He's not content to be a cheat; he has to be a rat­ also!

boring, no evidence , same old cra* coming up time and­ time again......until anything is proven you have to­ say the guy is innocent, just cus peolpe don't like­ L.A you think he's guilty what makes you right???­ this issue ain't gonna be solved ...forget it, the­ guy ain't gonna be racing anylonger anyhow, move on­ there's a new doper on the block to moan about­ A.C

yawn......that should start some of you off­ enjoy....:)

Well lets just assume that they have all taken­ substances right from the Eddy Merckx days - it does­ seem likely that they all have, including the god­ fearing squeaky clean Davide Rebellin for example and­ of course all Lances team mates and former team mates,­ and then we have Pantani, Ullrich, Riis, Virenque,­ Heras, Ricci, Frigo, Van Den Brook, Jiminez etc etc etc­ etc etc.
The point im trying to make is that all­ things being equal and all the riders using performance­ enhancing products, Armstrong has still been the most­ successful.

Did you read about bruyneel and armstrong dumping­ landis' blood during the tour and laughing their­ asses off? Little boys riding their bikes....

Remember L.A.s7 tours all of his team on the front­ riding hard for mile after mile,some of them were even­ allowed a stage win or two,then L.A.retired what of the­ team there after nothing ! couln't hold a race­ pace,shot out the back and no wins,then it comes out­ one after the other , dopers !

I saw Floyd driving a brand new AUDI R5 V8 in Temecula,­ CA.... so now we know what he did with all his book­ sales and defense funds.

People are convicted all the time through the testimony­ of those who get on the stand and are not perfect. ­ Undoubtedly, at Armstrong's trial, if any, Landis­ will face tough cross examination. Tell me something­ the US attorneys on the case won't be aware of and­ work to counteract.

-I agree. There is no smoke without fire. Lance­ Armstrong was asked to ,clear that had been surronding­ him, have his 1999 Tour 'de France urine samples­ re-tested. He declined. Why is it that?
-Many of his­ ex-teammates tested positive for banned substances such­ as Hamilton, Heras, Beltran, Landis. Do they use­ substances during their time in the team or not? Did­ they start to use performance enhancing drugs after­ they left the team? Their performance were outstanding­ while they were with Armstrong. So what did change­ after that when they left.
-Why did Lance Armstrong­ donate $125.000 to the UCI?
-People already testified­ under oath about Lance Armstrong's alleged doping­ practises.
These are indications??
If Novitzky­ concludes that US Postal team did run a doping­ programme, Armstrong and others could face charges.­ Through Tailwind Sports, the US Postal team was funded­ by taxpayers’ money. Let see what happens.

Tom Tom Post 67. Could you write your posts in English­ please, vee r not too plenty much werry gud­ understoodin vot u are speeking, are you a British­ Object or not?

There is no way LA could have won so many years on the­ trot without taking drugs when everyone around him was­ at it!

Sally, put your jingoistic flag aside for a moment. Are­ you certain you will still say "The only American­ cyclist­ who brought the honor of becoming .."­ once the inquiry is over? What if they prove that he­ did dope? For sure, he is still innocent as long as he­ has not be proven guilty, but where there is smoke,­ there is a fire. And there's been quite a thick­ cloud around him in the past 5 years!
I wish we had -­ and this would be feasible if ASO, the UCI, and WADA­ really wanted a clean cycling - a curve of his red­ blood cell count throughout each of his 7 Tours. This­ would be quite a good indication of what was going on­ or not during those Tours.

Floyd, please DO go into EVERY detail. I am sure that­ your stories will be just as coherent as your­ explanations about how you did NOT dope- that is until­ you changed your story. By the way Floyd, are you­ going to return that money people donated for your­ legal defense fund while you lied time and time again?­ Who can really say if you are telling the truth now?

LA NEVER doped .... in 2010. And proof is his ranking­ in 2010. The first time he rode clean. Funny to see how­ people get all heated up when someone who masterly­ played the right people gets demoted. He could easily­ have won again in 2006. But LA is no idiot, he knew he­ had to skip, they were after him. Just lie low and hope­ nobody spills the beans. LA baby knows he is in deep­ @#$% now. And that is good.

