a 2h05 marathon requires 8 wks recovery time just to start training hard again. and even then, elite marathoners at best are able to run 2 marathons in one year at that level. And EVEN THEN, they can't even hold that level for 2 years in a row. recovery in cycling is totally different game...

ˆˆ^this i've been saying the same for a while. I'm sick of the anti-fan-fanboys pinning everything that's wrong on cycling on LAnce. he cheated, he lied, and he finally got caught. good riddance. BUT, a new lance WILL start crushing every race, maybe he's already here, and it's sad that...

that must be why most of the world buys stock in the Luxemburg stock market, emigrate to Lux in search of the great luxemburguese dream, go study in Lux universities, etc etc etc

south park's on lance haha

100% agree; bringing down lance/ferrari/bruyneel & co is a great first step. but i don't agree the lance conspiracy (ferrari, bruyneel, del moral, etc) bullied and out maneuvered all the other poor innocent cyclists who were all trying to ride clean. I think the field was already pretty far...

the point is not if lemond doped, everything might strongly suggest he didn't. Just as everything strongly suggest armstrong did. the point is avoid both extremes; almighty saintly angels (greg) AND all knowing evil masterminds (lance). they're both very like not to be either.

i'm 99.99% certain lance doped throughout his cycling career exactly the way USADA says. i still don't think he doped in the late 80s early 90s just because it was less available, he wouldn't have had the resources at 15-18 y-old. the fact he turned into possibly the most hard core doper...

dude, get it over it, i HATE lance. I raced with him when he was 15-18 in triathlons. don't think he doped then and that he had huge talent/potential. the fact that was (is) a BIG TIME ***/pedantic a**hole who I absolutely hated as a human being doesn't change that. since 1999 i knew he was...

dude, you could make a much better case without the ad hominem attacks.. I'm not, by far, defending Armstrong, he is guilty of all that he's charged for. no doubt, and his downfall is 100% deserved. No surprise there, anyone seriously following cycling had to suspect LA doped at least since...

no at all, i'm not arguing that benotti69 is right or wrong, or his facts on previous posts. that's all irrelevant to the issues roadfreak lists about lemond. (before you attack about being pro lancearmstrong, i believe he deserves everything he's getting) still, it seems very...

instead of attacking the messenger (a la armstrong) why don't you address the issues raised by roadfreak? being lemond's fanboy does take you to the same level as an LA one..
