I know only that to stay at the top of such a gruelling event as the Tour
, against such strong, talented opposition for 6 years is, in the minds of
most people, an unattainable outcome without assistance.

The rumours have been there for many years as they have with Marion Jones
and I believe that they will eventually be confirmed.


It may be past the rumor stage as there is a trial ongoing, the verdict of
which is expected this autumn. Dr. Michele Ferrari has been accused of
recommending EPO (Erythropoeitin) to his clients, among them Armstrong.
Both Greg LeMond and Andy Hampsten have made statements to the prevalence
of doping in the poloton.

Don't be to sure about that Joe,

There are a lot of Texas getting smart. Maybe soon they'll be getting
drivers licenses and won't have to be using Bikes.

OT



Many Texans have licences today Ol Thom, But Im sure you know our
state is famous for doing all w can to protect the enviroment. Hell
more people bike to work in Austin than the Japs do in Tokyo.

The rest of the world needs to train on the hills of Austin in the
100+ degree heat and perhaps they will have a chance catching Lance.

Awl Hell....I take it back, They still will not have a snowballs
chance in hell of catching up with Lance. All the rest of the world
can do is wait until Lance decides to retire.

Way to go Lance! Looking forward to number 7.

No one will ever break Lances records. Cept maybe another Texan.

OK Oz,

Then you don't KNOW. You are just "FIRING FOR WHAT YOU THINK!" not what
you know. OK

Hey Guys,

I don't know if Lance is on a Drug but if I was so sick with Cancer that
I was near death and came back to win 6 Tour de France and never tested
positive; NAME THAT DRUG FOR ME.

Smile when you say that, pardner:) Actually I take a "glass is half
full approach". Whenever I find myself gushing over the beauty of the
Pacific Northwest or New England, or, recently in Northern Italy I
have to remind myself that growing up in West Texas I am easily
impressed:)

I have heard the experts say that Lance Armstrong is probably the
single most tested (for drugs) athlete in the world. They literally
have knocked on his door at 3:00 in the morning anytime of the year to
test the guy. Unless they actually have evidence of such a charge, it
seems only fair to give him the credit he has earned.

Shucks, I was only half serious. If I owned Texas then I could probably
afford to live there comfortably. And I certainly don't want to live any
place where I might have to shovel snow more than twice a decade.

Well, I have somewhat the opposite problem. I grew up in rural North
Carolina which was lovely (and still is, if you know where to look). But
with the arrogance of youth I thought of it as the armpit of all
Creation. Looking at what it is now, I wish I'd appreciated it more back
then. But there are certainly a lot of beautiful places on this Earth!

Did you visit Lake Garda?
