you could say the same about Marion Jones. Then she eventually admitted that she had been cheating.

Absolutly true. Lance Armstrong has been, and always wil be a hero to me. Probley makes me a little bias but so what.

Lance Armstrong's statement. Makes a god read.

If all of Armstrong's tours were awarded to the best-classified riders who had never been involved in any doping scheme that we know about, the list would look like this:

1999 Olano (6th)
2000 Nardello (10th)
2001 Kivilev (4th)
2002 Sastre (10th)
2003 Zubeldia (5th)
2004 Sastre (8th)
2005 Evans (7th)

I must humbly tender my apology.

I see skies of blue; clouds of white,
The bright blessed days; the dark sacred night,
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

It all makes sense, how could he have written this truthfully unless he'd seen all of the "wonderful world" at once.

Two wins for Sastre, not bad!

Nothing has changed since then they still are.

Maybe they are maybe they aren't. We know they are going slower so perhaps they aren't doping, perhaps they are doping less.

Since the introduction of biological passports it's harder to dope and get away with it. Having read Team Sky's: Sky's the limit book it was stated that various riders biological passports were analysed and Team Sky came to the conclusion that some riders were doping and immediately ruled them out as potential riders. Team Sky have also made the decision to never employ anyone who had been found guilty of doping offences.

I went cycling with Bradley Wiggins on a route he uses for training a few days ago. It was one of the hardest physical challenges that I've put myself though. I'm not saying I condone doping but I can see why some are driven to dope.

Maybe you should take all the drugs and try the ride again, for comparison?
