Good going Lance! GO LANDIS! I thought that, according to a lot of folks on here, Armstrong hated Landis.. Maybe this is a case of dopers united? Just kidding. Armstrong never doped. :rolleyes: hllclmbr 08-13-2006, 05:56 PM Just kidding. Armstrong never doped. :rolleyes: It is estimated that the doping that pro cyclists partake in is worth about 2% in performace. Can you not wrap you head around the notion that an individual human, amongst the 6 billion on this panet, could naturally be 2.1% better than everyone, including the dopers? Henry Porter 08-13-2006, 07:18 PM It is estimated that the doping that pro cyclists partake in is worth about 2% in performace. I'm curious as to where you got that number from. ccyclist 08-14-2006, 04:16 AM It's not that Lance supports him necessarily. It's that he's not thrilled that the media's dredging up the whole issue again and coming to HIM for comments. Lance quote from the article: ""And the more you get out there and talk about it, I have to talk about it. The best is just to let the process play out and get out of the media. ... I would have encouraged him just to lay low."" tron 08-14-2006, 01:28 PM that if Landis was innocent that he should get out and talk about it? djg714 08-14-2006, 02:14 PM Floyd holds the key to the house of cards......... Matno 08-15-2006, 06:17 PM Well, if Lance DOES support Landis, that makes 3 of us. Or so it seems. I have a hard time believing that anyone would take the evidence that has been made public and use it to say that Floyd is guilty. To me it says that there's something fishy going on - and most likely NOT from Landis. Yet, the world has condemned him unquestionably. Go Floyd. I support you! asciibaron 08-16-2006, 04:36 AM the remember when LeMond began winning stages of the Tour - he was very concerned about his urine samples being messed with and made sure he put his finger prints on everything. i also remember LeMond saying that the world of cycling he was a part of is no longer - that the Tour changed drastically in the early 90's - i believe he was alluding to the rampant use of EPO and other drugs that a good test hadn't been established for yet. what doesn't make sense in my mind is that Landis had a ratio imbalance on 1 day in the Tour - what does that really mean - what drug's side effect is a testosterone ration imbalance? -steve |
