Lance's progression was sped up by a thing called death

I think it would speed up everyones

he didnt think he would live forever anymore and didn't want to waste any time

There are numerous riders who have been busted or have admitted to using EPO. None of them are multiple Tour winners.

i couldn't have put it better myself

More likely he and Armstrong with both be ninty years old and he'll still be saying; "Just you watch, that SOB is gonna drop dead any day now and when he does, they'll all see how right I am and how wrong they are."

so you consider yourself that being 4th at this championship makes of you the greatest time trialer??wow impressive
olano won that championshiop and was 2nd in 95 and 4th in 2000, he should have won more time trials than lance, but he only won once, why is this?
why didnt armstrong do a good time trial until 1998?
why didnt armstrong didnt climb any pass until 1999?

You said he couldn't time trial. I simiply pointed out that taking fourth shows some ability to time trial.

Why didn't Michael Jordan win the NBA championship his first year or several years for that matter? Sometimes it takes time for people to fully reach their potential.

being 4th at the world championship time trial shows you nothing, it can show you something if you win it, but not if you are 4th because there are not many riders that compete in it
and then we won the 3 time trials in the tour of france 1999, to olano, zulle, moreau...

Yes and he also won the tour and he had never done that before so that obviously means he doped to win. blah blah blah.

Thank you for this. This shows how quickly you jump to conclusions when the conclusions are what you wish to believe. There is a big difference between finding banned substances in your personal property and associating with someone who was or may have been connected to banned substances.

Ever hang around with anyone you knew used marijuana, cocaine, meth? Be honest.

not the cocaine and marihuana thing
one thing is hanging around and another thing being your personal coach and doctor, i dont see differences between rumsas affaire and amrstrongs..
one was caught and punished because his wife was caught with substances...so the personal doctor of someone is tha same as ones wife

That is a laughable argument at best. Give us a break Miguel, I am going to have to take a break and visit the restroom so I don't wet myself from laughing so hard.
