Thibau Nys about doping paranoia: "My girlfriend had to apply cortisone ointment above her lip. I didn't kiss her for a week"

He never pays for the hairdresser and is a super fan of Belgian series from the '90s - FC De Kampioenen. In the podcast Gossip Guy we get to know Thibau Nys in a different way: the man next to the bicycle.

Podcast maker Ender Scholtens admits that he is not an avid follower of cycling. This soon becomes apparent when he asks Nys if he has ever used doping. "What the fuck?", the rider responds in astonishment, although he can laugh about it. "I am baptized, yes."

Nys even admits that he is quite 'paranoiac' about not ingesting banned products. "For example, nasal spray is not allowed. Recently my girlfriend also suffered from a cold sore above her lip and she had to apply cortisone ointment there. I didn't kiss her for a week."

Nys concludes by saying that he does not want to become a gray mouse, because according to him there are quite a few like that in the race. "I think it's important to have a personality, to stand for something. People should also be fans of you because of who you are, I think that is very important."
