LANDIS! Lying?
Could be.
But I don't know why people bemoan the obvious regarding Tour de France winners, and the other participants. Come on, folks. Common sense tells us that bikers CAN NOT EVEN COMPETE in this event unless they're fueled by illegal, but largely undetectable, enhancement drugs! ALL OF 'EM! And sometimes, like Floyd, they get caught. And please don't insist that Lance Armstrong "won the right way," unless you also mean the wrong way! Now, for the umpteenth time, "for all you youngsters out there," with so many multi-millions of endorsement and appearance $ DOLLARS $ at stake, do you think ANY rational biker would even consider ENTERING a big event like the TDF without FIRST carefully choosing to ingest the best possible menu of performance-enhancing drugs? And do you think ONE guy--Armstrong--could win SEVEN straight TDFs--against fierce world-class competition--without the assistance of drugs? And do you even fully believe Lance's cancer survival stories? Like overcoming BRAIN cancer? Like, you don't buy the notion that, just maybe, some public relations-cum- sports agent didn't dream at least some of this up to boost publicity and recognition? What a STORY, right? Don't cry because you bought it hook, line and sinker. After all, you're not alone! IF you're STILL in denial, relax. And enjoy future Tours de France, safe in the knowledge that all those buff young men are on illegal chemicals, and thus the field is, after all, truly COMPETITIVE. Maybe we'll call it the Tour de Drug, or Tour de Hormone, or Tour de Alchemie, oui? |

LANDIS! Lying?
Yeah they're all on drugs.
People are now playing the genetics card to reason it's why Lance was so good. Sure it's true that genetics play a part, but all the people that compete at the tour level are genetically rare. It's not like the they're chumps and freds. So of course any tiny advantage is going to be sought after and taken advantage of. It's human nature. And drugs definitely give someone who's already genetically gifted and trains like mad an edge, it's undisputable. So the name of the game now is avoiding detection, and I'm certain there are many ways this can be done. My two bits. Eric |

If Lance had been assigned as a Domestique for one of the other guys then one of them might have won. Strategy played a big part too. It isn't just muscle out there, it is brains and planning too. What strategy? well, like seriously taking part only in one race a year: the tour de france. even his participation in the dauphine libere was for the sole purpose of riding, in race conditions, over the same roads than the tour will take. the dauphine takes place a month before the tour. ultimate preparation. have you ever seen him doing anything or taking part in any other major events: giro d'italia, vuelta a espagna, etc...? lance, despite all the greatness you may recognize him as a cyclist, has been a one race rider: le tour. so, as much as it hurts to recognize, i think baka is right on this one. kind of... maybe... sort of... (just kidding baka, don't jump to your keyboard).

What strategy? Lance did a great job of playing guys off of one another. His last, he'd go on a break with Basso one day and with Ullrich and Kloden the next. Net result they'd fight for second and Armstrong gets the win. Ron |
