My nomination for the shortest list in the world:

1. Tour de France cyclists who never doped.


So true. The problem the tour had with the stripping of lances titles is that the runners up in most years had been convicted of drugs usage....

Sad state for a sport that demands the ultimate in endurance/tactics/guts....

To ride 2000+miles over a course of weeks, with mountains, time trials thrown
in is daunting.

If you have ever ridden 50 miles at a leisurely pace you know of what I speak....

Not condoning doping etc.... just respecting the challenge they face

The deliberate government driven destruction of Armstrong does more to harm the charities that he has supported and that have endorsed him than will ever do to make the sport of cycling drug free.........
