actually they take 15 samples and Armstrong only tested positive to about 5 of them which were taken right after he race so his numbers would be higher so it is nothing is proven for sure. he is just very talented which people have a hard time excepting.

That is not a proven fact. The French lab has generally been accepted as tainting the samples

@596 [48]:
Dude have you lost your mind…why you wanna throw salt…dont be a hater. And for the rest of you Creeps and Degenerates Bike riding is big business now and Lance is smart enough to pick the biggest event to focus on.If he can slay the competition in the TDF surely he would handily dispatch the competition in any other event. Bicycling wouldnt be where it is today without Lance Armstrong
SHOW THE LOVE………..His record and achievements speak for themselves …I know its romantic to look back to the old timers, I love them too and we must pay homage to them, but “GET REAL”

Eddy Merckx is no1 in any list of cyclists – as previously mentioned he’s 1 of only 5 ever to win all of the Grand Tours (France, Italy and Spain). But also he’s 1 of only 3 to have won each of the 5 monuments of one day racing and the only cyclist in both those lists.
Coppi as only the 3rd best Italian is a joke – imo he’s better than Hinault and deserves 2nd best of all time. To my knowledge, he’s the only rider that Merckx ever stated might’ve been better than himself.
For the record, Ullrich was only the latest in a long line of riders dubbed the ‘Eternal Second’ and to most cyclists, the Eternal Second was Raymond Poulidor. Fat Jan did squander much of his talent but didn’t achieve enough to be in the top 10. Lemond should prob take his place. And I think we can be fairly sure that Contador will soon deserve his place in the list.

You’d have to be mad if you thought you could do Le Tour without drugs, man.

But yes, these 10 men, are the supermen of our time. Absolutely *****ing insane.

Interesting fact: Competing in Le Tour knocks 10 years off your life due to the physical exertion.
