Default Re: Landis admits doping

I have been passionate about professional cycling for 25+ years. All of my modern era favorites have all been accused of doping. Does it bring them down from my pedastel? Not at all. Pantani will always be a God. Seeing Ullrich climb a mountain in a big chain ring, epic!

There is a lot of betting, mafia, and big money involved with pro cycling. Bribery and deceit are common. Why do you think teams are so fanatical about where their water and food comes from while in a race? Coppi was poisoned and Merckx was "asked" not to ride the Giro...

Hamilton alluded to writing a book to expose all of this and I hope he does.

I am beyond whether someone has doped or not. It's tough no matter what and I like the show. As far as I am concerned; pass the test and you're good. The testing has to be beyond reproach and has never been. Until there's that dubious shadow over the testing and governing of cycling, there will be credible suspicion.
