Having heard both sides of the story, I think, on balance, there is a chance he may have doped, possibly. I think.

Apparently some libraries are going to move books on Lance Armstrong into the fiction section ;)
is a blight on the sport and should be punished
Isn't it strange when you think of this doping as it is so common in cycling. Take the domestiques out and just take the leaders and potential winners. I believe that they are doping because the other guy is. On Mark's list he has Ivan Basso. Was he the one that almost beat Armstrong and had that horrendous crash. If so, then my theory is that all these guys do not want to lost that edge and so they dope. The reason so many do is because of the fact that without that 2% or 5% you will be nowhere.
Miguel Indurain I feel was an enigma because of the size of his heart and lungs. He gained his 2% to 5% naturally. Who knows.
I just wonder if these guys, free of doping could win?
Doping will probably never leave cycling and other sports, it's everywhere.. Reports that Merckx was dissapointed in Lance, is bullcrap because Merckx used blooddoping and was caught 3 times but our government protected him.. Also the time when he got hit in the liver is a false statement to camouflage that he got sick of the stuff he used.. Cycling and dope will be a never ending story. I witnessed Juniors winning races here who were on dope like amfetamines (speed)..
Btw that whole Oprah thing what's for me is quite a Lance show and yes I find itself that he's a sociopath, he even said that he doesn't felt that he cheated.. But I wonder if he didn't earn something with this again..
Do you cheat if you dope in a sport where everyone else does it? It really depends on the POV.Quote:

I follow you but still it's still cheating because it's not allowed. Luckily for me this wasn't all a surprise for me, and it's like some said in Belgium the a "colored truth". It was a whole "show" nothing more to save Lance a bit.. Because in a real interview with someone who knows alot of cycling and who want to dig in very deep in this story, he would be even more damaged.. Now some people get respect for him, I'll never have the respect for him and I never had that.
Yes, you do if it's illegal. That's not a matter of point of view, but of fact.Quote:
