Lance is , and will be forever a legend

If he took stuff to get better then it's fair that he gets stripped of his titles.

You have no idea how it feels for the people who are not cheating when they are outrun/biked by people they know are cheating...

He's never failed a drug test though

this is bullshit

[Itachi_Crow]

he isnt proven guilty, he just said he was tired of the USADA acting like a bunch of cunts and that he was done putting up with them

they took that as an admission of guilt

[Jimbojib]

Is this actually recognised by the tour de france even?

or is it just USADA?

I'm not sure how they would have authority over a foreign organization and I highly doubt they would submit to that.

I am not 100% sure of the backstory to this, but if he has failed all drug tests (as in no drugs found) then the people that keep making him take them really look like whiny babies to me.

Its like beating someone in a game right in front of them and they accuse you of cheating. They look fucking retarded.

Very few cyclists don't use PEDs, and I can guarantee you all of the top ones do. Everyone is "cheating" therefore the playing field is actually fair. All top athletes in physically demanding sports use PEDs.

also known as 'USADA who the fuck do you think you are, trying to take titles that you have no jurisdiction over'

He didn't fail any, he passed them all (as in, using it the right way round :v: )

apparently the UCI (the only governing body able to take away his wins) recognises his 7 wins as wins

[bord2tears]

The USADA are being cuntbags about this. He has never failed any drug tests. Does anyone know if any fellow cyclists have come out in support/opposition of this ruling?
