Ever since John Tomac accused Lance of doping years ago, I have been one who believes Lance doped. What I don't agree with is how one of our own Federal agencies and media destroyed him without the Rule of Law being followed. Lance won these titles on foreign soil, beating the competition at their own game. If France and the organization that runs the Tour want to strip him of his titles, they need to prove it, not the USADA. The only thing the USADA proved in all of this is that they were able to outlast Lance and his money with taxpayer dollars.

I DONT know Lance Armstrong, and I have NEVER raced next to him. However...

Some people tend to forget the role genetics played in Lance Armstrong’s success.

Armstrong’s heart is 33% bigger than the average man’s. This isn’t the sole reason for his performance, of course, as other racers have this condition.

He also has the low lactic acid levels, some of the lowest, if not the lowest, ever seen. Basically half the level of most people.

What does this mean, it means, he can sprint ahead and have people try and keep up, then slow down, recover in a shorter period of time than his competitors and sprint again. He does this over and over and eventually, lactic acid prevents his opponents from keeping up with him.

I don’t think doping explains 7 years of winning with so many negative tests.
