After Stage 18 of the Tour de France, Polish rider Bartosz Huzarski's legs looked like something out of a horror movie:
Huzarski's viral vascularity garnered so much attention -- including chatter about doping allegations -- that he updated his initial Facebook post with the following statement:
"I did not expect that picture of my legs would cause the confusion it did. For me it's totally not a revelation, because I can see this view -- maybe not everyday -- but still often, especially after a hard race at high temperature. People write and think different things, that is impossible, that is not normal, it is unhealthy, refer to doping, etc. Of course I will not have legs like Victoria's Secret models, or Mary from a nearby vegetable shop ... Unfortunately it does not work like that and what you see in the picture below is not unhealthy."
