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

I really want to see the case that the USAD brings to the table. At the moment everyone one is jumping to he did this and he did that. We havent seen the evidance yet.

You will.

While I am sure he is a bit of a prick (as are quite a lot of driven people) and probably took drugs, I am not sure he is quite the criminal mastermind he is made out to be.

Only Tommy thinks he's a mastermind. Most people have the opportunity to be deceitful in their jobs for more money or glory but choose not to (because they're not pricks).

If the USAD proves he was in fact trying to take over the wold then there is a great hollowed out volcano in Auckland waiting to be used for a lair (he can also offer a good lifestyle to prospective minions, not to mention some great riding).

Where's the ambition? Lance would go for at least a full invasion of the North Shore where he'd cycle his Trek along the seafront signing children's foreheads and mother's breasts. There would be lots of Livestrong billboards featuring the leader's face and the wearing of wristbands would be compulsory. The wearing of yellow would be encouraged.

The volcano island Rangitoto would be a prison for Floyd Landis to wander, eating birds eggs and cutting his feet on the sharp black rocks.

Also, the stripping of the tour titles dosent seem right to me. If that happens then they could start retrospectivly stripping titles all the way back when. Like Coppi said, 'I only dope when I need to' when is that? 'most of the time'. Lance wasnt the first to win the tour while off his chops.....

The podiums were full of dopers so it's not hugely important who Wikipedia says won what, so long as some truths are learnt and there's some accountability.
