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

meh, if Ryder is hiding behind the SOL going after Indurain is pointless. At least he kept quiet. And he rode cool bikes and rode in awesome kit so all win.

If they were really trying to wind up Lance they should have dedicated a stage to Lemond.

The SoL is laughable really. Just tailor your doping admission to put yourself outside it, say you only tried it once, or for one season, and saw the error of your ways and you're golden. Indurain was mid pack fodder until he went to the doctor, but he's Spanish, a nice guy and had awesome kit so there'll be no witch hunt, it's the Lance lie that really needed exposing. Indurain's trangressions can be filed next to Anquetil, Simpson, Kelly, Merckx, Hinault et al.

Although the problem with that is the drugs they took weren't turbo chargers and they were all top cyclists without it. Just been reading Davud Walsh defending Kelly's doping, saying he was a proper cycling hard man, and he would have won anyway. Is that the criteria, if you have natural talent it's not so bad? EPO transformed Lance and Indurain from domestiques to dominant. But that is a little bit anecdotal of course.

BTW haz som rep for the Lemond remark
