@ the tour of cali clean team shacks will give out yellow bracelets to everyone to help kill cancer. It is just a little thing but when billions of these things are worn it helps reduce your risk of getting cancer.

Transforming a person who can't climb or TT and mold him into a 7 Time Tour de France winner is even MORE miraculous than the cancer cure.
Screw Gene Doping - Dr Ferrari has discovered the Cycling Holy Grail.
Will this "Miracle Transformation Program" work for other one-day-racers too?
Does it ONLY work for one day racers who can not climb or TT well?
Now for a Cycling Fan to believe the Myth that "Doping Transformed Lance into a 7 Time TdF winner" is one thing. Sure it can lead to crushed and broken dreams for some ex-fanboys or an obsessive dislike for Lance that leads to missionary level zeal in others - but all in all its mostly harmless.
But it is quite another thing for a talented young rider to believe that Myth.
Hopefully they are wise enough to know what it REALLY takes to become a True Champion in this day and age. Doping = Fail.
Even if Armstrong emerged naturally as a GT rider after cancer, he never would have won - and never did win - any of those 7 Tours without doping. So yes, Ferrari and doping did help to "transform" Lance into a 7-time Tour winner, ie Armstrong wouldn't have won any of those Tours without Ferrari and EPO/transfusions.Polish said:Do you believe in miracles Nick777?

But to be fair, no clean rider would have won a Tour during those years.
Ripper said:I am just writing to say I am done. In this forum, there are so many haters, and Lance has always been about the good fight. I just don't believe that people can hate so much of someone who is so good, so this will be my last post ever!
If you hate Lance, then you love cancer, it is just that simple. He has done more for world poverty than any other cyclist. He has helped more people with PD than anyone else in the whole wide world. His message has personally helped me to stop smoking.
So this is my last post. Lance has just demonstrated that if you believe, you CAN achieve. I hope you all recover from your intense hate and can see the wonderful world in which we live.
Ripper ... out
: D
Never said winning = doping, there are lots of races where I can believe that a clean rider might win, just not in a 3-week GT against rivals who are doping. Let alone for a clean rider to win 7 Tours in a row by an average of 3-4 minutes or so per Tour against a field of rivals all of whom are dopers.Laszlo said:So you say.... we know by his own admission Riis doped in 96, and therefore we can conclude he did so again in 97- but where did he place ? I believe Zulle and Jaja admitted doping too and never won the tdf. Floyd was busted for testosterone, not epo. Your statement is absolute proof of nothing- but to be fair, it cannot be disproven either; winning does not equal doping and vice versa; it is not proof, just a squiggle on a page.
dickwrench said:Amen, brother. I question why I get this account after lurking here for so long of a time. Lance has spread a messege of hope to millions around the world and pack of jealousy in this forum pokes fun becuase they don't have faith that some people can be bigger than their life.
What is PD? I have heard of VD but not this. I doubt if Lance has VD because the women is has been with are hot.
And, some constructive criticism here but I do think you exagerate on what Lance has power to do. This is the first I have read about the fight against world poverty and I haven't seen his anti smoking message. Good for you though you were able to feel his message of hope from his anti-cancer campaign and use it to make yourself better in your personal fight againt smoking.
As a new forum member maybe my pleas have no wieght but I hope you can reconsider your ban from the forum. Remember Jesus had haters to and in the end he got scoreboard because he wouldn't put up with anybody's crap by backing down from his belief or fight. Stand with Lance and all of his followers and don't let them win.
I leave you with a quote from Lance that will do good like he did for your smoking campaign.
"Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.”
Word.
Don't let them make you quit ripper. Peace.
Only one rider wins, so only one of dopers can win !Laszlo said:So you say.... we know by his own admission Riis doped in 96, and therefore we can conclude he did so again in 97- but where did he place ?

You've got to be kidding, No?
Lance is Jesus?
dickwrench said:Did I say that? Not reading things properly and comprehending is not an excuse that should be used when attacking.
No I said even Jesus had haters but that didn't stop his cause and I was trying to give ripper motivation for not quitting in the face of this Lance persecution. My heart is in the rigth place here and ripper may have been a valuable piece of this forum with his belief in Lance. If we all think the same then it gets boring and I applaud the vigorous debate on the forum as long as it doesn't get personal like this aggressive bikecentric on the other thread.

The real question is : is it possible for clean riders to beat regularly the blood doped riders?
BTW, testosterone doping never explained the blood values of Landis, EPO or blood transfusion can explain why he had such hematocrit values.

Put it another way: there's not a chance in hell that Armstrong (or any rider) would've beaten all of his doping rivals by multiple minutes over a brutal 3-week race 7 years in a row. Zero. Zip.
So yes, again, doping did "transform" Armstrong into a 7-time Tour winner, in that he would never have won a Tour without Ferrari/EPO/transfusions/whatever regimen he was using, so long as everyone else was doping as well.
Who knows, Armstrong might have been able to win 7 Tours clean against a clean field, but he did not win 7 Tours clean against a doping field.
