7 Tour de France victories and a cheat

[Gazzer]

All his sponsors may have a claim for the return of their sponsorship money. It will be years before it gets sorted ..if ever.
But if the sponsors have benefited in the glory years would they have a claim ?
I think one thing is clear though that he did help with his cancer charity.

I am sure he is not the last to get caught in any sport. They seem to think its worth the risks.......I dunno.

Not saying they weren't but it would be difficult to prove it now I would think. There was always a lot of smoke about Armstrong but who was going to step out and say it publicly? A bit like the Jimmy Savile case, so many people must have known about it but the power he wielded kept them quiet, same with Amstrong.

There were plenty of people who stepped up told what was going on, and he sued them, cost some honest people hunderds of thousands dollars in legal fees.

The guy needs locked up

its been proven that most of the podium finish cyclist for years have in one way or another been caught doping.,
the last winner to never be connected with drugs was greg lemond and that was in 1990.
the cyclist get caught more because the get checked more and fundamentally a massive percentage is doping so you need to , to win anything, last years race was probably mostly clean ,and you could tell because it was a bore
i imagine if they checked other sports people as much as they check cyclists we would all get a shock

But think of all the good he did for medical research - a human rat and he's still alive to see the results.

With the exception of the man himself does that fact that he cheated really affect anyone else too much..... Does it really matter...

I guess it matters to the "clean" cyclists that trained for years and have been denied fame and fortune by someone cheating.
