That is what it is always about.


Except for the horrible Lance Armstrong sports story. He was targetted because they were mad an American Was so great. We all know that they all were doing steroids, but he will forever be known as the only one and is now a nobody.Different circumstances, but that was another sports story that enraged me.

I guess you don't follow cycling much Floyd Landis another American cycler was also a big time doper he was also a teamate of Amstrong which explains a lot.

Plus after the Lance Armstrong confession loads of retired European cyclists confessed to doping as well. Armstrong did get punished more severely however, but he commited crimes worse than doping. Most knowledgeable cycling fans will agree that pretty much every cyclist was doped during the Armstrong era. One of the few clean cyclists of that era would be Edwig van Hooydonck and he quit cycling in the nineties because he couldn't follow the peloton anymore all of a sudden (and he didn't want to take dope). 

Armstrong's arrogance caused his downfall. Had he never made a come-back, he would probably still be a 7-time Tour winner. 

Even nowadays I don't believe in clean cycling with the likes of Froome, Valverde, Contador, etc
