It was easy to be deceived. I remember during one of his last TDF wins the commentators were going on and on about the research showing L A's almost super human physical characteristics, extreme oxygen uptake, elimination of lactic acid, lung capacity, etc.
Were they trying to convince them selves or the listeners?

All of that plus his constant denile, straight into the face or camera. were quite convincing.

It was a great ride while it lasted. I think that most other competitors were doping also, but that still doesn't make it right.
I kind of like the idea that was brought up earlier. Make two classes, clean, and unlimited.
