Cheers I haven't read much about this story, but he apparently passed a drug test the day before the race, but then failed afterwards, for a substance that takes much longer than days to have an effect. It could be a false positive, or perhaps his alibi is true. |

wrote: Lance's bad influence extends to all ages. https://sports.yahoo.com/90-year-old...173702680.html Lets be honest. It wasn't only Lance that was using "medicine" to improve his ability, it was just about every one of the top riders of that era. Look at the record of how many were caught and penalized. Eddy Merckx, for example, tested positive in 1969, 1973 and 1977. Fausto Coppi stated openly, on a television interview, that he took " la bomba" - amphetamine. Miguel Induráin was never caught taking drugs, except for Salbutamol, but former Festina coach Antonie Vayer has cast doubt on Induráin's abilities, claiming only "mutants" could have performed at the level he did. -- Cheers, John B. |

I detest Lance Armstrong - not for his doping or even his denying it, but for his systematic attacks and attempts to destroy the credibility or finances of those who accused him of doping. That's what sets him apart from the other dopers = his vengeful attacks on those who tried to out him. Cheers |

I didn't disagree to his face, but I remember doubting that from the start. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Here's an interesting book to read, which deals with doping in sports. https://www.velopress.com/books/spitting-in-the-soup/ Actually, the issue is even bigger than sports. Does anyone think there's any limit to the things they will give to fighter pilots or other combatants to give them an edge? And to prevent the shooting from starting, I've often wondered what diplomats and politicians juice up on for cross-the-water trips. I know that whenever I've gone to Europe, I've been pretty dazed for two days. But someone like a Secretary of State is expected to jet over to Belgium or wherever and deal effectively with rival diplomats who have shifted their body clocks by one hour or less. Might the Yalta Conference have gone differently if it was held in Boston? -- - Frank Krygowski |
