Clean Winners of the Tour de France - as far as we know.
"Anton Berlin" schreef in bericht ... We've all seen this but only in 1990 do we have a clean rider on the podium for the years Armstrong doped his way to first place. You have to go pretty deep to find a clean rider. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4111/...acf5edfd_b.jpg 1999 winner of the Tour de France is now Fernando Escartin. 2000 winner is ( you have to go to 8th place to find a non-doper ) is also Fernado Escartin ! 2001 winner is Andrei Kivilev 2002 won by José Azevedo 2003 won by Haimar Zubeldia 2004 won by José Azevedo 2005 won by (former 8th place) Cadel Evans Methodology was to wiki the tour then wiki the gc until I found no (historically) doping allegations/implications or positive tests/ suspensions listed. Also note 2009 - now won by Andy Schleck Escartin clean? He was not only one of dr. Ferrari's 'patients, but the police found also his name in Conconi's files as one of the riders with a hematocrit more than 50%. Benjo Maso |

Someone must have been telling lies about Lance A., for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning. Fredmaster Ben |

It's an illusion, you have no idea at all if these guys are "clean", and there's every indication that they're not. Your "evidence" of no allegations/implications is simply silly - anyone who was in top 20 on GC in a GT for the past couple of decades is suspect, and more than likely a doper. Just what it takes to be in that group. I agree - just making the point. OK, but then don't add the disclaimer "as far as we know". Dumbasses, The last clean winner of the Tour de France was Roger Walkowiak, who won in 1956. Walkowiak was an unknown rider who got into a long break and then was unexpectedly able to defend his lead. (Ironically, wikipedia claims his victory was widely derided because he wasn't a big star and won without ... panache.) Given his unknown pedigree and the state of cycling at the time, it's fairly safe to say that Walkowiak would have had a doping programme much less sophisticated than the favorites of the day - he might not have been able to afford much of a doping programme at all. A sophisticated doping program didn't exist in 1956. There weren't even team doctors. Most riders were taking all kinds of products, prescribed by their soigneurs. The trouble was that none of these soigneurs had any medical training. The only serious performance enhancing product riders were using was amphetamine. Until 1955 anybody could by it for a few francs at a pharmacy - without a prescription. In 1956 it was a little harder to get - one had to buy it in Spain or at the black market, but it was still very cheap. Walkowiak wasn't quite unknown (at the 1955 Dauphiné Libéré he had made suffer even Louison Bobet) and he had also a soigneur: the ex-pro Andrea Minasso, who also served Anquetil and Rivière - not quite riders known to be 'clean'. So probably Bartali would be a better choice... Benjo Maso |

However, it was banned in France, but not the UCI, the race was in Bordeaux. 1996: Riis admitted he doped. 1997: Ullrich + Puerto. 1998: Pantani. Enough said. That takes me back to Greg Lemond. I can't think of any cheating controversy involving him. Maybe all those lead pellets lodged in his heart helped him on the 1990 descent of the Marie Blanque when Chiapucci attacked him after he flatted. -ilan |

Obviously you're very happy about it - in the original German version it's not 'a fine morning', but just 'a morning' ("...ohne dass er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet").

Benjo That's a difference between English and German-speaking attitudes I guess - how optimistic the mere fact of a morning makes you. I couldn't remember the exact phrasing so I had to google it - "fine morning" is in the standard English version I think, so it appears to be license on the part of the translator. Fredmaster Ben |

From that list I guess I only trust Lemond (and don't know Pellicioli). |
