Lance was like the mafia. That's the part that gets me. I knew he was a prick, just didn't realize how big of a prick.
I was reading about what to do with his tour wins and who'd get them. Because of all of the doping, or links to doping, the 1999 general classification would go to Belgian Kurt van der Wouwer of Lotto-Mobistar. He was 11th, 23 minutes behind Armstrong. From 1996-2010, of the 45 podium positions, only 9 are without notation...so far.
