Re: Lance Armstrong Doping Charges: USADA To Ban Cyclist For Life, Strip Him Of 7 Tou
Products do not give an athlete an edge. Technology does. There are many examples of this:
1) wood to carbon tennis racquets
2) steel to aluminum bikes
3) swimsuits to wetsuits
All athletes have changed their gear to keep up with the Jonses. Yet no one has claimed they jumped higher because of a pair of Air Jordans.
Not true at all. Companies market products exclusively to some athletes/teams/franchises ALL the time not allowing anybody else to use it.
