Looks like Lance wasn't dealing off the top of the deck.
Dang it ...so disappointing.... even IF cycling 'invented' the art of drug cheating....
If Nike has pulled the plug he's obviously in the poo big time.
They didn't even pull out on that idiot golfer who couldn't keep it in his pants.
If anyone is left still imagining the sun shines out of his arse....you are in for a big disappointment.
UCI has now pulled the plug.
Armstrong has been written out of the record books.... stripped of all 7 titles.
And a sad thing... for cycling and Armstrong.
I'm far more concerned about the fate of the charity which did so much for cancer victims, and its future.
Despite being a cheat, he is still the best cyclist, because...
Today's logic: Armstrong is guilty of doping. He is also guilty of doping his team mates. Doping is widespread in cycling, therefore...
...if all cyclists are guilty of doping, then they are all equal. So, Armstrong must still be the best. Right?
Don't fuzz with the fuzzball...
The evidence is pretty clear Lance doped.
Unfortunately, given the fact he doped yet no test at the time could detect the dope (it was obviously engineered specifically to defeat the tests), there's no way to know with any degree of confidence who did or did not dope. Heavy investigations went into Lance because he got all the glory from so many championships ... that doesn't mean the #2, #3, #4 guys, etc. didn't dope, but because they didn't get the glory of winning as #1, there hasn't been as much scrutiny on them. Relying on dope tests is an ever-losing game ... the advantage will always go to the dope engineers, as they can always stay one step ahead. I'm betting they have a hand in engineering the tests for dope, so they know exactly how to get around it ... it would be like the manufacturers of Las Vegas anti-cheat devices having a side business in cheating Vegas casinos or anti-malware publishers having a hand in making malware that gets around the anti-malware protection. That's just a hunch, though.
That only means he was the best at doping. Its not a competition of cycling, then, but a pharmaceutical competition.
And I'd bet at least some cyclists don't dope ... they'd be the ones toward the end of the cyclists, the last to cross the finish line.
