He's not even tired at the end of the stage, he could've cycled all day, what a shame...

[molyneux1000]

Thanks for posting this. Great watch!

EPOWER!

If you think the drugs did this, the same drugs everyone else used you'd be wrong. Watch this if you want to know how he did it. justin.tv/fearlesstv/b/2917972­10

he did what everybody else did and still does.Lance is a big fat liar- at least Floyd finally owned up to it.

@RFXCrunner I could do with a bag of blood like that right now. I'm exhausted from watching Andy Schleck and Alberto Contador making attacks in the Alps in the last couple of days!

@artysmokes A bag of blood straight into the arm will give you a big boost very quickly. That is probably where the testosterone came from too- blood is bagged during training, he was probably taking testosterone during training, instant positive test, instant pickup in performance.

one of the darkest days in the tour

4:50 "Well, they have seen or witnessed someting this afternoon, which is going to be talked about for many years in the sports of cycling, for many years in the history of the tour de france..."

so true...

They should all be allowed to dope. Look how much fun this was to watch. Then watch a stage like the one yesterday. Guys were just tired. Attacks failed, it was just weak. These are athletes and this shit is hard, let them dope.

@gpwell It was freaky, wasn't it? Other riders that give 100% on a mountain practically die as soon as they cross the line, but Landis looked like he wanted to punch someone. I'd never seen anyone so fired up AFTER a victory. Instead of relief, he was looking for another fight... and ultimately it was a legal battle that he found... and lost. Tragic really. That whole tour was ruined, because Perreira hadn't done anything worthy of a champion.

When I saw this live, I was awestruck. After losing so much time on the day before, Landis rode like a man posessed, but he also looked like he was pumped full of testosterone. I know he took drugs, but I don't think anything would give you that much of an instant boost. He was just utterly psyched.
