Drug cheat Lance Armstrong FINALLY 'considering publicly admitting his doping guilt' and that his seven Tour de France titles were a fraud | Mail Online


I have no sympathy. No nothing for him.
he shoud not be able to now capitalize on being honest, admitting. He has lived a 100 years on the phony Tour de France wins so he has had the good life.
tht dumb. Drugs don't work.
People always find out.
There is no way around using drug enhancements and not have the sports ' officials fin d out. Too much testing. Random testing. Too many people willing to sell you out.
Dumb.

Finally he admits. Was about time!

All cyclists , and I mean all, past and present, use perfomance enhancers. It has been going on since forever going back to Eddie Merckx, Bernard Hinault, etc... Lance was singled out because he won so many and beat them at their own game.

Lance mastered his craft, and he was an American dominating a European sport.


Look at the forehead of Clay Matthews.... Now "try" and tell me how much HGH he has not done.

Baseball, football, cycling.... It's not about who partake a in performance enhancing drugs, it's who does it best.

Armatrong established a doping empire! He did not just dope himself.

Established and the kingpin?

While it is true that it was very sophisticated, to imply that it was he, and he alone, that conjured up this master scheme is a bit of stretch, IMHO.

The methods of detection were woefully lacking in the earlier days. They are better today, but still not where they need to be. Remember, Lance never tested positive. More recently, Contrador tested positive, yet his title was not stripped as it should have been. Even the infamous Jan Ullrich whom finished second to Lance a time or two was partaking.

For the record, I am a Tour de France fan. In case you did not know, I am from France. So I too have a unique perspective.

I am wondering why they just don't legalize it. They are all doping, some get caught, some don't.

Im with you, legalize all of this stuff, cocane, pot, drugs,crack, I really dont care.
Stop spending billions fighting it, and start making billions off the taxes, and policing it to make it safer.

The Netherlands make a hell lot of money in taxes since they legalized dope. But let cocaine and other hard drugs in the illegal list, please!

Coming back to doping: you can't stop it, because everybody wants to go higher, faster and better. They have to, because their opponents do so
