Default So What are thaey gonna do with Lance's 7 non WINS

I mean what will the history books show? Just a big gap for those 7 years almost as if the tour was not run? They really cant show that Lance won. Perhaps his name will still appear but with a huge asterisk next to his name but then, I don't see how that would accomplish lance's demise. After all it would still appear as if he won. They really can't give the title to whoever came in second as they were probably doping as well. Giving the title to a runner up who was also doping would hardly be fair to Lance. But then the Lance haters would say that one would have to prove that the runner up was doping while they required no such thing to go after LA...It is a conundrum

What they did with Riis was remove his name and leave
it blank. Then they quietly added it back later.

Kind of funny that Riis is still recognized as a Tour
winner but LANCE isn't. I guess it pays to not be a
raging asshole.
