Well he has won six tour de frances in a row he is 34 years old and he is in a sport that is known to be one of the worst ones out there for doping. Drug tests mean nothing nowadays becaus there are steroids that don't even show up in blood or urine tests. So sue me for being a cynic, but it seems every friggin athlete is on performance enhancing drugs these days. You don't have to cry about it because I doubted your hero.
Lance Armstrong is not my hero and I wasn't crying.

I am impressed by what he's been able to do at the greatest cycling event in the world. I'm also impressed or have been impressed with other riders like Miguel Indurain and Jan Ullrich.

If doping is so prevalent in the sport doesn't that put everyone back on even footing then?
