Stephen Roche was one of my cycling heroes when I first started bike racing in the US.
Please all look back at the interview between him and David Welsh from 2002.
Let’s examine Indurain , Hinault, Lemond , Usain Bolt too while we’re at. Professional Rugby also while we’re at it.
Great champion , smooth and stylish rider 👏
Between January and July of 1993, Irish cyclist Stephen Roche was regularly administered doses of the performance-enhancing drug erythropoietin (better known as EPO) by the doctor of his Italian cycling team, Carrera, according to an Italian judge.
Exactly, the guy is a disgrace.
Well said. The guy is a cheat
He’s in the conconi files, conconi being the father of doping and Ferrari his student who we all know was the doctor of choice for tour dopers
Similar to Indurian , Hinault, Lemon ect ect.
Roche 🇮🇪💚
Stephen Roche found himself in the same situation as Greg lemon did back in 1985 with Bernard hinault,supporting and riding for the leader, when you are a obviously a better rider
In '85, Hinault was clearly the best rider up until the crash at St. Etienne. If he could get thru the Pyrenees well protected by his team, then it was justified he be given the support he received. That and it would be a very brave DS to give Lemond the green light at Luz Ardiden (if GL had've ridden, he would've left himself open to be counter-attacked by Roche) and deny him a 5th Tour win. It wasn't the case Lemond was better, just that he obeyed team orders. Roche knew his chances to win 3 week Tours were going to be few and far between (after '87 he was never even close), so behaving ethically was not an option.
Some of the comments about this man are absolutely appalling. It puzzles me why Indurain , Hinault and Lemon who were clearly doing what past pelotons were doing haven’t been questioned or examined at all. A certain selection of cyclist have been crucified years after they retired, while others are held up as being heroes while there are vasts amounts of data and evidence to suggest they were doping too.
Usain Bolt was never questioned although the Jamaican anti-doping Committee is questionable to put it mildly. Also international rugby needs to be examined in the worst possible way.
Let's see: in the Giro he attacks his teammate, the designated leader; in the Tour, Stage 19, he attacks Yellow Jersey Jean Francois Bernard in a feed zone, and in the World's he attacks Sean Kelly in the finale. I think we see a pattern.
He was a much better rider what shouldn’t he attack. Good point who have made there 👍
Kelly didn't have the legs the get accross to the group roach was trying to slow for Kelly . He looked back saw Kelly was knackered and went for it !! What's the problem there!!
Why is the interviewer dressed like he has just completed a stage in the Giro or Tour before the interview?
Very interesting interview. Although it's a bit of mystery why he was interviewed by Google.
Although Roche was my idol as a young rider, he needs to come clean. His "surprise"
at Kimmage's revelations of the doping in cycling when he published his book are
laughable.
just can it. no one want to hear it. kimmage is a fnn douche
@@cypriano8763
Plenty of people want to hear it. Just not biased Roche fans like you
@@lucasm3879 haven been drinking the lemond kool aid eh. Look into his career. Coaches, teamates, team doctors, his vo2max. All doping man. You cant have a 94 vo2max clean period. Thats the proof
One of these days at one of these meaningless events they'll get Visentini in so this discussion can be balanced out by Visentini's version of events. Roche has been able to pretty much say what he likes ever since 1987.
Can never respect a man who doped for glory.
What stupid questions the interviewer asked.
Maybe he should have googled some better questions.
How far back we have to go to find an un doped tdf winner it ain’t this epo user
Still ignoring the fact he did use drugs. Be a man and admit it
The guy is a fraud.
Dominik Winterer how?
@@JosephLycettCycling
I'm guessing he means because of the doping revelations
Every one including Roche knows that the cycling world knows he cheated dope and lied what a disgrace to his country and his family.
He was never proven guilty so with any positives test.He fainted at one of his finishes in 1987 which tells us that he did not use drugs because if he did he would not have had those problems.Guilty till proven not guilty just because you and others think so.
Roland Somm David Williams had all the evidence on this junkie liar cheat said he took EPO like it was going out of fashion. So take you're head out of roches ass hole and wipe his shit off your face and get with the real world
You are a disgrace to your family not him, for your disgraful quality of speech.He never tested positive so people should not be hanged until they have been proven guilty.If we convict people without positive prove then we open the door for choas in society and for fools like you to control law and order by calling people guilty without any prove.See how you will feel if someone calls you guilty without any sure prove.
Roland Somm you love cheat liars junkies go fuck yourself are you his son gay lover.
the links lizard Well you have proven by your speech what level of society you come from.Trash you are and nothing less.Bye bye trash.
As an Irishman, it's sickening to watch this charade. Roche is a drugs cheat, no if, buts, or maybes.
who cares !
@@cypriano8763 real cycling fans care
@@domurtag1978 true cycling fans know doping has always been and will forever be an integral part of the sport. Only nubes believe the kimmage/ walsh/ lemond assertions that the evil dopers are cheating the white knight moral clean riders. Thats pure bs. Do you actually take phil gaimon with a 450 watt ftp to be clean because he has a fnn tattoo. Get real man, its time to grow up and stop the fairy tales. All protected riders dope, everyone, for ever and ever and ever. Lemond is not the only clean tour de france winner in its 100 plus year history, impossible. Look up dopeology, youll see!
Stephen Roche was a brilliant competitor. He was winning races all his life, a true sportsman. It’s a cheap ignorant jibe to call him a cheat, he was no such thing. People making those remarks should cop on an provide proof if the have any. Which they can’t have . He was always a man of principle. Don’t confuse talent which loose talk and scurrilous assumptions to take someone’s character. Well done Stephen rise above that nonsense your better than that,
Ron
@@patmccarthy8985 God bless your innocence/stupidity
He really has gotten very not-fit.
