While he almost certainly was doping, it's ridiculous that they're doing this because the top 90% of cyclists are doping. As I understand it, it provides such a huge advantage in cycling the ones that aren't simply can't compete; the smart dopers simply will never test positive. So what are they doing, stripping him of his titles and giving them to the next best doper who also never tested positive? Stupidity.

Real runners should run without shoes. I mean, really. Arch supports, wicking fabric, and such are cheating! Y'all know I'm right.

I have always said the same about climbers and rope!

AS I understand it these days the sport is pretty much clean....but it certainly wasnt back in the day.

And it took a lot of heart ache and cost to get it clean.

Define "doping"!!!

Anything can be called doping. Sports drinks with electrolytes can be called doping. "Engery Drinks" can be doping.

I truly think that the problem that Lance Armstrong had was a case of people wanting to retroactively change the definition.

I saw on the news where all but one of the top 2racers for those seven years tested positive for drugs . So if all of them tested positive how did he not test once as positive ? I am with him he finaly knew he would never be vindicated so you just have to give up now or keep fighting till your gone and then be stripped of everything . Once your gone you can't fight .
