24 hour surveillance before and during the race
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/gerdemann-offers-to-undergo-surveillance-at-tour
I wonder if anyone takes him up on it.
Bet if a more popular rider did it, there would be people asking to pay for it.
yikes, i fear that 24-hour surveillance of Linus Gerdemann would be like watching “The Crying Game”
.
The next reality tv series, DOPERS! good that he’s willing to take a step to avoid the nonesense from the get go but is he good enough to even worry about taking podium to even worry about if he’s cheating?
Well its not always the podium people that matter. If Your Lance/Evans/Contador and need 2 more teammates to pull just those extra 5km’s on a tough stage, having that “unknown” (although this particular guy isnt just some random unkown rider) rider dope and get that extra advantage can be huge.
Just take a look at Lance’s past teammates. A good handful of his ex TdF teammates have been caught doping (just for an example). Obviously during the Tour’s they were “clean” (in terms of not been caught), so did they just somehow start doping immediately after changing teams???

you’re right, I should have worded myself differently, no rider should dope and they all should be tested and lifetime banned in caught. i just first thought, “Who in the hell is this guy, get off my pc screen.” when i saw that pic. 
Hasn’t someone done this before? IIRC correctly it was an English speaking rider - maybe an Aussie sprinter? I think his offer was even to be tailed for a whole year but I’m not sure if he got any takers.
Well I think your point is somewhat valid. No one really cares to watch 24/7 unless its Lance/Contador/Evans. If its just some regular guy/upper level rider people wont care. They may think its a cool idea, but I bet the funding doesnt happen.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for making my day!

I’d like to see Tornado Tom do this. That party boy would be a reality TV hit.
Christoph Sauser did do the part about publishing the results of his blood values when Filip Meirhaeghe got caught doping and then people accused him of doping because Sauser was always getting second to Filip

Imagine his performance if his crit value was twenty points higher like Riis!

And I used to think that your name is a reference to being a cyclist. Thanks for clarifying that you meant this:
The next reality tv series, DOPERS!..
Why do I keep hearing the theme from “COPS!” in my head? “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do…”
Imagine the sponsorship money he can get if he had a crew following him.
