So who did win those 7 tours?

Anyone compiled the new list of 7 winners of the vacated Lance tour
wins? Party at LeMonds place tonight. Can I have that stack of
benjamins I gave Trek for their 5200 model in 2000 returned to me
since it was sold to me on false pretenses? I'll keep the bike for
the penalty part of the settlement.

It's going to be rough

A cloud of suspicion lingered over Lance Armstrong when he retired.
Both times.

When Armstrong bowed out in 2005, L’Equipe didn’t write the
commemorative legacy piece he might have hoped for. Instead,
“Armstrong’s Lie,” claimed the seven-time Tour champ’s legacy began
with doping.

On the 2005 podium, Armstrong was famously quoted regarding people who
doubt impressive performances in cycling: “I feel sorry for you. I’m
sorry you don’t believe in miracles.” Flanking him that day were Ivan
Basso and Jan Ullrich, who were both prosecuted for doping soon
thereafter.

But the 2005 Tour riders marred by doping was not limited to the
podium, of course. An appraisal today of the top 20 riders in the
final overall reveals the following:

* 1. Lance Armstrong, Discovery Channel
* 2. Ivan Basso, CSC – confessed to Puerto involvement and banned
from 2006 Tour ()
* 3. Jan Ullrich, T-Mobile – connected to Puerto and banned from
2006 Tour
* 4. Francisco Mancebo, Illes Balears – connected to Puerto and
banned from 2006 Tour
* 5. Alexander Vinokourov, Astana – tested positive for doping at
2007 Tour
* 6. Levi Leipheimer, Gerolsteiner — accused of doping by Floyd
Landis and former Gerolsteiner manager
* 7. Michael Rasmussen, Rabobank – ejected from 2007 Tour while in
the yellow jersey
* 8. Cadel Evans, Davitamon-Lotto
* 9. Floyd Landis, Phonak – disqualified as 2006 Tour winner for
doping
* 10. Oscar Pereiro, Phonak – alleged to have doped by Landis
* 11. Christophe Moreau, Credit Agricole – admitted EPO use after
Festina Affaire
* 12. Yaroslav Popovych, Discovery Channel – home searched
* 13. Eddy Mazzoleni, Lampre-Caffita – charged in doping
conspiracy after receiving a two-year ban in 2008
* 14. George Hincapie, Discovery Channel — accused of doping by
Floyd Landis
* 15. Haimar Zubeldia, Euskaltel-Euskadi
* 16. Jörg Jaksche, Liberty Seguros – admitted doping since 1997
* 17. Bobby Julich, CSC
* 18. Oscar Sevilla, T-Mobile – suspended by team in 2006 for
Puerto links
* 19. Giuseppe Guerini, T-Mobile
* 20. Carlos Sastre, CSC
* Also, 23. Leonardo Piepoli, Saunier Duval-Prodir – tested
positive for CERA in 2008

Cadel might soon be a two time winner...

So we had "clean" , but miles ahead of his rivals in the TdF many of who
turned
out to be dopers (exempting Ullrich who never seemed to keep his weight
under control post 1997 - doper or not :-) ) .


Ho hum.
