I think he cheated. They had ten different cats lined up to testify against him. They had blood samples consistent with doping. If he was innocent he wouldn't just give up. Hyper competitive people don't do that.
Why does Armstrong get a pass in the court of public opinion, but the likes of Palmeiro, Bonds, McGwire, Clemens, etc. get shit on?
One standard will be just fine, please.
Because Lance passed a multitude of tests and the baseball guys weren't tested at all.
I don't know. Yes it seems like they have hearsay from witnesses. But even if you kick the toughest dog in the gut enough times, he's going to give up and just let it go after a while. He's been accused of this time and time and time and time again. He's been tested more times than ANY OTHER athlete in all of sports, which includes 500 (HUNDRED) blood tests. NONE have come back positive. These accusations, don't even have a positive blood test.
If you are going to test people, and you are judging people on that test,..... yet decide the test isn't giving you the evdidence that you want.... why test at all??? Seems that after 15 years of ridiculous testing and probing, they believe they FINALLY have something?? Really? Seems it proves to me, that if people try hard enough, they can prove anything they want to prove.

I know he's an icon for some of you guys but the guy was doping the entire time, even his best friends no longer stick by his side.
He is giving up the fight because he knows they have something on him, he wouldnt give up otherwise. Greg Lemond probably finally gave something up on him.
"he's been doping the entire time"...pfffft. You don't know that, you just want to believe that. You don't have any evidence, and the evidence against him STILL doesn't have a positive test. I get that a negative test doesn't mean innocence, but 500 tests?? for christs sake, how many times does a person have to spend the money to say the same things and watch people CONTINUE to try and bring you down? 5 HUNDRED blood tests.... zero positives.
As far as being an "icon"...hardly. Don't know much about him and hear he's an *******. DOesn't mean that I simply am willing believe those that want to throw out accusations after accusations after accusations....with the hope that ONE of them is actually going to stick. 5 HUNDRED blood tests.....jeesh.
But personally, I don't care either way. I'm not into cycling, and like Coach said.... wouldn't bother me one bit if guys were allowed to use HGH, steroids, or some other chemical. Hell, they've been doing it since the 30s...the very people that set the records we are trying to protect....used PEDs.

Baseball sucks now that they have cut down the juicing.
I think it will come around again. For years the batters were ahead of the pitchers. Right now, the pitchers are ahead of the batters. It will catch up again.
