Lance Armstrong

[Soviet]

I read an article on him this morning that was pretty interesting. I don't know much on the subject though, and don't really care enough to get any deeper into it.

Edit: fucking American TV...6mins of the show then 4 of advertisements...how on earth do you put up with that?!?!

Who the hell still watches TV?

Not hard to form an opinion here. All you need to watch is the first 5 minutes of the interview.

Unfortunately this sport is not clean..all top cyclists dope themselves.

imo guilty or not, Lance will always be a legend.

i was a keen fan like you killersam. i could name around 180 riders in the tour from 2002ish to now.
and when i first heard about lance being re tested i was like bull shit, he wouldnt of cheated. but then i heard more and more stuff about how shit of a person he was to everyone and i just got so sad that he had done it all. i will however agree that he is an amazing rider drugs or no drugs. and he also says that everyone doped back then. so if his main rivals like jan ulrich, andreas kloden, josheba belocki, ivan basso etc, also doped then he could of probably won it many times if doping didnt exist. in the 2010 tour he came 3rd and kloden came further back at 6th. ivan basso has barely scraped into top 20 with his return (i think...)

Personally I'd like to see a drugged Lance from the ~2000 days ride for 3 weeks alongside somebody like Chris Froome or Wiggo, I think there would be some epic stages.

they would unbelievably hard to beat. but im a fan of the schleck brothers and cadel evans (because he is aussie ofcourse )
my favourite rider though would still have to be sammy sanchez

[Mirko]

haha thats why i love sammy sanchez, (his descending ability)
but i will agree with you on voekler. he is the most unpredictable suprising guy out there. cadel is a bore and a pain sometimes i have to admit. all the sooks he has and the issues. but he is aussie so i still go for him

I don't agree with that at all. Personally I believe that the current generation are probably the cleanest of any sporting generation in years.

well, i accept your opinion but i don't think so...every year they find new way of doping/new drugs..unfortunately antidoping is always behind the doping

Cadel Evans was hilarious in the 2012 Tour De France. He is all talk and no action! He was giving interviews in the early stages about the final time trial being "The truth test" and that he was going to show the world what he could do e.t.c, then he got smashed.

last year the only one (of the top cyclist) that tryed to attack team Sky was Nibali..

Even with doping, it's still an impressive feat. The tour isn't easy.

But what the fuck happened to sportmanship?
