That' a pretty admirable strawman argument. Because the tour hasn't had a winner over 36, Lance can't win. I suppose back in 2004 Lance shouldn't have attempted to win his 6th TdF becasue nobody had won more than 5.
What has drug testing got to do with it? Lance was clean back than, he's clean now. He's one of the most tested athlete in modern history, yet there is not a shred of physical evidence that he dopes.
People need to accept the fact that he's just an exemplary athlete, in the same category as someone like a Phelps.
