Tour De France 2012

Thats the question everyone wants an answer to. I expect the court cases and legal challenges to go on for years yet, and with every passing tour I foresee it being more and more difficult to go back and take titles away and then give them to someone else - someone else who may also have some samples retested etc.

Ye its a mine field especially with jan ullrichs chequered past too

Hope he is stripped of his titles, Armstrong is probably the biggest fraud in sporting history.

Can't see him ousting Souness myself.

 

[Azzurri]

Thing is the lid who finished second all them times may have been doping but unless they've frozen his samples he won't get caught because of modern testing.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

If they do collar Armstrong then they'd have to scrap results from that whole period. You can't start handing it down the peleton as they were all at it back then, it'd be a farce.

Froome looking good.

Froome looking good.

But what about his cycling?

"The moral of the story is that if a cyclist looks too good to be true, then he probably is"

Wiggo/Team GB track team disciples please take note.

Good Lord.

I really don't want to believe he's a cheat.

They'd sing that about Ponting at the SCG. Bloody good Popcorning and my mate bit once.

Security ended up dragging him out kicking and screaming.

But Armstrong. It saddens me.

Armstrong claims in his defence that he wasn't using anyway.... just peddaling.!!

 

[Phyllis Stein]

I wonder how many other riders samples have been kept. And although he isn't contesting the doping charges that isn't the same as any agency having him bang to rights.
This'll go for a while yet.

And Froome is second by 10 seconds in the Veulta.
