i'm gonna leave it to the docs to proove if he was indeed doped up or not, but it is not normal , that any athlete, can do a multiple week event of the magnitude of Tour de France ( Which is in it's own right allready heavy to the point where it's near impossible for anyone normal ), and right after that, he's winning a small thing in the Netherlands, and had signed up for another event in the netherlands, and one in Denmark

sure , he cancelled the other 2 events after the accusations, but he was going to do them ...

you have to admit that it's pretty weird to undergo, and win a brutal event like TDF , and then not even take 1 week vacation to recover from it.. especially considering he himself claimed he had a hip that required surgery withing weeks or months...

regardless of dope or no dope, it's not natural
and by that i mean , the whole tour, and the sport itself isn't natural...
