Le Tour De France 2012

Shocked to see Lance Armstrong having been stripped of his Tour de France victories for doping! I'm one of these people that believes that nearly every cyclist is involved in some kind of doping, so picking him out is injust when so many others are doping.

I believe the ADA has always had something against Armstrong. They have always singled him out for whatever reason, and he's just given up the fight now.

What's the American Dental Association got to do with any of this

Seriously, I think you're right and there often does seem to be a persecution against American cyclists in general by them. I still think its a disgrace that they've waited so long to get him.

What's going to happen now, are the riders who finished second in these Tours, going to be elevated to winner status, when its more than likely they were doing doping as well!

Who isn't doping? What ever happened to earning titles honestly?

Honesty has never existed in pro-cycling, the sport is just too hard to do without some kind of performance enhancing drugs. Its regarded as the toughest sport to do along with cross country skiing.

Haha! Anti Doping Agency, apparently. All they were saying on the news was "ADA"

Ah I see. It does look very intense I must say. What is the point of the competition if everyone is going to cheat?

Yes, many of the cyclists doped...the fact that he cheated to 7 titles is why he is getting all the publicity..he needs to come clean...damning evidence...samples from 99', many colleagues, teammates and friends have come out....he knows he would've lost in court when all these witnesses come to testify under oath..even his sponsor(Oakley) said he was a fraud.

what evidence?

floyd landis says he saw him using PEDs....FLOYD LANDIS!

there is none....this is public massacre....and bullshit in my opinion....the USADA is singling Lance out for a witch hunt style public prosecution.....they have not in any way shape or form submitted "damning evidence"

my only issue with this is....why would you just stop fighting....i mean he lost a counter suit....so what....you won the Tour de France 7 times man....on drugs or not...this is a major feat....why would you be willing to possibly give that up

also the USADA should in no way have the right to strip him of anything....it should be up to the Olympic comity and the Tour de France governing board

But if nearly everybody is doing doping, is it really cheating?

Floyd Landis yer its friggin hilarious

Agree the USADA are out of order here and it should Tour de France governing body that should have the right to do this, after all the so called "crime" took place on their soil.
