Why should you feel the need to warn 'newcomers'?Preemo said:I'm a long time lurker, been reading these forums for a couple of years.
..<snipped for brevity>.... but my default position remains innocent until proven guilty.
I hoping this can become a sticky to warn newcomers.
I am hoping the anti-Lance haters don't descend on this thread and destroy what I am trying to do.

What are you trying to do?
You site Wiklipedia as having a "neutral view with some degree of editorial standard".
I just checked his page and did a quick check on the V02 max figures it presents: the 'sources' used are clips from magazines, and do not show where these figures came from.
"Armstrong has recorded an aerobic capacity of 83.8 mL/kg/min (VO2 max),[32][33] -
[32]is from a 'RunnersWorld' article
Armstrong knows his max VO2, too. His longtime friend, confidante, and coach, Chris Carmichael, has had his star pupil tested on several occasions. In one, Armstrong jackhammered oxygen into his legs at the astonishing rate of 83 millimeters per kilogram per minute.
[33]is from table of athletes which includes Lance ........ there is no mention of how these figures were attained (maybe from wiki
