This is true, pretty much every TdF winner has been implicated in doping - even back to Eddy Merckx who was actually caught during his career but was never stripped of any titles!* But no-one talks about those other guys, I think someone was determined to bring down the biggest name in cycling.

Whether or not Lance was indeed guilty - and the evidence sadly suggests he was - someone was definitely not going to stop until he, and he alone, had been pronounced guilty.

Or if someone's daddy paid for them

Damn, also they get ride off Livestrong and Nike dump him.

This. Cycling is literally what Hollywood and the music industry used to be.

!!!
Exactly,I am happy he got caught.Champions are so supposed to set the example.Should I mention that's a dangerous practice for Armstrong's health.smh


I do

I knew one

The thousand plus page report by the USADA has all the tea about how Armstrong was able to avoid testing positive. It's naive at this point not to believe the (rightfully bitter) teammates of his that spoke out against him. I hope Rupert Murdorch comes for that ass because Lance had the gaul to sue one of the Newscorp. papers that printed doping allegations about him and wound up winning a judgment in civil court. Greg Lemond needs to sue too because Lance got Lemond's bike endorsement contract terminated after Greg accused Lance of doping.

I don't know how I feel about this.

I BELIEVE he did it, and this is the appropriate response to that, but at the same time... something seems so off. I'll keep quiet.

That sucks.

The ICU announced today that Armstrong's titles will not be re-allocated to anyone else.

In short: they're basically admitting that virtually everyone in those races was doping.

********.
show me a failed test or GTFO

Oh wow

I want receipts or he's not guilty.

At the end of the day, its STILL speculation and hearsay. How was Lance the ONLY one to not test positive, yet everyone else did? And well over 500+ tests, not one of them negative. Blood boosting have been around since the 80's, and the tests have never been reliable, You dont think that if he wouldve at LEAST had a false positive once between 2000 and 2002? Like I said, show me a failed test, or miss me with all that.

He had it coming.
