- It’s probably several things. It’s a condition that affects particular sports way more than the average and men way more than women. It is very possible that the way training and riding and optimisation have evolved it is also being provoked in more athletes that are predisposed. As everyone goes further to test their limits, sit more aerodynamically, etc.
- Sorry but what do you expect in today’s hyper competitive structure, this isn’t a problem exclusive to cycling or sport, it pervades every aspect of life nowadays for youngsters who look mire and more to internet content as guide and roadmap and refuse the wisdom of elders warning against all that glitters there.
The problem is we have always been hyper focused on success stories, rarely reflecting on the price others pay because in this overly capitalistic structure only a tiny minority can reach the level defined as success. What few think about is that this price paid is now often being transferred to others because so many no longer learn to deal with failure. One more reason why society continues to fragment.
- By all means, discuss problems but don’t propose silly solutions. Nothing wrong with the idea of charging entrance for certain zones that suffer from overcrowding and create dangers anyway but if you want to redistribute that money your way then explain how you plan to do that, legally, fairly and transparently.
As for the idea of basing all teams in the same place, interesting, probably not realistic though. Perhaps the UCI should function as a temp agency placing riders in teams for a contract duration and collecting salaries in their name to be paid out in the country of residence, that way teams are absolved of differential social charges.
- The science is so much better these days and thus cyclists have a better understanding of what they are dealiing with.
- Presumption of innocence? I'm sorry to break it to you but that's not how doping regulations work. Otherwise, it would lead to absurd outcomes where someone who tests positive must be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law...
- I think that it may be a case of more cyclists being properly diagnosed.
- More and more cyclists getting affected
- Huh? Swelling and the water retention, meaing added weight, is the absolute result due to injury!
