LeMond finally triumphs...

[Cicero Venatio]

This was tougher than his two Tour victories but Greg LeMond has
finally re-achieved his goal as the only American to win the Tour de
France. Took more than a decade of work and 8 DQ's to finally
succeed. And before it all shakes out, Greg maybe the last legitimate
winner of the tdf, of any nationality.

Or alternatively there might *never* have been any legitimate winners.

Especially in a US election year.

Only one person will read your post and agree with it 100%.

Not sure if Greg lurks here though

It ain't over until all the lawyers get paid on their final invoices.
This could drag on for years.

Help me out here - do the victories of Pereiro and Schleck count as
real or virtual?

The UCI has contracted IBM to create a new supercomputer more powerful
than deep blue and big blue combined to keep track of the various
categories of virtual victories.

Greg Lemond fits the doper profile.
His father-in-law could have orchestrated Greg's sudden return to
form, mid-Giro, with or without Greg's knowledge or consent.

Unfortunately, there are no frozen samples to test, for Greg Lemond.

So we will never know-- but, those who really really want to can
BELIEVE. And that is what is important, believing in "legitimacy".

And yet, even if offered any imaginable enhancement, none of
us could outclimb him.

I believe you. He still fits the doper profile. And hey, how about
that taxpayer-funded witch hunt?

Yeah, what's the point? Especially considering Paul Erdos,
Tommy Simpson and Jacques Anquetil?

Speaking of drugs, how's that 100-year-old Heroin ban coming
along? Or marijuana imprisonment?

Anyone out there to defend any of that ?

Too much money is made by too many people in high places for the "War on
Drugs" to end. And to these sociopaths, damaging US society is a good
thing.

But the "War on Drugs" goes to prove that at heart the Republican and
Democratic Parties are fascist and not libertarian and liberal,
respectively, so there is one positive effect.

In honour of Lemond's uncle presumably.
