Yes, I know he probably wasn't on 'Roids but I've been following pro cycling long enough to know they're all -- ALL OF 'EM -- on something. EPO, peptides, ketones, ... something. It's infiltrated every sport in existence (even badminton!!) because they've created masking agents, adulterants and administration techniques to thwart the anti-PEDs testing. So they dope with impugnity.

The saying going around is, 'you can't fail the drug test unless you first fail the IQ test.'

And the proof that he's doped is ... HE WON. As Lance Pharmstrong showed us, you can't beat the dopers if you're not yourself doped.

One point I forgot.

The 11th stage of the 2026 Tour de France was last week. It was 97 miles. The first 110 finishers had a time of 3 hours 10 minutes 6 seconds, a speed of 30.6 mph.

Thirty miles an hour and change. 97 miles. On a bicycle (and lots of dope).

And did any of them test positive? FUGGEDDABOUDIT!

“As Lance Pharmstrong showed us, you can’t beat the dopers if you’re not yourself doped.”

Am I the only one that has noticed the uncanny resemblance of the results of the current Tour de France champion (Pogacar) with those of Armstrong in the 90s? He has the absolute ability to just take off on the steep mountains and leave everyone else sucking wind. Of course, it could be just a coincidence and he really is that much better than everyone else, or perhaps Occam’s Razor should be considered.