Shame on all of you people! The only American cyclist­ who brought the honor of becoming a 7 time champion is­ now being stepped on like dirt! Instead of being­ proud and glorify him for bringing the honor to our­ country as Americans, you're the first to disgrace­ him. It is an absolute outrage! You Lance haters­ couldn't have done one single thing to make your­ country proud and yet you're the ones who are­ acting like you could have done better. SHAME ON­ YOU!!!!! And all those big time lawyers who are­ trying to bring him down and strip him with all of the­ medals, they have brought themselves at the same lowest­ level as Floyd Landis, they're not after justice,­ they're after fame and money. WHAT A SHAME!!!

google "outside magazine epo deaths". ­ Armstrong was fortunate he had the $ and dr. (michele­ ferrari) to dope safely and not end up dead like loads­ of other riders.

To Mincow: Let the doping test people publish­ Armstrong's blood parameters­ throughout each of­ his "winning" Tours, it­ will be a good start­ to understand what happened and­ how he was able to­ crush the competition, even those who had a 5-10% edge­ because of doping. It will be hard to explain why his­ red blood cells shot up in the middle of the Tour!

Landis is not only a proven liar, but he's STILL­ lying -- he still claims that he was clean when he was­ busted for the 2006 Tour. Why would he claim this? ­ Because if he admits that he was doping during his­ massive comeback stage win and tour victory, then he­ would be admitting that he defrauded his supporters out­ of millions of dollars. So Landis has every motive to­ lie -- first, to avoid being sued for the millions he­ fraudulently obtained from his supporters, and second,­ to avoid being prosecuted criminally for that fraud. ­ Anyone want to bet that Landis cut a deal with­ prosecutors? You know, "If you give me a pass,­ I'll give you Armstrong." And lest we­ forget, this is the same guy who basically threatened­ Armstrong just weeks ago, saying, essentially: ­ "Get me on a team and let me ride, or I will­ destroy you," So, he's not only a liar, but­ basically a blackmailer, too -- yet this is the guy all­ the Lance haters choose to believe? Landis is a­ proven liar, and he's still lying -- so, why­ exactly, would anyone believe a word that comes out of­ his mouth? You can suspect and speculate all you want­ about Armstrong, but that doesn't make Landis a­ credible witness. The guy is liar with a revenge­ motive -- those are facts.

Armstrong is the only cyclist ever to personally donate­ $25,000 to the governing body, and shortly thereafter­ his team donated $100,000 to the UCI? Armstrong is­ also the only one to NOT test positive who stood on the­ TdF podium from 1999 to 2005. Sure, that's not­ suspicious at all!

I think Lance should be on Saturday Night Live episode.­ They can have a skit of him blood doping, that­ would be the only time anyone would ever see that! ­ Why don't we dig up old team mates of Steve­ Perfontaine and see if he was doping too! This is a­ joke who cares. Lance is truly an inspiration for all­ of America and cancer survivors! Landis is just a­ Rat! His credibility ZERO!

Two comments: First, Floyd Landis has every motive to­ "give up" Lance saying he doped because Floyd­ most undoubtedly is being investigated for fraud when­ he advertised over the internet that he had not doped­ in order to solicit funds for his defense attorney. ­ The Feds have him and they know it and he knows it. ­ So what do most guys in his position do facing prison,­ they make a deal to keep out of prison. Who is worth­ more than Landis? LA, of course. When I read the­ accusations in the WSJ and the continuing ones now, as­ a retired criminal defense attorney, I can see the­ imprint of his own attorney's attempt to make­ Landis's story ring true. It is hard for me to­ believe that Lance and his team would transfuse blood­ on a country road in France during the TdF with French­ officials wanting to catch Lance doping . It is also­ hard for me to believe Landis when he says after all­ these allegations that he saw Lance doping. Why­ didn't he say that before when he made the original­ accusations. It is also hard from me to believe­ someone who says I did not take testosterone ever, was­ found to have had extremely high levels in his blood­ test at the Tour when he won it, then say after 4 years­ thatt he had doped and now wants to come clean, but­ still will not admit to taking Testosterone. Oh, I­ forgot, he did say that Lance had given him a­ testosterone patch. With his story changng so often­ and his motive to stay out of prison, I think he has­ real motive to lie about Lance.

Point two: I have­ appreciated the posts from those bicyclists who seem to­ know about pro cycling and the doping involved even­ now. While I would like to think Lance never doped, ­ I would not be surprised if I found out that Lance had­ doped. It just seems improbable to me that he did. ­ Given everyone who got caught during Lance's time­ and after, it is hard for me to understand how he­ didn't get caught with all the testing.
