Reading all these things makes me sooo angry. You know what - fuck you Lance, fuck you and fuck your doctors, fuck all the people from the USA cycling federation covering all this shit for 20 years. You are going to destroy one of the most manly sports, which is a real test for the human physical boundaries. Good job! /rant    | ||

Here is the flipside though, what if the majority of cyclists are users? Does that redeem his comeback? I don't know, he was a legend but this shit really tarnishes him and the sport. | ||

All in all the whole thing seems like it should be so black and white: do the tests that, in this case, Armstrong took indicate that he was doping, or not, and that should be the end of it, but testimonials and donations and stuff like that really screw with what we know about what actually happened. On a more interesting note regarding bribery and the Tour de France, you should read about Jean Robic and his 1947 victory. | ||

At the same time the only people caught with doping are athletes from some third world countries. Corruption is all over the IOC and the Olympic idea is forgotten and replaced with capitalism and making money out of the sport. | ||

Realistically anyone who can compete with cheaters is somewhat likely to be also cheating. At least in sports that rely almost completely on strength and stamina. | ||

The sport stays incredible and the fights in the mountains are still heroic! Spread the love for cycling, Cycling is just miles in front of other sports when it comes to taking the doping out the sport, no other sport has so many drugtests! | ||

Look at the new generation who plays the game its ment to be played, cheaters currently stand no chance (see Riccardo Ricco for example). Perhaps it was a bit naive from you to think Armstrong was the one who wans't guilty, taking in consideration that all his contenders (Ulrich, Basso, Pantani, Virenque, etc.) all used doping and weren't able to beat him. But also take in consideration that even tough he used doping the things he did were incredible and in the tour almost the impossible is ask from a rider, its no surprise that the tour has been made a lot "easier" the last couple of years due to that reason. But please keep supporting the new "clean" guys like A. & F. Schleck, V. Nibali, C. Evans, B. Mollema, R. Gesink, R. Hesjedal, C. Froome, B. Wiggins etc. If by "clean" you mean "less juiced" you should indeed keep supporting those guys ! You really believe that bs ? http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/07/news/tour-notebook-stage-15-froome-battles-parasite-media-cars-expelled_230162 | ||

No he hasn't admitted it, but his former teammates and associates have. They have implicated him in the doping. It's pretty damning stuff. | ||
