Seems he s gonna lose all 7 tour victories and a lifelong ban for any sport.

What do you think about it?

For me too!

He was the best Grand Tour rider of his era, and one of the greatest cyclists in history.

Jan Ullrich was interviewed today...and he said: "If the USADA and UCI delet Lance s victories and consider me as the winner 2000, 2001 and 2003, i won t accept it. Lance was simply better than me in those years."

The USADA want to delet his 7 victories at Tour de France...but the UCI still want more evidence from USADA. They stats: "Give us a good reason why we should delet his victories."

If they really should do it, the TDF winners would be:

1999: Alex Zuelle (Countryman of Federer)
2000: Jan Ullrich (2nd win overall)
2001: Jan Ullrich (3rd win overall)
2002: Joseba Beloki (Spain)
2003: Jan Ullrich (4th win overall)
2004: Andreas Kloeden (Germany)
2005: Ivan Basso (Italy)

All of them (except of Kloeden) were tested positive once or more...

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Still if evry 1 else is doing it doesn't make it right. Cheating is cheating. Make a substance that is allowed to be used and go that way.,
To win is to achieve success. To compete and lose and try again is greatness

Everyone cheats! Lifting weights is cheating as it transforms muscles into something they're not. Hell, EVERY type of exercise/working out is cheating. All sports should be contested by people who do nothing. It's the only way to level the playing field.

Natural is what you're born with. When you lift weights your muscles become unnatural. Drug enhancement is unnatural -- so is exercise and lifting weights.

Actually the stuff you're born with is pretty much the stuff you have forever. Granted it (naturally) grows a little, but all in all, same shit. :wink:
