[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 575145, member: 6747"] First it is professional sports. Second the Europeans and especially cycling has a long history of doping. If he had to make it then he had to use drug. If you look at the people he competed against it is difficult - very difficult to find a clean rider among top 10. And we are talking the entire 7 years he won the Tour. Different names but all have later been caught cheating. In my husbands firm we had an Italian guy working there for some years. He participated in something called Gran Fondo where non-professional riders race against each other. Even many of the non-professional riders used drug when the races were held in Europe. It was about 10 years ago and it could have been changed today. But it told me that doping is so widespread in cycling that it was not something my child should be involved in. At our daughters high school we had problems enough with the soccer team. There were rumors and in the end the school decided to pull the team quietly blaming the economy to shut a possible scandal down. So I dont care whether Lance Armstrong was doped or not. I am concern with the fact that he broke up with his wife. It tells me something about his character. I hope that he is forgotten and the some of the roads which were converted into bike lanes due to his activism will be converted back because the traffic is slowed down due to the limited space.
