I've always thought Armstrong doped; I also always thought he was just that much better than the rest of the guys riding the Tour. It wasn't like his chemist was that much superior to any other.

landis and his team were turned down in their request to ride in this week's tour of california.

prior to that, he had emailed threats to amgen (the sponsor) and aeg (the organizer) to make embarrassing disclosures about doping.

this is a guy who collected $1.5 million in donations to defend himself against doping allegations. something he's categorically denied until just this week. he's also admitted while making these current allegations that he has no other evidence. there won't be any follow up documentation. it's the same allegations that other's made in the past, without proof.

cycling has a doping problem. no question.

but floyd landis is no jose conseco.

Is Amgen really a cycling sponsor? LOL! How ironic.

Until someone can prove to me Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens really used steroids, I won't believe Lance Armstrong doped.

or this guy...

I'd REALLY like to believe lance is clean, he's just that much better than everyone else. he's the most tested rider and has no positive tests. i'd like to think that the chemo and radiation he went through turned him into a monster on a bike.
