Lance wins that one every time. We already know he stinks like a sewer rat. He'll just brush all the stuff that comes up as "old news". How do you perform a character assasination on someone with no character?

Bauer could be right. Of course, that would mean that every other professional sport in the world is horrendously dirty. So cleanest, in a relative sense. Like if you spend all day submerged in sewage with 9 guys, and you climbed out and wiped your face with a towel, you'd be cleaner than the...

Look at NHL hockey's doping policy if you really want a laugh.

To be fair to Ferrari, that's not actually what he said. Also, to be fair, Ferrari lies like a mother****ing rug in the question right before, where he says he doesn't prescribe it and it doesn't fundamentally change the performance of a racer. Paging Mr. Hincapie to the white courtesy...

I'd rather be Lance, but in his shoes I'd also be smart enough to take up residence in a country that didn't have an extradition treaty with the USA and then pull a Riis in another few years. I don't think Mr. Armstrong's ego will allow him to do that, however. edit: Lance has a good future...

There is, as far as I know, one openly gay professional athlete in a team sport-and that's Gareth Thomas. Check out that SI article I linked to earlier, it's a great read. Hopefully, as a pathfinder he becomes an inspiration to people in the same situation, but he had to travel down the same...

If you get a chance to catch it, HBO did a segment on Real Sports about Gareth Thomas that was really great. Here's an SI story on him: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1168953/index.htm Sounds like Obree went through the same inner torment.

I'm from Canada, so I'm aware of that. The talent pool might be bigger than you think though-how many guys play Junior? If you're looking at being a 4th liner in the WHL with zero chance at an NHL or AHL shot, maybe you take a flyer on cycling if you have the motor? Bauer ought to be able to...

I'd think that many Canadians would consider cycling to be a doping sport, along with track and field. They'd also deny that hockey has a doping problem, which is a laughable assertion. Sure, no one tests positive, but they don't test during the off season or the playoffs, and the regular season...
