I ve read a few of the books mentioned lance to landis bad blood kimmages book, however it seems that there are a number of questions that require answering, However there was an article in pro cycling suggesting the LA now has a duty never to come clean too much charity money coming in too many people seeing him of what’s possible when fighting the big C. If hes caught then all this disappears in smoke. Is that worth him losing a jersey to a second place chap who was likely doped too?
Doped or not to win seven tours on the trot is amazing, the epo or what ever is really only magnifying what’s naturally there.
Personally I think re-transfusing your own blood mid stage to keep( fresh hence the very stable hemrocrate (sp) levels )throughout the tour seems to be the new epo or doping system. That’s how contrador has been caught out with the residue of plastics in his blood more damming than the traces of the drug in my mind.
I do hope guess it’s the kid orfan in me he is never proven dirty however
Either way what an amazing competitor and for all the reports a vicious chap to cross on or off the bike, I’d like to meet him but I guess he would be my sort of chap people that driven in my experience are often not warm and fuzzy.
