Quoted message said:> Supported Greg LeMond?!? Yeah, right!
Quoted message said:Delgado was also found guilty of doping during his Tour win. They
don't seem to have
a problem with that though.

Perico used Probenicid which in and of itself is not perfrmance
enhancing
However it is a Masking Agent and is useful in negating tests for real
performance enhancers
It was, if I remember correctly, on the IOC's Banned Substances List,
but not on the UCI's
Delgado tested positive for a legal substance which gave evidence that
he was doping. This means he
got to keep his Tour de France title despite overwhelming evidence of
doping. He cannot be considered
a clean winner, despite having the right to keep his title, having
been kept the rules of the event.
Whatever the absolute morality of the situation, Perico tested
positive for absolutely nothing
And in support of Delgado, the lads ignored the starter's flag at the
20th stage in protest at how the tests had been conducted and reported
You will remember that the Press got the news before Perico got
it himself, another earlier LNDD breach of security and ethics when
LNDD should not even have reported anything because they used the
wrong list.
Then some Froggy Sports Minister who couldn't carry Marie-George's
Lunch Bucket in that Portfolio, a [censored] by the name of Lionel Jospin,
in turn boycotted the climax of the event, accusing the sport of
"straying from considerations of health and morals".
Interestingly, there's a remote possibility that Perico would still
have been the Winner even had he been positive since he was 5 minutes
ahead and the penalty for doping was only 10 minutes added to GC time.

from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary
residents living among you and members of their clans born in your
country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your
children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life....."
