straydog said:Hugh J...I am sure if you email Willy and Rudy they will be able to provide you with plenty of info on the amount of juice Ullrich liked with his pie....more/as much/less?....are we really going to prove that here?
He was a teen prodigy....like others....and he also served his team leader, Mr 60% very ably in 97 at the tour....on that famously dope free German Team....but it was only in 99 that it all went really bad
....then i say why did he lose by 6 minutes on average to him from 2000-05....Well, you maybe under no allusion about his doping but, just maybe, you are about his notorious fondess for a bratwurst and and those party size beer jugs in the off season which just might have contributed
Lance Armstrong killed cycling stone dead in 1999....Armstrong apologists are the people who are holding this sport back and keeping it in the stone age.....Hey if it died in 99 what the a*rse have we all been watching since then?...LA didn't invent EPO or doping and didn't even revolutionise it's use....and if this is the stone age then I actually wonder if you own a TV
Okay so i went over with the top with my previous post however Armstrong caused cycling damage by his refusal to speak out against doping and by continuing with a doping regime when their was a great oppurtunity to make a clear break.
Indeed his love of partying and the fact he was overweight and undertrained suggests that he had an exceptional talent which he squandered and yet was still able to be the 2nd best cyclist in the world.
