It seems that, as many suspected, doping is so endemic in cycling that the people who *don't* use EPO are probably in the minority. LA never tested positive for EPO although many suspected that he was indeed a user. Now that we have proof that so many of the other top competitors on the TDF were/are dopers, does this cast further doubt on LA's supposed innocence? For LA's story to be true, this means he was always clean yet managed to beat a doped-up field that had a massive advantage over him from EPO use - and not beat them once, but beat them 7 TIMES consecutively. So what's the truth: was LA really so good that his natural talent, fitness and work ethic could substantially compensate for the advantage that his competitors had through EPO, or was it his natural talent, fitness and work ethic combined with EPO that brought him the 7 titles in a row? Logic says it's the latter.

What's it to you if they endanger their health and lives? Is cycling a dangerous sport? "They" always say it is dangerous on the liability release forms.

If they let the riders do whatever they want, you would soon have people dropping dead during the race. I'd like to see Phil and Paul put a positive spin on that. I think the sport would be come so grotesque at a point that the TV audience would be replaced by Jerry Springer fans.

My point was that, logically, LA must have doped because all the people he was competing against were doped-up, and it stretches logic to think that he was THAT much better in terms of fitness and talent that he could say clean and beat them even though they had an advantage of EPO use. All these new positive tests since last year and now do cast a new light on this subject imo, because know we now FOR SURE that the rest of the field that LA beat was doped-up, whereas before we suspected it but didn't know for certain. And TBH, I'm even surprised about how many are testing positive - they're getting caught, left, right and centre. PED use in cycling could be even worse than we suspected.

Actually, Lance HAS tested positive for EPO, but he can never be penalized for it as the EPO test was not in use at the time the samples were collected (1999). The lab froze his urine and tested it some years later. Well documented.

If they were all doping then what's the problem? doesn't that level the playing field? Aren't you being childish in assuming that a professional sport and professional entertainers are clean and honest? Grow up and get over it. Clean and honest should be for amateur athletes, let the pros do their job, entertain us.

Logic says he took EPO when there was no test for it which was until 3 months before the Sydney Olympics. Then he probably stopped and did something else. The French however had frozen some of his blood and done a retrospective test. They used a 2004 test on 1999 blood and got a positive test. 1999 tests on 1999 blood would have been negative. How gutted Floyd must be that LA is swanning around with pop stars and actors following Floyds help in the tour and when he gets his chance of glory he gets caught. Thats why he fights so hard....he is just pissed off. One day the beans will be spilt. Money wins the day.

Bullshit, from the Puerto files and the Cofidis files etc we know that the following riders all used EPO after the introduction af the EPO test - They just micro dosed and used EPO durring training: Michele Scarponi, Marcos Antonio Serrano, David Etxebarria, Joseba Beloki, Angel Vicioso, Isidro Nozal, Unai Osa, Jaksche Joorg, Giampaolo Caruso, Ivan Basso, Constantino Zaballa,,Carlos Zarate, Francisco Mancebo, Jan Ullrich, Oscar Sevilla, Jose Enrique Gutierrez, Jose Ignacio Gutierrez, Vicente Ballester, David Bernabeu, David Rodriguez, Jose Adrian Bonilla, Juan Gomis Lopez, Eladio Jimenez Sanchez, David Latasa, Ruben Plaza, Jose Luis Martinez, Manuel Llorent, Antonio Olmo, David Munoz, Javier Cherro, Javier Pascual, Carlos Garcia Quesada, Roberto Heras, Angel Casero, Santiago Perez, Tyler Hamilton, Igor Gonzalez Galdeano, Sergio Paulinio, Alberto Contador, Allan Davis, Santiago Bottero and Aljerado Valverde. Only a few of them ever tested positive for EPO. -- Morten Reippuert Knudsen :-) <http://blog.reippuert.dk > Merlin Works CR-3/2.5 & Campagnolo Chorus 2007.
