I am not supporting my argument on statistics alone, but on confessions of ex dopers of how much doping helped them. Well, dopers and "clean" riders such as Lemond.
Problem is Ahab, you haven't provided ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE, STATISTICS, PROOF, NADA to back up ANYTHING you keep going on about.
Do you even read what you post, or do you have serious reading comprehension problems, and a slight case of mental retardation? You've been asked by no less than a half a dozen people to provide ANY such "proof/evidence" that "Lemond doped too", and you have yet to provide it, what is your hold up?
I've also asked you(on no less than 4 occasions) to please provide ANY credible proof that Hinault was doping too as you've shouted from the rooftops here, and yet you've failed to do so.
You then,(and I had to laugh when reading it) tried to deflect any sort of credibility you've had up to this point, by asking for someone else to provide information on something, you can't seem to provide information on either yourself. Just so we're clear.
I don't "get" why it's so difficult for you to keep blabbering on about something, you have no first hand knowledge of, nor provided any proof of.
I've asked you(now for the 3rd time) to please provide ANY credible proof you were actually a pro rider yourself, since you went off about being one in some other thread, can you please provide: dates/times/specifics,stats/etc for your time as a racer. Can you also please provide any first hand knowledge of ANY interactions you, your dog, or goldfish have had with Lemond?
He said, and I repeat it for the upteen time, that using steroids would help TREMENDOUSLY in a three week race.
Ironic, since we'[ve asked you 'for the umpteenth time" to please provide any credible "Lemond doped too" info, and you've failed from the getgo to do so, so why would you expect anyone here to take even 1 thing you've said to be the least bit credible?
Now you explain to me how you can beat elite cyclists being helped tremendously just by one of the substances that made their staple diet. And curiously enough Lemond evaluation coincides fully with that of ex dopers.
And YOU please explain how you've come to this conclusion? please provide stats/dates/times/scientific evidenc e backing up your claim?
The myth that before EPO doping was something you could do without is just that, a myth. And let's not forget about blood transfusions, which I would be very surprised if it did not hit the peloton when track cyclists and even footballers were at it.
AGAIN Corky, please provide said proof any of which you're saying here, is the least bit factual?
And how did Lemond win in 1990? Not EPO by then? Another miracle. Cyclist lagging 3 years from other endurance sports.
AGAIN, please provide said proof to back up your claims...or, as another poster mentioned :STFU and STOP POSTING.
YOU keep burying yourself the second you open your trap and spew out this nonsense. You have ZERO credibility here. I'm amazed people still even pay the least bit attention to you.
