BTW, I think he probably doped but.... I agree, the examples you bring up are not bulletproof evidence. Now, if people from postal talk and corroborate each other - then I think the prosecutors have a case or at least can put him in a position to perjure himself. In my opinion though - Lance...

I have seen a lot of these posts on this forum. From what I have gathered, unless you trash Lance, Radioshack, et al. you are likely to be labeled uninformed and then a troll. This keeps the threads devoid of clear reason and a diversity of opinion. I have read threads which consist of one lance...

Wow, after reading this post, I would have to agree that any posts hereafter would be an upgrade. 1. Your assumption that "fanboys" are stupid is stupid on it's face. I have seen nothing in this forum to make me believe that AC "fanboys" are somehow more informed than LA "fanboys". 2...

Thinking is an awesome skill too. Yes, Contador was not only "no faster" - but in fact quite a bit slower. Contador being 5 minutes slower over 50 K is not sufficiently explained by the lack of a Cat 3 climb and some wind. The more plausible theory is that this tour is cleaner - the climbers...

Americans already know the story. No nuclear bomb. Everyone I know thinks he probably doped. We also know everyone else was probably doping and that was the culture - dope, lie, etc. If not Lance, to whom should go the spoils? All have sinned. We admire the man, know he is far from perfect, but...

Sarcasm aside - that was at least a competition, along with the green and polka, that was not a foregone conclusion. Let's just not dismiss it because The Shack won it. They earned it.

I just hired a lawyer to help me with a home purchase, my grandmother had a lawyer in charge of the estate. Let's raise the bar of discussion here a bit. Much like you hire an orthopedic to investigate a problem with your joints, one hires a fraud attorney to deal with fraud accusations. In...

Are you serious? Contador attacked immediately upon noticing the chain slip. Plus attacking a rider with a functional bike is racing, attacking a rider without a chain after not being able to follow said rider's attack is not.

It is not just you - I thought it was disgraceful the way he rode. He should ride like a champion or as a teammate, preferably both. Right now, he is riding like neither.

You'll need to ask Vino. As for Lance, I am disappointed in his effort. He does not seem to be riding like his message.

Sure, I'll venture a guess. Not very far - being that Uncle Sam throws money around with little or no oversight. Plus, they weren't fleeced - USPS got great exposure and press. This case isn't about money, it's about doping and busting those who encourage it - if that means going after the money...

Nice one 131313

Wish I could agree - but can't. Most of the last decade's best cyclists cheated. All sorts of people cheat - on their taxes, in golf, in school, etc. Nonetheless, he should own up fully to all he has known and done. But I would be careful on this forum or in life to wish so heavily for someone...

+1. Getting it right has to matter at some level.

Couldn't agree more. Objectively, it is probably Shack - Kloden, Levi, Lance, Horner, JB. The nice thing about this is that we are about to find out and we can allow it to be settled on the road as opposed to on a forum. Perhaps posters should get points for actually getting things correct as...
