If every professional athlete in the world were drugged to the gills, what difference would it make? They’re entertainers. If they can entertain while on drugs, the fans are getting what they pay for.

I’m with you, if they want to juice, let ‘em juice. I don’t care.

I watched every one of his 7 TdF victories and I have long held out hope that he was clean because he never peed dirty, but this is not good. It ain’t proof, but it looks/sounds really bad.

Stripping him of his Tour victories would be like stripping Dale Sr. of his NASCAR wins because one of his pit guys said they were cheating. Hell, they all cheat. Racin’ is cheatin’ at least until you get busted.

Armstrong is still a hero to me and will remain so, I don’t care. He didn’t cheat any worse than the rest of ‘em. Just smarter maybe.
