  1. Read this direct quote on THEPACELINE.COM when reading about Lance Armstrong. First off him and Sheryl are officialy engaged! But what supprised me the most was this quote at the bottom of the article. This is a direct quote, let me know what ya think.

    * Also of note: In light of recent doping allegations by the French newspaper l'Equipe, rumors of Lance coming out of retirement to go for an unprecedented 8th Tour de France victory are still premature, but he did say recently, "I am thinking about it, and I am exercising every day…"

  2. If Lance is ticked at the Tour organizers for wholeheartedly throwing in with the L'Equipe mess, then he should unretire and ride the Giro and Vuelta, but not the Tour. That would be the best revenge.

    Yeah, I don't think that drawing a bunch of American tourist money to France is really going to get his point across.

    Revenge against what? Against the EPO he took? 😕

    But he can show that he can win without any such help now...

  6. The problem is that if he races again it's a double edged sword. If he wins they will claim he is doping but is ahead of the tests, if he has a witness with him the whole race it will be the person wasn't there all the time or was paid off. If he loses, it's because he didn't dope. He can't win, no matter what he does.

  7. At least this would guarantee another year on 'some' cycling on OLN.

    It would be very naive to believe dopers don't have news products. The situation for 20 years is anti-doping agencies are running after newly-created susbtances. Did you read the interview of the italian anto-doping specialist? He is persuaded that Lance used new products for few years.🙁

    Yep, it is pity that there isn't more coverage of cycling in the USA on TV.
    I've relatives over there who follow the sport but cannot get to se footage of the Pro-Tour races except the TDF, which is harsh on the US cycling fan.
