Simoeni's silliness was exhibited in the final stage, when he tried to get in front of the peloton. How disrespectful of the Yellow Jersey and how further signaling Simeoni's lack of judgment.
I ask the question of you - for the third time - do you believe that Lance Armstrong is clean ?
As regards Jan Ullrich - his palmares unlike your hero - has never been questioned.
He debuted at a very high level after a glittering career as an amateur.
No one has ever, ever brought allegations of performance enhancing drugs against JU.
No one.
His career/palmares is beyond doubt or question.
I refer you once again to what a 5 time TDF winner told me in 1998 :
"I saw JU in my rear view mirror. I competed from 1985 to 1996 against
all of the greats in that era and I have never seen as complete a cyclist
as Jan Ullrich"
I might point out to you that your hypothosis about people being jealous of
LA and their "perceived" jealously - is again, totally inaccurate.
When LeMond was beating a French institution (Bernard Hinault), not one of Hinault's supporters claimed that LeMond was using drugs to be their hero.
When a bloke from a neighbouring country completely dominated the TDF
in the 1970's (Merckx), no one ever raised the question of performance enhancing drugs.
In the 1990's when Indurain was blowing the entire field - and your harworking, diet watching, hero - to smithereens, no one raised any allegations of performance enhancing drugs.
Funny how only LA has been targetted.
Is he the victim of some wide international conspiracy ?
You'd probably advocate that he is.
So I ask you the question for the fourth time - do you believe that Armstrong is entirely clean ?
Your refusal to answer this question - I'll take it that you do not advocate that he is clean.
