They are pretty funny - but then again so are some of the 'Armstrong must be doping' nutswingers...
Just like those who believe that Lemond could go from completely craptacular to mythically good in two weeks from just three iron shots. The body doesnt produce Ferritin, increase iron stores, bind iron to ferritin and then, and only then, start fixing the problem anemia... It takes time.
If we're really going to fight for a dope free sport, we should go back and purge the history books... Anquetil, merckx, moser, kelly, roche, pantani, fignon... and on and on and on... Just get done with cleaning up the past and put down a holier than thou penalty scheme for serious PEDs and carry on with the current scheme for cases that involve dumb sh1t like taking over the counter back ache pills that have an inconsequential amount of a near inconsequential banned substances. I'd add Roche to that list as he was later found to have undergone the services of Ferrari's teacher - Conconi - as had Claudio cappuchino and viscentini...
