    like i said n my post in the other thread...he may think this is going to go away just because he has chosen to suspend his fight. lol...this is just getting started for lance.

    i hope he can keep his head and not go the route of marco. that was so sad.

    we need to take away EVERY cycling champion for the last... say 30 years, every Mr. Universe champion, ever, every baseball player who was even rumored to have used.

    The way the sport is run, everybody "cheats" so it is a level field.

    The problem is the bypass of the rule of law... innocent until proven guilty isn't what happened with Lance, it is You are guilty unless you can prove your innocence.

    and we are trying one by one, many have lost their titles and suspended, several Olympians have had to return their medals.

    Lance was not guilty until proven innocent, he's the one that gave up his fight. IMHO because the evidence and testimony would have proved no doubt to the rest of the public. The way he went out might have been his best option so the idiot public still holds some reasonable doubt.

    It was probably the best way for him to keep whatever is left of his endorsements.

    Did Lance ever fail a drug test?

    true that Lance was never disqualified from a race because of drug test, unless you now count USDA removing Lance's titles.

    he failed several during the race that he was able to appeal or the UCI decided not to take action. the real gotcha is current testing of old samples as the current technology is now better than the old cheats. The old cheats use to be better than the old tests. might be another reason Lance decided to take this out.

    here is good interview of Tyler Hamilton, I haven't read his book yet.

    Thx. Sounds like everyone was "cheating". Did they have replacement drug testers ala the nfl's replacement refs? Lol
