"And together we all allowed one man to dominate the sport, to its detriment." What detriment? The sport grew tremendously while Lance was winning his 7 TdFs. The detriment of scandal? Something in any way unusual for bicycle racing from an historical context? The detriment of having an American beating the Euros at their own game? The detriment, if true, of learning from the Festina scandal and finding a better way to cheat? What was it "we" allowed? What were "we" supposed to do? If Lance doped, he didn't win 7 TdFs because he doped. He won because he had a system in place that other teams lacked. Other teams that most certainly were doping at the time (as proven by those who were caught). To the extent we gave him sainthood, sure, guilty on that one. But it's absurd to suggest that cycling suffered greatly due to Lance, or that any one thing Lance did caused that to happen. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycleswww.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA Thanks for sharing your utterly vapid, amoral position on what Armstrong and Co. did, Mike. How many Treks and how much profit did you make off Trek/Lance product during the lying years? Nothing gets past you, does it? Other than addressing the conversation at hand that is. That's twice today. Why is it more important on rbr to score insults than intelligence? --Mike-- * * Chain Reaction Bicycleswww.ChainReactionBicycles.com-Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Why won't you accept that you are a doping profiteer? None of the Lance apologists ever asked any questions while he was winning and growing the sport. You benefitted tremendously if you sold Treks during that era - which it appears you did. What you need to realize is that he grew the sport ONLY because he cheated his ass off - better than anyone else in his era. But those gains were all artificial. Just like the housing bubble. All the assholes selling and taking out adjustable mortgages just wanted to ride the train and didn't want to ask any questions when property values were rising. You are one of those assholes. Face it and repent. Whether Lance doped or not has nothing to do with the quality of the bike. If anything, it means that the bike is even better, because it is able to withstand the stress of an even stronger rider. Cycling is one of the rare sports in which anyone with a modest amount of money can buy exactly the same vehicle as the world's #1 racer. In the US and the UK, this is currently one of the reasons for the sport's recent growth, the rise of MAMILS. The direct result is positive health benefits, as opposed to the previous middle aged crisis where men bought sports cars. No matter whether Armstrong cheated, and no actual proof has been brought despite his conviction here and in the media, his career has led to direct health benefits to the world. -ilan |

Novitsky may be planning to spike your water bottle with truth serum so you'll confess to flying to France via Valencia and flying to Valencia is illegal because of the orange juice. |
