Don't know how...he'd get more respect if he held his hands up but he hasn't and that's not to mention his bullying of others. Normally you'd give credit for his charity work but that was only on the back of one big fraud so you can't even do that. Not only do they discredit themselves they discredit a whole sport and some people will unfairly question the integrity of other winners such as Wiggins, Cavendish, etc. A bit like saying Hitler was a good guy at heart just misunderstood... Good poster though |

Good poster though Totally agree. He was the "Godfather" of the pelaton, he "attacked" riders physically during races and verbally and even "forced" one French rider to retire from the sport because he wouldn't conform to LA's demands. If you take any notice of the British press you will see that they are trying to stir up trouble for the current riders by twisting statements and putting words into mouths that aren't said. Reading the French Press is totally different |

I don't know why there's so much fuss about it really. They're all at it! Can you seriously imagine racing 6-7hrs a day for three weeks solid??? Up mountains!  |

I bet Ben could do it...he's great Haveyou done any bunch racing Ben? Just watched some videos of the TdeF in the 90's. fast speeds on the climbs and they all had their mouths shut. Greg Lemond said when he came to race in Europe he couldn't believe why they didn't get out of breath. Now we know!!!!!!! |

Yes I can imagine doing it but I know I couldnt. Thats why I held these people in awe. The awe goes when you hear how they did it. It makes me sick, i dont care that "everyone was doing it". I just hope that it has all ended. i just want to see a man on a bike doing things that I wish I could do because they not some chemical can.

It maybe an IDEA for the BIG stage racing events to start looking at the whole race and maybe either giving a few more rest days even making stages shorter u could still have your mountain top and flat sprint finishes.
A 100 metre runner gets a few days off after each 100 meters.
don't think cycling will ever be clean from everything TBH.
