But what I don't get is why this is a surprise? Lance knew this was going to happen when he withdrew his arguments against the USADA recently, and went on to say things like "The USADA have no jurisdiction here unless you give them the credit they want" or something similar.
Basically, the way I saw it was the yanks don't control cycling, the French do, and they've set up this Texas-courtroom style nonsense to try and 'own' some of the sport.
IIRC Lance's team-'mates' were on the stuff and coughed and spluttered their apologies saying 'yeah but the bigger boys did it too, so it's ok'. Lance is the biggest boy there is. I don't trust what the USADA say, Tygart has a personal vendetta against Lance.
If he was on the stuff, he joins everyone else at the time. And he beat them, be it on whatever terms, he still won the TDF. 7 times. |

He is a cock, so I'm not suprised. The fact that he was beating the shit out of everyone who were taking drugs has to tell you that he was not only the best cyclist, but also the best drug taker.
The difference between the Armstrong era tours and today's tours is marked. I remember relentless attacking in the mountains, repeated punishment, crazy surges in acceleration again and again. They just don't do that anymore, they simply do not have the strength and capacity to do it.
Nibali publishes his power outputs for almost every stage he does, and even as a top climber he is around 10% down on the Armstrong era.
They were all using, which is sad really, as they are tainted, but happily the guy who was at the top (and also the biggest cockbag) has now been exposed.
........
Substance abuse and cycling go hand in hand. The very first tours were competed by riders who literally got pissed to the eyeballs to make it through the 14 hour stages, then it progressed through amphetamines in the 50's - 70's (Tom Simpson speeding so hard he rode himself to death), then into the steroid abuse, blood doping, EPO fuelled era that has apparently ended.
This won't be the end of it, it is institutionalised. |

Haven't really been following it, but the impression I get from skimming is that he was some sort of pimp daddy drug vampire. The drained corpses of virgins scattered along the Tour de Frog were probably the first clue. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
