DJ84 Posted October 11, 2012 Share I dont really care if Lance is guilty or not.I do believe that this whole debacle is rediculous though. I still think that dopping in sports should be legalised but monitored as you will always get the idiots that overdo it and kill themselves (although i believe in the darwin theory),but you will also get the ignorant yougsters overdoing it. To be the best you still have to train and diet and act like the best, plus have the genetics.The doping only assists a small percentage of all of that.

jcza Posted October 11, 2012 Share The "cycle" as you put it started along with the sport of cycling. Organisers in europe made races and stages far to difficult for the human body to contend with un-aided. So, it's been a part of the culture of European professional cycling for over 100 years now. Cheating in cycling is as old as cycling itself. Be it drugs, taking a car/train, shortcut or tacks on the road etc. Interesting read is Blazing Saddles that deals specifically with the Tour de France.

jcza Posted October 11, 2012 Share Liggett has almost less credibility left than big Tex. Which means we as Saffas will invite him to all sorts of functions in SA and pay him silly money to bore us with his manlove of Lance. Isn't there an event on soon with Liggett, David Millar, McQuaid and others here in SA?

Eldron Posted October 11, 2012 Share Eldron, are you really as doff as you make out here? 2 years is the ban for doping. You can get a maximum of 18 months remission for co-operating with the authorities. However, the penalty for the offences big Tex acknowledged by stepping away carry a life time ban. No fanboy? pull the other one. Ah. Right. Thank you for the info. As for the doff fanboy comments - why don't you wrap those in barbed wire and stick 'em up your pooper. bradwentzel 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/117304-lance-armstrong-banned-and-stripped-of-tdf-titles/page/111/#findComment-1810038 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombeej Posted October 11, 2012 Share Confirmation that they're going after individuals higher up the supply chain ("70 people, including about 20 athletes, plus doctors, physical trainers and massage therapists").http://www.sport24.co.za/OtherSport/Cycling/Lances-doctor-may-face-charges-20121011 And Ferrari is at the top of that list. Looks like they're going after him with criminal charges.
