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

It does seem like he is slowly being backed into a corner.

If he comes clean, it would really fuck up the history books for the results of the Tdf during the whole of the last decade. I mean, where would they stop? If they strip Lance of his title, would they just hand it to the bloke who came second? Or third? The podium was usually made of of Ullrich, Vino, Beloki, Kloden and Basso! Dodgy characters et al!

What a shit storm...

If it was a Hollywood film, they'd all come forward, along with all the teams and admit that doping was as common as pasta in pro cycling, beg for forgiveness and dance off into the sunset suitably redeemed.

Sadly, in the real world it went on and still does, even at amateur level. There is anecdotal evidence by the ambulance load to suggest it's still very much part of the practice in continental pro cycling.
