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

Of all the Armstrong guff in the press, David Walsh talking about Sestriere in 99 Tour is priceless, when the press corp were watching the stage & Armstrong takes off, everyone in the room just starts laughing. Sums it up really!

I can't remember the exact headline l'Equipe ran the next day, but it was something like 'Extraterrestrial', playing on the Armstrong name thing. I didn't catch the allusion, but this was back when l'Equipe was still prepared to question Lance's (or indeed any leading cyclist's) super-human performances. The headline writing was obliquely suggesting that Lance's ride was 'assisted'.
