by constantly denying it, they know that they attract attention.
Just another form of self aggrandisement.
On both the principals part and his syncophants part.
Rolfrae said:So you admit he was doping, just that his edge wasn't his method of doping, just the other factors added on top of his doping?
This argument has been going on for some while here and elsewhere.Maybe I can just summarise for you to save us all from going another 50 posts each on thisobxbes said:I am trying to read where I said he was doping. I think I said that when you are physically gifted, have the best equipment, plan the best and have the strongest team mates winning consistently shouldn't be a surprise. Maybe Armstrong has never failed a drug test because he hasn't doped. You would think that with all the effort trying to prove he has doped something concrete would show up. Wasn't this year's TDF one of the slowest and it was filled with dopers. Doping doesn't mean you are going to be successful.
