Lance? Stripped of (almost) all results. Landis? Stripped of all results. Say what you like about Lance, but he's right about this: it's a bunch of bullshit.

All of this is indefensible, corrupt and ridiculous. Vino racing Tri is just one more example.


This ^^^^^^^

Also dont even mention LeMond.

What's wrong with LeMond? He was the cleanest cyclist ever. He said so. Highest VO2max of any living creature on Earth. He said so. I think his diet was organic veggies and H2O. I'm pretty sure he was the most gifted natural born cyclist of all time. After all, he said so.

You can't go back and take away titles. They were won. What are you going to do, scrub over 50% of the TdF record book? Seriously, it was the times, no one has to like it, but the races were contested and there was a podium. Because Lance and Landis were big meanies and liars only they have to be stripped? They don't dare touch the Euros.

Ragarding Vino.. ehh.. who cares? If he's clean according to protocol then he should get to race like every other contestant that is clean according to protocol. At some point you have to forgive the past and give another chance. You can't take away someone's life for errors they made trying to keep their job in a ruthless environment. It's riding a bicycle for God's sake. Plus, come on, is there anyone else who can make this event all about themselves with the same panache and foreign language innocence as Vino, and not come across as a smug, arrogant, English-speaking, self-promotion machine?
