Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

He's hardly Eros Poli, eh? Now that was an ascent of Ventoux worth remembering. ;)

I was there! I have photos! Though sadly did not get any when, a while later, Neil Stephens and (I think) Raul Alcala had a fist fight. It was 40 degrees on the Ventoux and they had the energy to trade blows. Don't tell me the drugs don't work.

@ wingedangel. dude where to start?

if lance was a shelf stacker then maybe it wouldn't have been sucha big deal but he is an elite sportman and returning from a debilitating life threatening disease has to have an affect on performance. besides you've got to be pretty heartless not to see even a tiny bit of a life affirming story in the whole returns to win tour episode.

Well, Clint, you could start by acknowledging LeMond's comeback from a near-fatal shooting? Or is recovering from a shot-gun blast and returning to win the tour not life-affirming enough for you? :)
