From what I understand, part of the problem is that some of the same drugs flagged as “performance-enhancers” are also drugs that are sometimes given to cancer patients as part of their treatment, something that might be confusing the issue.[]It’s kinda like how steroids actually have a handful of legitimate medical uses.
One of the issues about Armstrong is that the French absolutely HATE him for winning so much in THEIR race. They’ve questioned him from day one. Armstrong has decided to quit fighting.The fact is, he has passed any number of tests in the past, but somehow they’re still after him.
..yes,all you have to do is ACCUSE someone and they are guilty.No judge.No jury.Just finger pointing.‘The’ 24 news station is very good at this.HECK:they know somethings aren’t true(they put the newspiece together),but that does not stop them from accusing!And people like you,kas300,because it is easier than actually checking your facts,than thinking for yourself,eat this stuff up than spit it right back out…bulimia of the news..it’s a sickness,The people that have it,may,indeed,look good,but they are sickStahler must have pissed off the wrong people.
He never failed a test. It’s just a witch hunt that he was having to pay for. Giving up the financially draining fighting of false charges does NOT make him guilty of anything.
& @motivemagusBaslim asked, “when a Brit wins? Oh wait…”Ha! I was about to reply to MM’s comment, " French absolutely HATE him for winning so much in THEIR race." with the fact that as soon as a British rider won the TDF, they turned on him, too, during the Olympics; going as far as to suggest the British had a “secret” enhancement on their bikes. The British replied that they did indeed have one: French-made wheels. :-|Baslim, you beat me to the comment. ;-)(btw, I just realised I replied to your 1st post directly; that wasn’t my intention :p My post voicing my scepticism was aimed at the cartoon and in general. )
cycling, especially the tours are juiced up/corrupt. even the first winner of the tour de france had a bag of pills and meds to cope with the 21 day race.

So all of those people who did the drug tests since 1996 got paid for their work and they were wrong?

Just proves that if they want to destroy you, they will destroy you. A bunch of sour grapes if you ask me.

This is an interesting cartoon coming from a cartoonist with Stahler’s colorful history…..

for a real hero, try neil or louie, not this dbag. walking on the moon and transforming music is better than riding a bike around france.
