A rolling internet poll for leading sports magazine L'Equipe currently asks: 'Do you think the performance of British cyclists at the London Games has been tainted by cheating?'
主流体育杂志《队报》日前发起的一份滚动网上民意调查发问：“你认为英国自行车队在伦敦奥运会比赛中的表现是否涉嫌作弊？”

France team director Isabelle Gautheron said: ‘We are asking a lot of questions: how have they gained so many tenths of seconds?’
法国队队长伊莎贝尔•高斯隆说：“我们有很多疑问：他们怎么能提速那么多？”
‘Have they found a new training process based on certain energy pathways? I am not talking about any illicit product, because anti-doping tests are so strong.
“他们是基于某种能量转换途径，发现了新的训练方法吗？我指的不是非法药物，因为反兴奋剂测试非常严格。
