Comment by Concernedad on July 23, 2013 at 3:07pm: It's not just the PEDS possibly causing the cancer, but if you have testicular cancer, certainly there are hormones you are having prescribed, therefore Lance got a bit of a pass on how he was tested.

I paid no attention to the Tour this year, and usually I follow it closely. Lost interest.

Now to baseball. Obviously the MLB has little interest in having all the top players exposed so are treading very lightly on who and how players get punished. I'm sure this whole recent mess was something they would have happily swept under the carpet if they could have. Hurts the sport tremendously when it is released that all the top players are cheating. Then you have a guy like Chris Davis and how can you not be convinced he's doping? Suddenly, inexplicably, his bat speed improved on its own?

Comment by DramaSoul on July 20, 2013 at 2:56pm: Concernedad...There was a suggestion not too long ago by a physician that the use of PEDs prior to his cancer might have actually contributed to it. I know that he was given EPO while going through chemo. I remember Lance before cancer and after. He was an incredible Triathlete prior to taking up just cycling. He also has a freaky lung capacity (the highest they had tested when he was in his late teens). He was performing unbelievably well before and yes...he certainly took it to a new level after.

Comment by DramaSoul on July 20, 2013 at 2:49pm: Dan...This year's Tour has been exciting and fun to watch. While Chris Froome of SKY has had it locked up for the last several days with a 5 minute lead, the race for the rest of the podium has been great. There are new young cyclists coming up from the all over the world. As far as I can tell at this time, it appears that 90% of the cyclists are clean. Because it's the 100th Tour, the stages have been sooo difficult and challenging (who ever heard of going up l'Alpe-d'Huez TWICE??). The oldest rider this year is a favorite of mine who is riding for the US team RadioShack...Jens Voight who is 41 and still going strong. He had a horrible crash a couple of years ago and it's amazing to see him still able to compete at this high level and helping to train the next generation of cyclists.

I would say that it appears the playing field is more level. There are still those who look for an edge in doping and testing is always behind in trying to catch the latest PEDs. I guess it will be ever thus...no matter what sport.

Comment by Concernedad on July 20, 2013 at 2:47pm: As long as the money is there, so will people be looking for ways to cheat. Lance's problem was his arrogance.

Personally, my belief was, once he got testicular cancer, there was no way he wouldn't be on steroids. Just a "coincidence" he started performing better after his cancer than before.

Comment by Dan on July 20, 2013 at 1:13pm: I thought that it was an issue with a non frenchman winning for so many years, I was suprised that they were correctly pointing the finger at him.

It is sad that an honest competitor feels that they do not have a chance and you must cheat to win.

Hopefully they will get this all straightened out and truly level the playing field for all cyclist.

Comment by DramaSoul on July 19, 2013 at 10:24pm: Concernedad....They have been doping since the beginning of Le Tour. There was a British cyclist in the '60's who collapsed going up Mont Ventoux and later died. The autopsy showed he had amphetamines in his system which contributed to the dehydration that ultimately killed him.

I understand Lance's comments and I know it was true that they vacated all the years he won and could not find someone clean on whom to bestow the Maillot Jeune. He certainly took doping to a new level. I tried so hard to believe his denials and defended him. His arrogance and George Hincapie admitting it as well finally got to me. (George was a fave of mine.) I am not a Barry Bonds fan either. These guys think they are so much better than everyone that they can get away with anything they want. I have zero respect for any of them.

Comment by Concernedad on July 18, 2013 at 11:14am: In truth, Lance didn't create the debacle. He was just like Barry Bonds in that he was one of the many doing the same thing, but it's the best who gets the attention.

He had a quote, something to the effect of, "it was impossible to win the Tour in my era without doping"

Pretty accurate. The year he was booted, so was the second place winner...and the third place guy and so on.

Like major league baseball right now, except the French were pushing to slam Armstrong, whereas major league baseball does their best to cover it up

Comment by DramaSoul on July 16, 2013 at 4:18pm: The Tour de France (I love Le Tour...in spite of the debacle Lance created. Been following it since 1972!)? The All-Star Game? Otherwise it's just work, work, work!
