do you think Lance was doped and just did a better job of covering it up?

Probably yes, if his accusers are proved right. Anyway, the reference was only for the 1999 race. Lance's first TDF overall win.

OK, so DC has issues and needs to check his facts regarding Floyd (any single dose of Testosterone would not provide results such as what Floyd displayed)... and *in light of the Floyd situation* let's keep in mind that Floyd tested positive for nothing, just showed a high Testosterone to Epitestostorone ration (where in fact his Testosterone level was the same, just the epitestostorone levels were quite low).
That said, maybe Lance did dope, maybe he didn't. I dunno. I would tend to thing perhaps so before cancer, and not afterwards. After hearing Frankie Andeau say it and knowing Frankie was *very* hesitant to talk about it II would think perhaps Lance did indeed dope. BUT, since there is not inconclusive proof, just heresay we can not say. We should withhold judgement until proven guilty.
As a people we tend to want to jump to conclusions and are "certain" about items that we don't know much of first hand. I think we should not jump in to this fray.

Boy o Boy did the team Doctor/Trainer mess up! The Tour de France Use to be the Holly Grail of Cycling. Now it seems as if the French and the cycling federation have a bias against American cyclist's. Lance Armstrong 7 time champ gave them a black eye. American cyclists are motivated to be the best in the world and I think there should be " Tour Of America"

Nobody but cancer patients can understand the pain that the body goes thru during chemo treatments. Lance was given a second chance and took full advantage of it. Remember he was the youngest world champion at 23. He also was living,competing, and training while his body was fill with cancer. He probably wrote most of the pain off due to the level that he was train. You know how masochistic athlete's are.

Lance had legal sauce going.
Floyd I believe will be found of the same.
We are all on sauce somehow.
They are pumping so much chemicals and wack substances everyday in the things we eat.
Who knows maybe some french whacko slipped it in his food at dinner that night so he would test positive....... who knows??????
