Snaps. Who isn't doping?
Coors was a domestic team, right?

Yup. The fact that he admitted doping taints Rishi Grewals accomplishments, at least to me
<edit> Can everyone stop admitting to doping so I can live in a fantasy world and think its just natural talent??
Yeah, plus it makes you wonder domestically who's on stuff.

like I believe anything that comes out of that bitter old man's mouth
so does this mean that our kick ass performance in the summer games in LA were a lie? guess a few olympic medals may be getting returned soon.
We've been souping up cars for years, why not cyclists??? Let em stab the veins.
I'm all about drugs anyway.

What's it matter? Everyone else was hopped up, and we beat the state* sponsored programs.
edit -- 2004 looks like it was a banner year at the Olympics.

Yup especially after having his guts blown out -- twice!Lemond did it natually

Now lets see how long it takes for him to come out with a statemnet --I told you so !!
Lemond will come out say:
"Ha! I told you everyone was doping! This is why I couldn't win the Tour more than three times, everyone started shooting up!"
In all honesty if I was in the same situation I woulda doped. When you have your team manager and doctor telling you its the way and everyone else on the team is doing it, the pressure is immense

i'm with you on this one. since it's becoming such a problem, let em do it and just asterik all the records from that point on. pre doping and doping years. not that the pre part will mean much, but at least it could stand for the legal/illegal years.
We could have PD and AD, pre doping and after doping :biggrin: I'm in favor of stopping testing; look at the article that came out recently saying that HGH at best causes no performance gain and at worst has a negative effect on performance. Imagine all of those cyclists that have tried to use that drug to get an edge and it turns out it could have been hurting their performance, kinda makes it a wash.
Here is the article for reference:

I always wondered how he beat Bauer in the final sprint anyway. Maybe now we know.
