Over 1000 documents have now been released on Lance Armstrong's doping.
I always enjoyed watching him compete in the Tour de France and always beleived he was clean. So it is sad to see such overwhelming evidence that he cheated, including paying off officials with $100,000 in 2001 when he failed an EPO test!

I am still finding this rather sad and hard to believe. I loved Lance's whole story and enjoyed watching him destroy the rest of the field. He is out spoken and not liked by all sorts..
He had drugs tests years ago, before, after races... why not find drugs in his system then? They had the equipment in 1988 to find enhancing drugs so why not in 1999, 2000, 2001 etc?

smells of bad eggs to me
nobody else found drugs only the yanks

Apparently the tests at that time were very easy to fool, like diluting the blood with a saline drip before giving a blood sample and also they did not have minders, following you everywhere before you gave a urine sample. :o :o :o :o

My take on it is that all of them were doing it so it produced a level playing field, so really the result would still be the same if none of them took the stuff.....
Just a lot slower is all!!LOL
Lets hope the UCI puts this all to bed once and for all and show the septics that they can't have everything their own way. Take that whichever way you will, either for Lance or for the USADA!???!

I hear his book "Its not about the bike" is being reprinted. This time it will be"Its not about the bike,its about the drugs". ;D
Ime,idols often turn out to have feet of clay. ;)

"Lance we need a sample",
" Hang on chaps just got to get a catheter in, hook up my saline drip, drink gallons of water to dilute my blood and piss, be with you a couple of hours"
Yeah right, some how I don't think so. ::) ::)
Another case of no proof only the testimoney of other team members that weren't as good, while at the same time admitting they cheated. :( :(

He bought officials off when he needed to.$100,000 in one case apparently. He has chosen not to offer any defence,probably because he knows he will then be proved a liar and found guilty.Hes not the type of bloke to walk away from something like this unless he knows he is guilty as charged,imo.
