I don't think anyone would argue against a topic on Tom Simpson, or Pantani - public figures, known dopers who died directly from drugs, one way or the other it's a hell of a leap, like it or not, from there to indulging the conspiracies around Gonzales, for which there is literally nothing but conjecture.Fearless Greg Lemond said:I agree with you, open a new topic for it nevertheless. Just for the ones with a soft heart...
And for what it's worth, I can certainly see Simpson, and Pantani, as tragic figures to be remembered, if only as a warning. After all, they paid the ultimate price for their wrongdoings.
But not heroic ones, to be feted. Cheats aren't heroic.
