I tell a student that the most important class you can take is technique. A great chef is first a great technician.

Drug use, within entire teams continues unabated. It is planned and deliberate cheating, with complex methods, sophisticated substances and techniques, and the active complicity of doctors, scientists, team officials and riders. There is nothing accidental about it. ↗

Progress comes to those who train and train; reliance on secret techniques will get you nowhere. ↗
