Two of my favorite cyclists of all time. Both dopers. One is dead; the other, disgraced. But still...damn could those two boys race.

In the words of comedian Bill Burr: "Our roided up guy, beat your roided up guy!"

The problem with doping is either nobody does it or everybody has to do it.

But yes, those two put on a show. Cycling has had a number of great athletes.

...or this roided up guy is a tad more cunning than that roided up guy.

I suspect without a sophisticated doping program, few athletes stand a chance of competing in today's high stakes games.

Watching them race up that French mountain, Mont Ventoux, is one of my favorite YouTube videos ever.

Speaking of Youtube, here's an excellent doc on Pantini, the rise and demise.

I have nothing against athletes taking drugs or what ever. Of course, I am not so much into sports. But cheating, breaking the rules of the game? That is fraud and allowing it to happen is a bad example for kids and grown-ups can take a wrong hint.....

I find it peculiar that you find these guys great cyclists yet when a great black athlete is disgraced most people find all of their accomplishments completely devalued.

Lance Armstrong is a fraud and should be in prison. He defrauded the American people and people died believing in his cause.

Not surprising calamity would start a dedication thread for him. What's next? Bernie Madoff was a great investor thread?

Give me a break.
 
Lance Armstrong is a disgrace to all cancer survivors.

**** him.
 
Don't even get me started on the whole Tour de France things. France is a ****ing clown show. Everyone was doping, and if you weren't you had no game. Armstrong beat them anyway, is all. They should give him back every ****ing medal, and then go **** off.

Actually, I liked the little Italian guy in pink. He's hawt.

Sure. It's not like he was the only doper. He was just the best athlete of all the other dopers.

As a former competitive cyclist I admire their ability but Pantani did it as a serious coke head!

I think everyone in the tour should be allowed to dope freely.

Yep. I think it was the blow that did him in.
