LANCE: SECRET performance enhancing surgery

[The GCW]

Forget about doping, there's performance enhancing surgery.

Lance is reported to have "underwent a radical, secret surgery to alter his physique to help cheat the wind."

For about 10 years I have suspected Lance came out of His cancer recovery with secret medical procedures to do similar things.

The question is: is lance not only "cheating the wind" but in fact cheating His competition and the sport?

Whatever happened to competing naturally? Disheartening to say the least.

Do you think this is an April Fools Day joke?

Oh, gosh, would CN do something like that?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Can CN be banned from CN for making defamatory posts?

The thing about it is, it really isn't that funny.

April Fools stuff ceased being funny on the net a long time ago. It is so overdone. Instead of encountering one or two good ones during the day, every site on the web feels they need to do half a dozen lame ones.

Even Youtube's upside down pages are just annoying.

Agreed...however, there were a couple of good ones today re: LA. Just enough of a whiff of realism to get the ahters fired up in a frenzy. See VN's article about LA focusing on his sprint to gain time in the upcoming GT's. Some of the haters jumped all over that one; hook, line and sinker.

Sure its is, its pretty damn funny.

Didn't LA streamline another part of his anatomy through surgery back in '98?

Also how about cutting your ears off to save weight...anything helps on those big climbs

Actually I have heard reports that there is some kind of gene or dna therapy that results in about a 1/3 increase in strength and endurance. However, you also become more aggressive and eat more. It was successful in mice sometime back. Perhaps it could be useful in overcoming cancer?

I read that Bontrager played the biggest part by rushing to market a new high tech. product used in his surgery that guarantees by design a faster Lance.
