Happy birthday Lance  :thumbup:

 

For many years you were my hero. 

 

 

Yes, I will admit to that....  :whistling:

Mine too. Now he's like an anti hero which is even better.

 

I prefer the new and improved disgraced somewhat humbled (not really) LA.

 

His podcasts are great and his insights into the racing are awesome. 

 

The guy saw the system for what it is (totally corrupt) and played the game better than everyone else.

 

We were entertained

cycling became mainstream

He got rich

Trek sold a lot of bikes

Oakley sold a few pairs of sunnies

 

Everyone won.

TRUE !!

 

 

Let's not kid ourselves ... most top athletes still use as much as they can get away with .... and when the testing methods improve are they to be retro-actively be hung as well ?

have you got the pattern yet?

Well lately they have all been quirky cyclists with a decent back story.... But Thomas Dekker is a bit of a weird one.

 

Like Gino Bartali over the Giro is a given, but why a disgraced EPO cheat who failed at his hour record attempt?
