What do all you cycling fans think of the latest tour? I hated it when Rasmussen got kicked out, I liked him.......same with vinokourov, although I predicted he was doping, same with Floyd Landis last tour......

Reckon they (the authorities )should let them take as many drugs as they want all completely disclosed!
Instead of king of the mountains you can have the fattest joint section and the longest line jumper etc !!
Bet Red Ken Livingstone is glad he payed out all that ratepayers money to have the race started in London!

Pantani setting the fastest time up the Alpe d'Huez in 1997 was the best thing I'd ever seen in cycling......  or was it?  I hate that nagging doubt about so much of what I've seen in the Tour.
 
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

lol I was only 5 when Pantani did that alpe D'huez magic, do you think Lance Armstrong was doping? I like to think he didn't but really I'm quite a cynic and think everyone is doping until proven otherwise...........I'm really just a recent convert to the sport, did you see that huge crash, something like 20 riders got totalled.......

If Armstong were to come out tomorrow and say he was doping im sure there would be no one that was suprised. What he did was remarkable and i really do like to think he wasnt doing it.
 
Le Tour De Pharamcy!
 
Personally was glad to see the response in regards to Rasmussen and T-Mobile etc etc for to long its being something thats been keep quiet.
we dont hear of much doping in football, i wonder why that is, im sure they have acess to the same 'dietry professionals' that the guys in athletics and cycling have. maybe they get found out before they make it to the top?
