Sure, we will. He tested positive six times for EPO.
No, there is not. The advantage of EPO and blood doping is huge. Pro races are won by differences of a few percent. He would have to be naturally 10% to 15% better than everyone else to have raced clean. If that were the case then it would have been evident in the first half of his career. Instead he was only moderately successful, was not able to climb in the high mountains, and was not even able to finish the Tour before he encouraged his Motorola teammates to use EPO in1995.
To believe that Armstrong was not doping and still beat all the other doping pros then you have to believe that he suddenly turned into superman half way through is career. This, of course, takes place in an era where the way people are turned in supermen is by doping.
What is your explanation for Armstrong's sudden transformation?
This is just ridiculous, their is NO evidence otherwise Armstrong would be in the same boat as Basso, Heras, Hamilton, Riis. The plain fact is he is not. What do you know or anyone on this forum, what inside information do you have.....if you have something take it to the WADA, or better still mortgage your house and take him to court for "sporting fraud" , the first thing you could ask him under cross examination is "What is your explanation for your sudden transformation".
He would then trawl out more doctors than you have fingers that could give you this explanation, none of it unless your a expert in the field you could understand.
Doesn't anyone understand that without evidence that would stand up in a court of law the case is a non-starter.
Evidence that comprises of "I read on the internet" isn't going to hold much water.....in fact no water at all, and lets face it the internet is full of more sh*t than your average sewage works.
Where did you hear he tested positive six times for EPO, errrr on the internet. If this is correct why isn't it front page news, why hasn't he been sanctioned he hasn't because i believe his "B" samples had been destroyed......well end of story then because the procedures that have been laid down have been broken.
Another point, which i admit is pure speculation but is worth mentioning non the less.....Why was he better in 2000, 2001, 2004 than he was in 1999, when EPO testing was in full swing ??.......oh i know it must have been something else he took or something else he did.....well with that kind of evidence the judge is sure to come down on your side......NOT.
Forums are for opinion and discussion, they are not used in court and as far as i'm aware are not admissable evidence. Just except it Lance Armstrong was better than everyone else in the TDF between 1999-2005, if evidence to the contrary arises I will be the first person here to say i was wrong.
