He’s not the greatest if he achieved his victories by cheating

Not the greatest. Just the most successful tour rider of all time. Not the greatest though. Do you know anything about the exceptional athlete he was long before cycling?

Didn’t think so.

Read, educate & then respond with a comment.

Thank you

duhhhhhhh

It’s a good job then that the USADA report said that this the most sophisticated one ever “seen”.

a fair point my good man.

My more general point is that cycling has been forced to take anti-doping seriously. In most sports it amounts to little more than window dressing. We have no idea what lurks beneath the surface.

haha! lol!

Nonsense, from start to finish.

“nearly all the athletes are doping to a degree.” Unquantifiable but not beyond realm of possibility. What of the genuinely clean athletes though?
“he still put in a hell of a lot of gruelling training.” Of course. He also put in a lot of work with the best dope doctors around, made sure all his team doped and bullied any dissent into silence or banishment.
“we do support the use of such performance enhancing drugs”. Not me.

I understand you’re coming at it from a different angle but it’s ultimately a flawed stance.

Sweet mother of Jesus, what a post! Please tell me you’re taking the p*ss.

When you put it that way, I guess, “who cares”!

Who cares about anything?

Eh?

Chris, in the words of TD Simon Harris ‘Chillax’. Yes the world is a little crazy, but I don’t think The Journal is going to stop reporting the whole spectrum of the news just because there’s some other more serious stories out there!

Not much the doping or cycling federation (or whatever it’s called) can do about Iran, Israel, or world hunger or the global economy. They’re doing their job, so what’s your problem? Not great logic in your comment.

Hark! Hark! Another ostrich.

Open your eyes and ears, Joe.

Lance is a disgrace and is nothing more than a junkie and drug dealer. The UCI is also a morally corrupt organisation and its a shame that it is run by an Irishman.

@joe here is some proof the following is from the usada “The evidence of the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team-run scheme is overwhelming and is in excess of 1000 pages, and includes sworn testimony from 26 people, including 15 riders with knowledge of the US Postal Service Team (USPS Team) and its participants’ doping activities. The evidence also includes direct documentary evidence including financial payments, emails, scientific data and laboratory test results that further prove the use, possession and distribution of performance enhancing drugs by Lance Armstrong and confirm the disappointing truth about the deceptive activities of the USPS Team, a team that received tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars in funding”

7 in a row , proof right there for god sake!!
