Did you think that Lance Armstrong responded to the other racers with the same drugs and doping as they used?

I think there should always be two of the same cycling competitions: one for the clean cyclists and one for dopers. This way they can compete against the best of the best in their respective groups without any scandal. This way, it truly does level the playing field, no?

I think it's also quite callous and naive to genuinely believe there are no clean cyclists. There are plenty. We might not know them very well, or they don't always get to the top, but they compete clean. No one enters the cycling world with the intention of doping.

Actually if you look at the public records, Lance used about 10x more than the next guy. Dealed 10x ore. Had about 10x more witnesses than the next guy. Some guys have been accused only once in their whole careers, like by someone that was writting a book and making a proffit out of it.

If you look at the amount of drug in Contador's (lost a TdF and a Giro titles, suspended for 2 years) sample compared to what Lance had, Lance should have lost about 100 TdF titles.

Look at the race records yourself. Some people have been playing clean and still in the top 10. Some guys even won that have never tested positive, been suspects or even been accussed of anything by anyone.

If you look at the years after Landys, things are getting very clean.

I could give you a list of cyclist that have been in the top 10 and are squaky clean so far by anybody's accaount.

Yeah, Lance didn't do anything the rest of the riders weren't doing.

I've never been a big Lance Armstrong fan (because he's an a$$hole), but this does not detract from my image. In fact, the fact that he is forced to do this while say Contador doesn't... Why didn't Contador lose everything? Why didn't Valverde have to turn in his golden velo?

Lance Armstrong is a great man and raised Millions and millions of dollars for cancer research. All the racers were doping. that's why they never gave his prize to anyone else !
