Unfortunately, we have reached a point where all are guilty of something. The players for the use of things, owners or organizations to look the other way, the sponsors for the use of these players to fatten their line background. In fact, money is the common factor in everything. The players do to get better statistics and to obtain lucrative contracts (not to mention the Hall of Fame time). The owners and organizations to do it because people will buy tickets to see these players. Sponsors do so because comsumers buy their products. I'm sure there are more examples if I thought a little more. It just goes on and on and on …. Sorry to say that the only way I see attitudes change over the use of these drugs is that someone dies on the pitch on national television. That's a real sad commentary on today's athletes. There was someone using something with ephedra in it who died in training camp a few years ago. Right after, all that was out of the shelves. I think I read recently a judge overturned the ruling had any involvement in the death players. I have not heard if things off the shelves again however.

For eight years, the Tour de France, arguably the worldâs most demanding athletic competition, was ruled by two men: Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis. On the surface, they were feature players in one of the great sporting stories of the ageâAmerican riders overcoming tremendous odds to dominate a sport that held little previous interest for their countrymen.

I am not an expert in cycling, but I am amazed at Lance Armstrong – is a legend because of the seven (count 7) tour France wins, after battling testicular cancer. But there are so many cynics of his, and cycling as a sport that say the measures of handling and blood doping and that the results can not be trusted because half the competitors are on drugs. Do you think Armstrong was legitimate-a monster with levels naturally high resistance or just another drug cheat?
Armstrong probably was clean, but her illness was reduced to the point where he could recover and reach the perfect setting for a cyclist – other drivers can not do something. She was about to waste away in the chemo. " He lost his upper body strength he had developed through years of swimming and triathlete competetion as a child, then recovered and developed in his legs and heart by the use of steroids were allowed by the UCI because of his illness – other drivers would be banned. Having said that, he had a natural gift. big heart, lungs, and a natural ability to make against lactic acid. His VO2 natural that they have put up there with the best, but not the elite. In my opinion he is the best Tour rider of all time but not the best cyclist of all time – has specialized in the Tour, focusing their training to her alone, instead Mercx and have won five Tours + countless classics one day and other stage races.

I think the whole scandal of the alleged drug or drugs from the Tour de France damage to the sport and people see
on TV? I think I will find Europeans never give credit where credit is due …… as an independent who had chemotherapy and cancer medicines that may have helped him, but he's cheating. I never see again and what about you and I'm glad you agree mate
I will not see it. I no longer trust the Europeans or who test either drug. I do not think Landis is Quilty and lost the title. something stinks and I think the smell is coming from France. / MR, I agree. How could Americans win when so many European corridors. the odds do not seem right, but look what happened anyway.there 's so much money involved that bribery or treason some kind could take place, in my humble opinion.
