Knowing that his issue in France could be quite serious, and knowing that should the rumors of his doping practices be true, he becomes more likely to be caught the longer he is exposed to a system out to catch him, either by test or by other issue. Should it be a tragic final chapter, will you concede you were wrong?
Colm.Murphy, I do not think those are "rumours" about doping lol.
I think they are proven facts lol again.
But that said, and what I take issue with, is the Myth that the "Doping Transformed Lance into a 7 Time TdF Winner".
No, it did not. Doping can not do THAT type of transformation.
Yes, doping will make you ride faster.
Yes, doping wiil turn Donkeys into Thoroughbreds.
But no, doping will NOT transform a rider into a 7 Time TdF Winner.
It is a Myth.
Lance's doping was but ONE arrow in his Quiver of Awesomeness.
I argue that it is not the most important arrow let alone the ONLY arrow.
Too many Lazy riders use the excuse of the Myth to cut corners and try for an easier way to win. They do not train train train. They do not do ALL the other things Lance has done to become a TdF Champ. If they do ALL those things, then maybe they too can think about cheating.
If you don't weigh yer meat, you can't have any "pudding".
How can you have any "pudding" if you don't weigh yer meat?
