Pogačar Beat Pantani's EPO Record - Is He Doping?
Tadej Pogačar has just gone faster up Alpe d’Huez than Marco Pantani — but what does that actually tell us?

We also look at where performance estimates can become misleading, why historical comparisons are far more complicated than they seem, and the uncomfortable question everyone eventually arrives at when a modern rider eclipses an EPO-era benchmark.
