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

"all of us in the peloton are in his debt"
"he opened up the sport to a much wider audience and taken cycling around the world"
"no way I would be earning the money I am today without Lance's overall influence on the sport"
"Without Lance, the Tour was in serious trouble"
"he was willing to drive himself harder and suffer more than anyone else"
"he was simply a better all-rounder than anybody else of his era"

Which goes to show why the UCI and the Peloton did/said nowt.
'Don't spit in the soup, we all gotta eat'
