Default USPS/Discovery- Greatest team of all time?

They are on the verge of winning 8 Tour de France's in 9 years. Add to that wins in the DL, Gent Wevelgem,Vuelta, Giro, Tour de Georgia, Three Days of De Panne, Tour of California, Paris-Nice, Tour of Belgium and countless other stage wins etc. This has to solidify their reign as the best team ever.

Given this years circumstances, I don't think that's much to cheer about...

That's like claiming to be the best drug dealer on the corner...

Yes, USPO/Discovery is the greatest sporting fraud in pro cycling history.

During the Lance Pharmstrong era (1999 thru 2005) not one rider failed a drug test (actually Armstrong and Beltran did---but they were quickly fixed with TUEs)

Not even when the rider's wives were busted did it affect the paris podium (Ramundas Rumsas-2003 or Dario Frigo-2004)

Before Phamrstrong---we had Festina/TVM scandal and post Pharmstrong we had Roid Landis and the cow blood-based Chicken Hawk.

You were warned about this BlueTrain.

What about Levi Leipheimer? Surely he should be considered one of the greastest of all time.

Contador was in OP and then, along with a bunch of other SPANISH riders, mysteriously was cleared.

Does "history" mean "the last decade"? The "Tour of Georgia" and "Tour of California", don't include a full slate of top flight European competitors. You and Musette make more knowledgeable Discovery fans cringe.

ROTFL. I'm a fan of Bobby Julich. I can't help that he rides for CSC. By the way, I always get a kick of the "yur just jellus" retort. Hilarious. I'm a fan of Disco and have been rooting for Levi.

And this whole thread was just to stir the pot. Hook, Line, and sinker. You bought it. And a disco fan at that. Classic. Damn I'm good.

How long before Disco hires Rasmussen? I'm sure Bruyneel will look him in the eye and determine he is not a doper.
