Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 http://sports.yahoo.com/sc/news?slug=ap-la...ov=ap&type=lgns I wonder what excuse he'll have this time now he fail the test again. (I like it how espn phrased this: A + B = C Ya Later For Landis)
Lurker Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 This can't be good for Lance's long-term image, either....
ajzepp Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 This whole thing has become a joke....how many riders were disqualified this year? Now the champ is being stripped of his title..... Must be the same people who run the Italian soccer league are racing in this thing.
/dev/null Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Its only a matter of time until the Tour De France starts disqualifying if a rider tests positive as American

Must be the same people who run the Italian soccer league are racing in this thing. 736297[/snapback] I find it hard to believe that anyone who wins the Tour De France is not on the juice.
gmac17 Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 could someone explain to me what he actually would have done to get the testosterone? Was it putting a patch / taking a one time shot to give him an extra boost? I understand blood doping, but not this....
The Dean Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I find it hard to believe that anyone who wins the Tour De France is not on the juice. 736317[/snapback] I'd go so far as to say virtually ALL of the participants in this race are juiced.
meazza Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I'd go so far as to say virtually ALL of the participants in this race are juiced. 736390[/snapback] I'd go so far as to say that most athletes are juiced. Whether it be EPO, or other forms of steroids, the competition is too fierce not to cheat. Can't take anything away from them though. Especially the Tour de France. I give respect to the winner juiced or not.
Terry Tate Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I'd go so far as to say virtually ALL of the participants in this race are juiced. 736390[/snapback] I think a lot of the posters on this board are juiced. Or soon will be. It's Saturday. BTW, is it just me, or is the sight of adults in your area dressed in whatever those racing suits are, helmets, gloves, goggles/expensive sunglasses bicycling around on super expensive bikes seem - um, I don't know - silly to anyone else? If I just described you, I'm not bringing this up to insult you, I just don't get it. Not the bike part, that's cool. It's all the other stuff. Just cracks me up when I see it.

Just cracks me up when I see it. 736415[/snapback] Let's just say that, living in San Francisco, I see WAY too many men dressed the way you describe. Men in padded-butt shorts is a little frightening.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 could someone explain to me what he actually would have done to get the testosterone? Was it putting a patch / taking a one time shot to give him an extra boost? I understand blood doping, but not this.... 736375[/snapback] Cycling is a joke. Why not put these guys in a bubble? And if you say it never went on before in sports in general... People gottabe naive... Did you see Harry Carson today? Wow... Not making any accus but, they way he looks now (granted he is older... Not a whole hell though)... Just food for thought... GM...That is what I was thinking too... Can somebody elaborate? When do they think he juiced... Right before the 17th stage?... Please... Answers please!
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted August 5, 2006 Author Posted August 5, 2006 This can't be good for Lance's long-term image, either.... 736287[/snapback] Maybe, but from what sports radio stations are saying, Lance is safe.
Lurker Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Maybe but from what sports radio stations are saying is that Lance is safe. 736449[/snapback] Sure, he safe. But public perception of the sport just took a big hit and most non-U.S. observers will assume he was just more sophisticated than Landis in covering his tracks...
olivier in france Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 i agree about 99% of the guys riding in the Tour are juiced and it's not just now, it has been the case since the Tour exists. That's why this Landis story is a joke
EC-Bills Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 could someone explain to me what he actually would have done to get the testosterone? Was it putting a patch / taking a one time shot to give him an extra boost? I understand blood doping, but not this.... 736375[/snapback] I am with you. Considering all his samples came back clean except for one days worth. I find it hard to believe that if Landis did indeed take something for one day it still wasn't in his system next day.
