I preface this post by saying I believe Lance Armstrong 100% doped like every other top rider throughout the 90's and possibly even to this day. With that said, you, Mr. Millar, are a hypocrit! You have the nerve to say today that if Lance Armstrong doped his actions should be "unforgiveable". I laugh at you. You doped, still never won anything significant outside of a few cheap World TT championships when nobody else showed up, went down in disgrace when you got CAUGHT by the French police, served your suspension and came back where you were welcomed by the peloton, fans and the media. Then you write a book to make money on how you doped. You achieved forgiveness and fortune then say LA shouldn't be forgiven? Lance meanwhile, true to his competitive nature and pride will never admit he doped, why should he? Everyone else doped too, he won fair and square. Maybe traveling the world to raise millions and millions of dollars for cancer research isn't enough for you. Maybe Lance inspiring millions of people to Live Strong isn't enough for you. What have you ever done other than sell a book for monetary gain to help society? Mr. Millar you should be ashamed of yourself and you should choose your words carefully on whom you speak against. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Oh, by the way, win something already, you're overrated as a bicycle racer.
I became addicted to this sport because of lance.
I enjoyed every single attack he made, I enjoyed watching the others suffer when they tried to stay with him. lance was supreme.
If he doped as much as the others, I agree 100% with you in that regard. Also, he didn't raise millions just for the cancer, he also raised millions for his own pockets. however, that has nothing to do with his performance am I am not in this forum to condemn those kinds of options. I am here to condemn those who cheat when racing.
By those who cheat, I do not mean those that used epo in the epo era but those who had an unfairly advantage and lance had big one, just like merckx.
Special treatment, most likely a special drug(it isn't proved, I know), an equally unfair advantage in his totally doped team (advantages coming from special treatment by the uci and doctors as well) etc. endless list.
facts are coming up. you know them. however here is your dogma,
do you really give a damn about them?do you really want to wake up? or are you going to believe he won fair and square? what are you going to say?

about millar,
I am no hypocrite. I really don't see what his moral is to speak like that against doping
IF he was riding against clean riders
OR against a field with the same level regarding medicine's help. however, like I said early it wasn't fair and square with armstrong.
No matter what happens, I will see those that condemn the likes of armstrong but adore those like merckx as pure hypocrites. that's for sure.
but I condemn both.
(how can millar be overrated? he is a gret TTer, with the qualities of a great TTer. he is in the second line (with others like martin) just behind fabian.)
