I too will always think of him as being a dignified patron of the

Yes, this is naive! Big Mig was a doper; he was once described as
'EPO perfected'. I sure as hell hope no one still believes Pantani
was clean! If they take Riis' title, they should take Pantani's as
well. Should Ullrich admit he doped too that would leave...HOLY
**** BOBBY JULICH AS THE VIRTUAL TdF champion! Considering the
scandal that year and his meteoric crash, I'd Julich was clean. Oh
my god my head's going to explode...........

This is why the entire concept of rewriting results is so stupid. If
they take
out Riis, who do they replace him with? Someone who we somehow know
to be clean?


I wonder how you would feel if you raced clean and lost Olympic Gold
or the Tour to a doper. I'd want justice and the medal.


New rule, proposed long ago - you did nothing wrong? Cast the first stone.
[notes to rule] - check your memory really really closely, first.


Damn Sandy, I could be the virtual TdF champion without having been there.
