God invented roids, prochargers, turbos and nitrous for a reason

Lance's legacy will be Livestrong and what his foundation has done for cancer awareness and victims. This is first and foremost more important than the 7 wins. As for not pursuing the issue any further being an "admission of guilt" that's bullshit. Someone needs to slap the guy that stated that in the media. Probably from France. Lol

The blood doping,, its not a drug if its all natural from the body. So why is it looked down on? Same thing as working out in the weight room....

Another dumb media thing to strip somebody of all they have done.
Reminds me why i like living in the middle of nowhere and keeping to myself

When it comes to anything like sports, competition, one will try to be the top dawg. I think they should be allowed to do what ever in order to be better or the best at what they do. However it is kinda unfair to the NATURAL ones out there that compete in the same thing..

You just cant stop it though. Just like body building. I can pick out every natural guy in the gym I go to as well as every single juicer. The body builders do have natural competitions. Look at Victor costa if you want to see a natural one. Guys biceps are amazing.. Make me look like a pudgy fat kid. LOL

They should just race their bikes in high altitude, and then nobody could be accused of blood doping.

The tour of France goes into some relatively high mountains. The tour of colorado is for the climbers. They usually come over well ahead of the race in order to acclimatize themselves.

If training in high altitude gives such a great athletic advantage, then the Denver Broncos should be the best team in the NFL.....

Case dismissed.
