who was the guy that said the only reason he got nailed for EPO was because he for got to drink enough water after his last dose? strict controls are not the same as effective controls

one of the biggest repercussions would come from the $5 million lawsuit LA filed against some ins. company (SCA?), perjury, etc.

it's obvious there was someone on the grassy knoll

I'm no fan of LA, I just used him as an example of how someone could have tested clean for so long, to point out that testing is will not end doping. the 6 positive samples from 1999 was good enough for me.

team managements should be subject to lifetime bans too

just what makes you think that I changed my mind? I still don't like doping, it's not OK, but now I understand riders have to do it, rather than chose to do it, that's why i used the word "pragmatic", I see LA get tested over and over, and no positives, then I read how easy it is to...

I used to despise the riders who were caught using PED's, and I used to think LA raced clean, but now I am pragmatic about it. If you race for a pro team and if you are a 1st tier rider, you have to take PED's if you want to be competitive and keep your job. I only blame the very first riders...

Currently I ride a 59.5x59.5 (c-c) 11 cm stem and 11 cm setback,(for KOPS) and I'm 6' 2", 36" inseam, 67cm trunk. the calculator offers 3 fit styles, and the TT ranges from 56cm...

i guess greg new what was coming, i would not be surprised if radioshack is pulled

if I had the last few years of my career ruined by drug cheats, I would be bitter, really bitter

I think Frei pretty well explained how to beat the tests, and lance really didn't beat the '99 TdF tests, did he, except on technicalities

if lance gets to france, he will have so much blood drawn by the various agencies that he won't be able to turn a pedal.

"By the start of the Tour, I would typically have had 70 to 80 days of racing in that year." what else needs to be said?

of course his training camps are BYOB
