Here's a question for those suspecting Lance of doping due to his constantly winning. First, look at Jan Ullrich's results through the years: TDF 1st-1X, 2nd-5X, 4th-1X; Olympic gold-1X, Vuelta 1st 1X, and all sorts of other top results. And... testing positive for amphetamines one time. My question is this: If he gets these results yet is not suspected of doping, why is Lance suspected?

I saved newspaper aritcles of that last race together, and it's true. Hinault later said he was just preparing Greg for life at the top of the peloton.

Davis Phinney explains it well.

As much as I respect him, I can't wait for the guy to retire.
