All or almost all of those Tour de France entrants are doping.
Lance is targeted because he is American.
They hate him for showing them up so often.
Remember, he never failed a urine test, and they convicted him and banned him ANYWAY.

It is being reported that in a highly anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey, Lance Armstrong has admitted to doping in order to win the Tour de France. Allegations have been swirling around the bicyclist for years, but he has always firmly denied the charges until now.
On Monday, he apologized to the staff at his cancer charity Livestrong for putting the organization at risk and asked them to continue the fight, promising to help rebuild their reputation. Then he went to a nearby hotel and sat with Oprah for three hours for what is being called an “emotional” interview where he cleared his conscience. Prior to doing the interview, he told an AP reporter, ''I'm calm, I'm at ease and ready to speak candidly.''
No one knew exactly how candid he would be, but apparently he came clean, admitting to taking performance-enhancing drugs. He had already been stripped of his titles, banned from the sport and forced to resign from Livestrong. It seems like it was just a matter of time before he’d tell the truth about what really happened and many speculate it is the reason he agreed to do the interview with Oprah.
But was anybody really surprised by the news? After all we’ve been hearing these allegations for almost a decade now. What do you think? Is this an honest admission or anticlimactic?

Anticlimactic























Basketball players should take drugs that make them grow 12 feet tall. Linemen on football teams should weigh in at 500+ pounds of bone, hair and muscle with receivers and defensive backs able to run 50 mph and offensive backs able to do that as well as having massive throwing arms that can send the ball down the field at 100 mph. Cyclists should use drugs to build massive legs that would allow them to pedal up the mountains at 100 MPH if they want. All of them should do things to make there blood work better.
Sports are entertainment at best... the entertainers should at least be entertaining.
rallyes can continue, but sans Lance Armstrong and any others like
him who's conduct corrupts and brings shame to the sport of bicycling,
and to Olympic, College, and Pro sports in general.
People are sufferinf while the American Cancer Society is sitting on a $5 billion dollar, interest earning savings account!!!!!
about their steroid or other drug uses.It's gotten to be so common that No one should be shocked by it...just dissapointed or desgusted!
