It is a FACT that he had multiple positives. It isn't an accusation. How can you deny that? Where is your proof that there were not multiple positives? Man, disinformation on these pages is going haywire.
BTW and back on subject, Lance proclaiming this as "showergate" is awesome. Well played, sir. Eff the Frenchies, bunch of sore losers. |
frites are Belgian anyway.

His return just puts him back in the ring as the big doper who got away with it rather than a retired star promoting his favorite charity.Hes not bigger than the sport nor race and the fact that they would take away his titles in a heart beat if they could shows that.

It's really hard not to think that French officials don't have it in for Lance. They should kiss his ass and pay him a million friggin Euro we-hope-you-actually-make-an-appearance fee for even announcing he's doing their stupid race considering that fact that such news will boost the interest in the event 100% globally.
Doping Schmoping. Somebody should send these Frog Morons to Economics 101. |

Most French people do not like Lance and it is not because he won so many times but the way he wins it's to American there is no sprit in Lance he is a robot and the tour is about more than winning as I said it's a French thing. So the economics are not important to us and many feel having Lance is just that big money wins not at all the sprit of the thing.
wow, you almost had me. That's hilarious. Good story. |

My Jr. High French tells me it should be "Les Aholes", since it's plural. And concerning Barese Riders comment "Im with the French, Lance brings back bad old memories to them and deserves to be treated under a cloud of suspicion." I can see how that might apply to Jan Ullrich, being German and all that. Let's see...Lance the American beat them at their treasured national sport...The German's beat their treasured nation. |

Then again, they financed part of the Revolutionary war for us, so maybe it's even. How about just letting us race? |
>This is what you Americans do not understand<
pedalhard - are you French, Canadian, or French Canadian. If it's the last two, you're also an American, as are those from the U.S. and Mexico. |

Pedalhard, it Lance is too robotic, maybe Contador will have to blow your mind this year. Not too confident that any French riders will inspire me this year...or the next.

To be precise, we saved them from the Germans twice and they only helped us in the American Revolutionary War because they hated the British.

My first hand experiences with French people have been good ones. |
Why is it that the obvious is lost on so many people?
The press do not speak for the majority in any country. They only claim to. I suppose the press would have us all believe that Americans can be pigeonholed as well. Nonsense. |
