Cycling SI really want to clean is to act, would not grant amnesty to those who confess to cheating?
It's crazy that Riis has the balls to admit to doping, and has its Tour de France entitled stripped from him. Meanwhile, drug spineless as Ullrich, Armstrong, Indurain, Pantani and stay with their titles. I guess the Tour wants to send the message that you need to cheat, and do not have the integrity to win.
Amnesty would only allow confessed drug addicts to continue to compete without penalty (no suspension), but rightly, IMO must rescind their victories. LeMond has been dating? Pantani is the only on your list that was ever proven to be a junkie. Ullrich – the jury is still as far as doping, there is no real proof, however, and no evidence or even argument that was doped when he won the TDF. Indurain, no argument, no suspicion (except the LeMond), no positive evidence. Armstrong – simply by French vendatta and Canadian Dick Pound. The only indication of something bad were the experimental study carried out by the hacks LNDD eat cheese. Newsflash – the test is used to implicate Armstrong '99 tour was not accepted. Why? because the test kept giving too many false positives. The cast for proof of age, which showed armstrong clean. Cycling towarding go a long way to clean up your image if you want to get rid of that loudmouth wit and a half pounds and revoke the license LNDDs. There are plenty of other IOC qualified laboratories that do not have a cycling program against a tabloid media outlet (Le'Equippe) quidproquo obviously in agreement.
Were you surprised that Floyd Landis failed the drug test?
I was very skeptical when I learned that Landis undercover six minutes to 17 Stage and won the Tour de France. although not impossible, but it is highly unlikely.
Yes, of course! Landis I had no idea at all. I was glad of his victory. Floyd that is known to all, his partners and competitors before the start of Stage 17, which would go for it on that stretch of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to Morzine-Avoriaz. He had to give orders in himself the chance to win in Paris. His main rivals were let go thinking I was crazy to attack so early in the stage. By the way, Oscar Pereiro, who finished second in the overall standings, made up about 30 minutes during the stage 13 to take the yellow jersey. There is no evidence that she was doping during the Tour. Therefore, although it is surprising Floyd finished 7'08 "ahead of Pereiro, it was impossible to believe.
