Firstly, he is the most tested athlete in the world bar none. Secondly, no-one has proof that he does, he's even independently tested to prove it. Thirdly, he's stared death in the face with cancer, do you honestly believe that he would risk the adulation of millions around the world to shorten his life by using EPO/blood transfusions? Seriously....

Lance - what a total champion....and if it was proven in 2005 that he used epo in 1999, how come nothing happened? This "assumption of guilty until proven innocence" is pathetic...doubters can continue to doubt...Lance is a hell lot stronger than they are...

No question in my mind - performance enhancing drug user.

@farneyblakeley well fuck you

[smallpotatoes989]

I use to belive he was clean.but so many teammates have told he cheated

[sleepyhead7391]

one thing in lance's favor is that he never really went all out in any race other than the tour. any other race he entered in was to build up to the tour. so he was only in his superhuman form for the month of july. most of the other riders who are accused of doping also tried to win the tour of italy or the tour of spain. just my two cents

[farneyblakeley]

to me he acts guilty in public. he doesn't act like an innocent man, but like a very proud guilty man who hasn't been caught. He probably worked harder than anyone else to win those tours, he probably also was using banned substances

Let's just leave it at this -You can blame anyone for anything you want- The hard thing is to prove it, and no one will ever prove Lance to be doping because he doesn't dope!!!!!!!

@trakomako 500 tests say no....1 already disgraced doper says yes...I m going with the tests

@x0einstein0x My German, I am English, is not as good as your English. However, instead of fact swapping, why dont we wait for real evidence. 60 Minutes is a tabloid TV show, interested in ratings. Nothing has been proved against Lance. He denies using PED s. Captured doped cyclists are hardly credible witnesses. Armstrongs training schedule was gruelling. He climbed L Alpe d Huez 5 times on a training day. It took me 2 hours and i was dying. He has passed US and UCI tests. Are they all wrong?

@ThePierre58 There is no caffeine mark, as u can see on the WADA website.

Did u ever read an interview with Verbruggen or McQuaid? It's frightningly obvious from their statements that they don't care about doping. U must be really naive not to see that basically the whole of professional cycling is a scam, including Lance Armstrong.

But I won't be giving you lectures. It's all on the web. There's heaps of information on the German website cycling4fans.de, in case you speak German.
