Doper uber alles.

Would you say the same about Contador? Ulrich? Pantani? Landis? Hamilton? Wiggins? Froome? Even Mercxx?

Spare me the sanctimony. Armstrong was a jerk. Still is. But he won those titles against riders who were doping long before him.

Relax. It was just a joke based on the “Uber” thing. I don’t follow cycling or actually have an opinion on Lance.

Lance was the best of a bad bunch. He’s had a major step back . I do believe he will make a come back his ego is too big. And the article was throwing around numbers like $3 billion.

This. I dipped my toe into Cycling many years back, and found that out, everyone at the top level is doing it. So yeah, he was still one of the all time greatest, he doped, and beat fellow dopers.

I like how the Tour organizers have just left those years vacant rather than say the 2nd place rider is now the winner. Because 2nd place also got caught doping. And 3rd. And 4th. Until you get to the guy so far back they didn't bother testing him.
