    Ben Foster doped....to play Lance.

    As it is common, maybe we should start a thread, "Doping in the Movies"? Usually it's to achieve "the look", not to get into...umm...character? :p The story: here Apologies if the story is here somewhere, I couldn't find it.

    Forgive me if I misunderstood your post but http://www.cyclingtorrents.nl has all of the one day classics and in the language of your choice. I figured at 2,000 plus posts that you may have read about them before. They do like you to "share" though and if that is problematic for you then I can...
