...And now the doping accusations start to fly...

Well, it looks like Lemond is heading the charge -- again -- questioning whether Contador is dirty or not...

Personally, I think they're all dirty in one way or the other.

Anyone better than Lemond is obviously doping. Obviously. Even Eddie Mercx. I'm sure he was doping too.

Lemond should've stuck to making frames.

The fact is not who is dopped..but how they hide it...because they're all dopped at this level.

True. Everyone at that level puts "stuff" in their bodies, it's just a question of who puts stuff that happens to be legal or "toes the line" better, as well as who can conceal it. There's very much a "battle behind the battle" of chemical warfare going on.

Actually, a few years back, Eddie Merckx admitted himself that he has used illegal stuff a few times back in the days.


+1 on the stock and modified class

That's the issue I have. Why prove it? Who cares? I would think that if the doping portion were removed from the overall equation for all the riders, he'd still be on top.

A guy at my LBS told me the doping is necessary - to protect their vital organs (heart, lungs, etc) against failure under the stress of the competition.

I'm not sure if I buy that...

Still, I think many, if not all of them, are doping. Some simply hide it better than others, as Zef said.

Greg LeMonde, who was born and raised in California, actually DOES write a column about the TdF in the French national newspaper, Le Monde (The World).

Yes LeMond is a French surname, but that doesn't mean he's French.
