not as potent as it was before? Or maybe cycling has changed? Anyway regarding Vingegaard, just to mention, danish doctors back in 2018 already concluded that he has a very unique heartfunction pumping much stronger even compared to other professional athletes.

[@cyclingstories]

Hautacam 96 was full flat until the same Hautacam. Hautacam 2022 was with other climbs before. Also, Vingegaard didn't attack from above as Riis did

[@fromcarlawithlove]

What I hate about all of this most is that its not only a cyclist problem , any athlete , will always search for better, faster , whether its in formula 1 or any sport. They always have been searching to do better , with getting and searching for better gear, clothing, and yes a better body . Humans act that way , but do not think its only sports , corperate is similar, more more "better", some have coke on the fly so you can work harder faster etc. It is a social problem not only of athletes ! Before Armstrong it was done in secret mostly on their own, searching for a doc that has the solution, and some had , you mentioned a while ago who you think was the first epo user. I think you are wrong at that. Epo was used before more knew about it , it could not be found since no one knew where to look for, only those docs or labrats knew . But yes I detest Armstrong for how he is/was as a human towards others , the narc as a leader . What I destest of the one here Boogerd, and also Neulissen is that both became reporters and acted holier then thou acts that bashed other riders who did the same as they did in public. The arrogance and hypocrisy was stincking hard. When you have to lie for years and years its hard to start talking real truth, their own reason for taking it, and not refushing . Some do it for fame , to push their ego , some do it because of a low self asteem , some because they think they are forced to , some for money etc. etc. And whether its corporate , politics , or sports , f. ing others over is always the lowest . And what most athletes forget there is also a life after your young body becomes to old to do what you always did. What always also scared me is that those athletes have wives and make babies , did any of their trusted Ferraries ever reseached the effects of those drugs on babies ? I grew up in cycling and always loved the sport to watch it I mean . But I found it is just a group of humans with great cycling abilities , and also a representation of all of us, humanity in every way of dealing with life . In corporations they also silence you when bad shit happens , and treaten to , to fire you , if you get my drift. And dont get me started about politics . 🤭😵‍💫🙈🙉🙊

[@Joopsmann]

Serious question: Are any pro cyclists racing clean? I am a lifelong fan of cycling - since the late 70s - and not a smart ass who doesn't know anything about the sport. I have accepted that basically they all dope and that's just the nature of the beast and just curious if you think ANYONE is clean and if so, what leads you to believe that?

[@akl192]

In my book Hampsten, Mottet, Casar, Moncoutie, Boardman, Bauer are very close to that clean category. Lemond and Breukink are mysteries as they’re either cleanish or doped hard when needed, then late in their career did not benefit much from it

[@Scrap-press]

I think this also depends on your definition of doping. Does the usage of an asthma inhaler also count, food supplies like ketone? Because then it's basically impossible to find a clean rider. What's also interesting to look at are the sporting directors of each team. There are still a couple of them left from the heydays of doping and former rider who'd taken those peds.

[@irl-cyclist01]

I think the WT French teams are less doped. Compared to EPO yellow bees and sport washing teams. 1 which had a very bad tour after a raid before it started.

[@kenkaniff8428]

@@Scrap-press TUE's are technically NOT doping as it is allowed but it's such a fine line. Many of them don't need a TUE but get one in order to take a banned substance so yes in that perspective they ARE doping but according to the USADA rukrs,and regulations they are NOT. It's VERY sticky topic!

Did i hear correctly?!? 4) you are telling that boogerd's good part of career ended there, while he was aajor contender inany belgian classics for other 5years, in particular id like to remind his High finishes in amstelalmost every year 5)he was a complete cyclist, but he was no good for Grand tours, for alpine stages, and also he was not that fast at sprinting, often outsprinted by riders like museeuw bartoli di Luca etc, he was even outsprinted by rebellin Who Is not fast at all, but ive to Say that that finish was a steep one

[@kasperjepsen2917]

In simple terms, it was because he was skinny. According to Michael Rasmussens autobiography however, the nickname came to be partly because of a famous danish children show called “bamse & kylling” (basically “bear and chicken”, or “teddy bear and chicken”), and partly because of a danish singer called Flemming Bamse Jørgensen. He rode with the national team as far as i recall, and had a teammate called Flemming. They called him bamse. At some point one of the other riders said “then we just need a chicken”, and Michael Rasmussen came in right after he had said that without his shirt on, looking like a skinny, plucked chicken. That’s according to The Chickens autobiography at least, though it sounds a little weird perhaps.
