I don't know, it's just one of those things. If you're an American and you dominate a European sport for so long, you're obviously doing it illegally........
I don't need Lance Armstrong to have a cabinet full of medals for me to know that he is one of the greatest cyclists of all time.........
With this latest news, it's easy to forget that the Europeans have been the most blatant abusers of illegal sports enhancement drugs and have continuously been busted for it.
Armstrong was one of the most heavily and frequently tested cyclists in the world and never once proved positive............That's all I need to know.
LOL. The Race Card is dead! Long live the American Card! (Shame on you for that pathetic comment.)
Seriously though, *that* particular sport has been the sport of dopers for decades. Fact! Some get caught, some don't. But no matter what, everyone *expects* them all to be doped up. So why not just give everyone a certain limited amount of EPO or whatever and let them use it as they see fit. (With no *obligation* to use any if they choose not to.) Want to win a mountain stage? Use x% of that stash and have less left for the other stages. Etc. No muss, no fuss.
