These are UCI pro bicycle racers, training during the season, competing in international races. Which means they are being drug tested sometimes, and live constantly under threat of random test. And large doses of steroids are very easy to detect.

Which does not mean all the riders are completely drug-free - unfortunately we know that - but does mean these riders are probably not taking such blatant amounts of steroids as to be " 'roid raged". I think that claim is not only without any basis - Jeff invented it, zero evidence at all - but logically is quite unlikely.

If you want to surmise their heart rates were high and their adrenalin up, that would seem pretty likely.

But to claim with zero evidence that these riders were on heavy steroids is just inventing a story.

There is being a Devil's Advocate - and then there is making up stuff. When we were talking about Dorner, Jeff had no problem making up the claim that the murdered Monica Quan was an evil scheming witch who might have deserved her death. Same thing going on here.
