It will be interesting to know what sort of bike was used. When Boardman heard Lance might be interested in going after the record, he proposed a variety of "rules" to apply to Lance:
- that the attempt be made at sea level
- that the attempt be made on a "traditional" style bike
- that Lance be drug tested every day for months before the attempt, and drug tested before, during, and after the record attempt.
- that the blood and urine samples be stored for 100 years, so that if Boardman could not accuse Lance of cheating, perhaps Boardman's grandchildren could accuse Lance of cheating, using the "testing technology" of the year 2105.
Note: I'm paraphrasing Boardman's drug testing related requests. But his proposal was more or less that silly.
The purpose of Boardman's proposal: Boardman wants to claim that HE was "clean" when he set the record and therefore, if anyone ELSE gets the record, that rider must be dirty.
