What's your opinion on the aligations against Lance Armstrong? Do you
think he really took drugs or are the French just trying to get back at
him for beating them in their own race?

I don't think he did. I think he was just reall determined after getting cancer, and busted some serious ass.

The evidence is there, you know.

What the French don't say is that their national hero (Richard Virenque) tested positive too in the '99 TDF.

It's common for the French to be mean to the Americans.

urine samples they took in '99. they initially weren't supposed for
drugtest reasons. yet they did the test. the thing is, normally you
need A and B samples, now they only had A samples (which were all
positive). so they have no legal grounds. imo most of the good ones
take some kinds of drugs, it's just a matter of being clever and not
getting caught.

there was an anti-smoking drug once, no official sources knew this, but
at a certain temperature they acted in the same way as EPO, so cyclists
took this.

anyway, im not a fan of the sport so i dont really care

He did take those drugs, he admitted that much, but it was part of his
cancer treatment... I don't think he used it as an advantage in cycling
since '99 was the only year he tested positive for it.
One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine
