Hi folks Despite the name/avatar, I'm not that versed in the details of the sport. I'm not sure if I'm breaching sacred ground here but I'd thought I'd ask here. It's pretty clear LeMond was clean throughout his career. I recall reading somewhere that in the early 90s, he was suddenly...

I don't follow cycling/Armstrong that closely, but this is a fascinating article from S.I. (did anyone post this yet?) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/austin_murphy/10/12/Ironman-Kona-World-Championships/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_wr_a5 "It amounted to a kind of bait and switch...

I'm assuming this has been discussed here already, but in case it hasn't, this cannot be missed. "Italian cyclist Gina Bartali won the Tour de France twice, but it's what he did in between - smuggling documents in his bicycle to help Jews during the Second World War - that drew the interest of...

Armstrong is still far from guilty in the court of public opinion, and even if he gets his TdFs annulled, I honestly don't think that'll change.

According to this article, all 7 victories are in jeopardy, even though most fall outside the 8 year SoLs. (although they seem to err in saying the SoL goes back to 2005 - should be 2004?)...

Nope, not a troll. I'm an arms-length cycling fan. I wasn't sure how to pose the question. I had never heard of his 1993 win being tainted - so I was wondering if whether even his cynics (his "haters") acknowledged it to be clean. I had thought he started into doping after cancer, but I...

Just curious. Was Armstrong ever linked to doping prior to his 1993 world championship victory? Or is that victory considered by haters to be clean?

There's some extra clips of the interview (not aired) on the CBS site. I like this one, where TH talks about the TDF. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7366932n&tag=segementExtraScroller;housing

Is Carlos Sastre viewed as having been clean? He's named in the other thread as a multiple-TDF winner in the absence of the dopers.

Read all the insults Tyler is getting on his FB like page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tyler-Hamilton/51581353533 Bunch of idiot fan-childs.

Commercial break. It is a pretty damning report.

I wonder what they're gonna say about me :P

Play by play goes here :)

I can't see this happening. Armstrong is too much of a deity for this to all be pinned on him. Without a positive test, there will be much of the American public who will still give him the benefit of the doubt. Even WITH a positive test, folks would still think it was an error or an isolated...

I haven't had a chance to check the whole thread - but a good article over at the Toronto Star: http://www.thestar.com/article/924395--kelly-same-old-lance-armstrong-story Excerpt: Maybe Lance Armstrong was just born at the wrong time. If he’d born in, say, 450 B.C., he could’ve spent his...
