    I completely and utterly agree with that quote in the sense no matter how many people where cheating it doesn't make it right.

    That whole interview he does is brilliant, admittedly it was before he was proven to be guilty (we should agree to disagree on that one).

    I agree with that, but it wasn’t really my point
    It depends on your definition of ‘clean’ but I was talking about legal, within the rules, supplements, not the talking of banned drugs

    If you and dennis continue in, frankly, a Brian Rix like farcical set of exchanges, will you be handed 3 year banning orders from the KCOM, including other events such as the Lance Armstrong Comeback Tour Talk, with Special Guest Sir Bradley Wiggins? (Date yet to be confirmed)

    Claiming to have a condition so you can then take drugs which can give a performance boost is reprehensible. The fact so many of these asthma attacks coincide with a big race and enable the granting of a TUE stretches the bounds of credibility.

    I've found the articles fascinating by kimmage, Samuel, Matt Lawton , Walsh and the guardian. Really well written stuff.
    Just been reading about dodgy Dave brailsford. How big this could be with him been in charge of the Olympic team. From two gold medals in 2004 to the most successful medal winners at 2008 and 2012. Hmm.

    When Walsh wrote a book about Armstrong it didn't sell in the USA as they just didn't want to know.
    Wonder if the British public are the same.

    Agreed,
    And if that was proven then he would have broken the rules and stripped of the title
    ...but it wasn’t and he hasn’t been

    This is the start.
    Surely with the tours history you must be a little sceptical?
    The Jiffy bag, the missing lap top. The most on the ball, marginal gains, takes the same mattress around with them to ensure a proper nights sleep, operation yet they're so slapdash and didn't keep records!! Gtf

    Strange how records of drugs taken in such a monitored sport go missing. As did details of Mo Farah's injection before his London half marathon win.

    Of course I’m sceptical
    But, without drifting into politics, I’m not going to get excited about an opinion expressed by a group of politicians
    The sports ruling body seem to be saying no rules have been broken. That might change, but as it stands then my view is the rules are where the focus should if things need to be changed

    Why do the rules not deal with that?

    And David millars opinion? Or kimmage or Walshs? The two who took years of abuse when they went after Armstrong? Before been vindicated.

    I don’t know.
    The rules, at a glance, seem that they need to be reviewed to check they’re fit for purpose

    Why wouldn't they, if they are perfectly legal and not covered by TUE (So use is recorded in medical and other management records). It's not often you see Lucozade in a jiffy bag...

    I’ve only seen the one you posted, and can’t remember exactly what was said

    Are they saying that the rules were broken?
