StevieL Posted October 12, 2011 Share Lance Armstrong doped? No!!! In this clip he is surrounded by dopers on Alpe d'Huez, but miraculously puts them all to bed. What a star! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-y38WZAtgc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon Stevie - that argument has been (correctly!) made more times that people have watched a certain youngster get hit by a buck. The truth is - we will never know the truth - the sooner people realise this and stop the ad nauseam "did he didn't he" crapola the better life will be. The Springboks lost by 2 points - it is now etched it history - no amount of Bryce Bashing will change that. Bafana bafana seem to have a chance though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To lose to The Caveman by a couple of seconds, even if Caveman was Jet lagged, is a phenomenal achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a star! http://www.youtube.c...h?v=1-y38WZAtgc That's his whole team, nearly all of them subsequently busted, sprinting up Alpe d'Huez to shell the bunch so that Lance can then ride away from all of them. But did he dope, we'll never know for sure. Maybe there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny. Impossible to know for certain. Edited October 14, 2011 by Lucky Luke.

And it's the day after the rest day. But did he dope, we'll never know for sure. Maybe there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny. Impossible to know for certain. Agreed. But I know one thing, they must have quite an average speed going up that mountain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Luke. Posted October 14, 2011 Share Agreed. But I know one thing, they must have quite an average speed going up that mountain... Pantani still holds the record with his 1997 time 37m 35s (23.08 km/h). Lance came close to it - 25 seconds off - in 2001, the year he rope-a-doped Ullrich into thinking he had bonked. In the clip you posted Lance was having one of his weaker years if you could call it that and nearly lost the tour to Ullrich. His team was strong though - the attack shown is all the more notable considering that it comes near the end of a 219km mountain stage. Edited October 14, 2011 by Lucky Luke.
