Lance has always very strongly denied using career enhancing drugs , however if this is true he has made a fool of all fans of racing and his seven tour of France’s count for nothing . Paul kimmage will be vindicated he has always maintained lance not clean

drowning rats always squeal

I am a great cycling fan and I have to say I do sometimes have to wonder how they can keep going after certain very hard stages. What is strange is the amount of testing that gets done. Over 500 test for Armstrong over the duration of his career all clean.

It seems like most of the top cyclists were all at it for years. If so they all had the same advantage. It was more a case of it being an impossibility to win a multi stage race without doping, so it became a visious circle. I remember Armstrong taking off up Alp de Huez one year in the tour, leaving his nearest rival Jan Ulrich (a doper) for dust.

Bullshit Derek, there are plenty of clean riders. What makes Armstrong’s case prominent amongst other things is that he has, if found guilty of doping, committed a federal offence.

The title of his book “it’s not about the bike” was a hint, I suppose he couldn’t have used “It’s about the EPO I’m taking!”
Just read Bad Blood. Drugs are endemic in the peloton. Improved performance by 20%…anybody not taking them got left behind. Last definitely clean Tour de France winner was Greg LeMond. I dunno bout Indurain. Credit Irish journalist David Walsh even more than Kimmage, he was on Armstrong s case from early on.

Lance Armstrong has made a huge amount of personal wealth, by allegedly using his sporting ‘success’ & by allegedly putting funds through his private company ‘Livestrong’ which most people mistake for his charitable foundation ‘Livestrong’. Any time he is questioned on anything that might be deemed innapropriate behaviour on his side, he claims cancer as his defence & that anyone who chastises him is basically insulting anyone who has suffered cancer…

If he is proven to be a sports cheat, I hope they throw the book at him… BTW I believe he has also been accussed of diverting US taxpayers money for his own personal gain & to fund his (alleged) drug taking, while he was sponsored by the US Post Office

There has been constant speculation over the years that Armstrong was doping. Becasue he was such an asset top the sport of cycling, it may have been easily covered up. Very interested to see what the outcome is!!!

Let’s not judge until we see all the facts, ah!

I’d love to think that he wasn’t, but I honestly believe that all the top riders are at it, the winning ones at least, the clean guys are 10% – 20% behind them.

I just can’t see why lance would have came out of retirement to finish 3rd in the tour two years ago if he had something to hide, why take the risk?

C’mon lads get real, what about the time a few years back that more than 100+ cyclists were found positive for one substance or another ? Cycling has always been rife with drugs, no point denying it because you are fans of the sport and now you feel cheated at being sucked in by a drug fest- I felt the same when John Higgins cheated in snooker but I don’t defend the sport and it’s cheats.

There may be cheats in all sports but the fact of the matter is that cheating in cycling is an absolute epidemic, taking drugs became the norm and every cyclist competing knew it as did the doctors, team managers and administrators of the sport. It is riddled with corruption from top to bottom

This is a serious head hunt that the USADA are on. They seem to be trying to make a name for themselves here. He has been cleared of all allegations and they couldn’t catch him at the time. Just let it go already.

I’m a big admirer of Lance and his achievements. I’m ok with the fact that he passed all his drug tests and so I think it should be left as is. If they go after Lance, why not go after all the big names of the 80′s and 90′s. They all must have been doping in some form. They all of course deny it, but this retrospective hunt to bring down the biggest name in the sport is shameful I think.

Even if Lance did dope, you still need some serious talent to win the Tour de France. He had it in spades.

I think that they should just let them at it and take as much of whatever substance as they want.

Tour de France = An annual competition to see who can take the most drugs

I think bikes should be banned from all roads

I don’t defend the sport and it’s cheats.
