Rupps Bodyfat % is ten times lower than the kenyans. Definitely on Froome's TDF wonderdrugs

Oh that's right, because he changed groups after college.

He had a solid four year stint with the University of Oregon. Presumably, per NCAA rules, he was not a professional runner during this time period. I know Alberto was still in touch with him but it's obviously different being a college runner and professional runner.

You weren't paying attention very well during those years.

He's on the same drugs as Froome. There is no question.

it's called an extra 4-6 hours per week on an underwater treadmill.

same bodyfat % ? LOL

I thought this thread was a joke until looking at those pictures. Something they're doing ain't right.

He runs 140 MPW.

I would be concerned if he didn't have a ridiculously low body fat percentage.

5/10 by the way.

He's on the treadmill. What are you on?

You're trolling probably but there is no obvious difference. You don't see the vascularity in the old picture because of the lighting of the photo not because of the non-existence of it.

The Kenyans likely have the same though you don't see it because of the skin color.

(btw, I have had the same vascularity as Rupp since childhood off no training or diet)

same bodyfat % ? LOL

Do we have any real measurements from Rupp or "the Kenyans"? At around 20% these days, it's feasible I guess, but I'd be surprised if Rupp had 10x lower body fat than me.

This. get off Rupp.

doper. it is as simple as that

Just an insane power to weight ratio, much like we have seen in the peloton the last couple years. The human body desperately wants to hold on to some fat for various evolutionary purposes, and this is even more true for Northern Europeans than for Africans. This is the new phase of PEDs. Here's a very good primer for anyone interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MRvw1vSivM

Who is that chubby little baby in the last link. Time to switch him to low fat milk!

ets-of-the-week-mo-farah-and-galen-rupp.html

first of all 0% is impossible while being alive. Im saying its a combination of increased muscle. he didnt JUST lose fat to go from that college pic to now, idiot. he gained muscle TOO

Lol soooo many jealous people here....

How about you stop trying to blame your failings behind someone else's hard work.

Not exactly too skinny, he has lost fat, little bit of muscle and shaved legs, nothing special

As for froome... You try doing his mileage

Oh, so the other hundreds of pro riders only ride 50% the mileage as Froome puts in? NICE. The secret has been revealed.

If you've heard about the stuff he takes before races for his asthma or pollen or whatever stupid reason you'd also be suspicious about his performances!

Are you kidding? No need to try an expensive experimental drug like AICAR. Google Telmisartan and doping. Guess what? It's "legal."

Telmisartan:

Telmisartan is a prescription drug for high blood pressure. It’s accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and not on the WADA list, nor is the class of drugs to which it belongs. Only specifically named substances and substances that are not approved by government regulatory bodies are on that list.

Telmisartan is neither and, according to recent research by Fabian Sanchis Gomar of the University of Valencia, Spain, it has virtually the same specifics as AICAR and GW1516. It also enhances running ability in mice if they are completely untrained. With training, endurance increases, fat is burnt and recovery is faster as there is less lactic acid formation.

Both WADA and the Dutch anti-doping authority know of Telmisartan but they say they are not convinced of the effects reported by the study by Sanchis-Gomar. “Recent scientific research does not seem to validate that claim,” WADA spokesmen O’Rorke insisted.

Herman Ram added that there is a thin line between what is admissible and what not. “In the end everything has an effect on something. So far there hasn’t been a reason to take a closer look on Telmisartan in this respect.”

Meanwhile, the substance has been found near cycling. During the same Tour de France raid in 2009 the AFLD-researchers found packages of Telmisartan. This was before research claimed similar characteristics as AICAR, and AFLD therefore couldn’t really explain its presence in a cycling-related environment.

Every chemist has access to Telmisartan and because it’s not experimental anymore, it is therefore widely available. If AICAR is on WADA’s forbidden list and Telmisartan - which might have the same effects - isn’t, the latter might be a way to escape detection.

More research is needed in relation to these substances, particularly as those seeking to gain unfair advantage will always try to cut corners and gain advantage over WADA and the rest of the peloton.
