I don’t know if this has been posted in any of the Lance threads because I can’t read all of them. I know it hasn’t been mentioned in the thread about the book since I more or less kept up with that one. Anyway, for those that think all of Lance’s past TdF wins should roll down to Jens, here is a tweet exchange you’d be interested in.
tweeted by @melissagerman: What are you reading now, Jens? Any plans to read Tyler Hamilton’s “The Secret Race” or do you avoid cycling books?
Jens apparently tweeted back that he wasn’t.
tweeted by @dseddon1: Why not?
tweeted by Jens: Why not?!?! Because i was racing when he took drugs and cheated on lied to all of us. He lied to you, to me to the whe (whole) world.
tweeted by Jens: Why would I spend a second of my life to read about that???
If he’s been clean his whole career then I would completely understand his anger. Actually, I probably wouldn’t have a clue how angry he is. Because as strong as he’s always been as a rider, imagine how successful he probably would have been if the whole peleton was clean.
He struggled mightily a few years ago on German TV when asked about doping. I like the guy but he shouldn’t be a poster child for anti doping.
No bigger fan of Jens than me but he has been a pro cyclist for a long time and won stages against a doped up peleton so I’m thinking glass houses, throwing stones, etc…
Step away from the tweety machine, Jensee. Seriously.
I know. It’s sacrilege. I hate myself for doubting him. Would love to believe that he was always clean as a whistle but I need to grow up sometime.

no it’s not. The guy is from East Germany and joined a sports school in either 1985 or 1986.
These guys will all do like Lance. Lie until they can’t anymore. Or maybe they’ll remained untouched because people don’t care, I don’t know.
It’s mind boggling. Frankly, it’s not even the doping that disgusts me. They all did. We all know (unless you’re h2ofun and you’re completely
stupid). It’s how much further it was pushed, and the winning at ALL cost. I’ve never seen someone pushing all his friends under the bus so
quickly. Hey sorry dude, you are of no use to me anymore, bammm gone.
I am sure Jens doped. Ulrich doped. But when Tyler talks about Ulrich, you still think he’s a good guy. You sure can’t read his book (unless your
livestrong blinders are on) and still love LA.

I like the guy more and more as time goes by.

I am sure he does not have to read about all the doping in the tour, he is well aware of it, and if he wanted to see it up close, he just needed a mirror.

No, I think h2ofun thinks he doped, but he thinks it is okay. I also think he thinks it’s okay if they lie about it forever.

You also can’t say that someone “is coming clean” when they do so at such a time when they no longer have anything to lose an , in fact, have something to gain by spilling the beans.
