Complete video at: fora.tv/2007/07/04/A_Conversat on_with_Lance_Armstrong Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong discusses issues surrounding the use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports. ----- Bob Schieffer interviews Lance Armstrong at the 2007 Aspen Ideas Festival. Some of the most inspired and provocative thinkers, writers, artists, business people, teachers and other leaders drawn from myriad fields and from across the country and around the world all gathered in a single place - to teach, speak, lead, question, and answer at the 2007 Aspen Ideas Festival. Throughout the week, they all interacted with an audience of thoughtful people who stepped back from their day-to-day routines to delve deeply into a world of ideas, thought, and discussion. Lance Armstrong is a retired American professional road racing cyclist. He won the Tour de France - cycling's most prestigious race - seven consecutive times, from 1999 to 2005. In doing so, he beat the previous records of five wins by Miguel Indurain (consecutive) and Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx and Jacques Anquetil. Previous to this achievement he also survived testicular cancer, a germ cell tumor that metastasized to his brain and lungs in 1996. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery, and extensive chemotherapy. Armstrong's athletic success and dramatic recovery from cancer inspired him to commemorate his accomplishments, with Nike, through the Lance Armstrong Foundation, a charity founded in 1997. The foundation's yellow rubber "Livestrong" wristbands, first launched in 2004, have been a major success, netting the foundation more than $60 million dollars in the fight against cancer, while helping Armstrong become a major player in the nonprofit sector. These achievements have at times been clouded by allegations that Armstrong used performance enhancing drugs to achieve some of his wins. However, no conclusive evidence has been presented to verify these allegations, which he vigorously denies, and Armstrong has never failed a doping test. Bob Lloyd Schieffer is an American journalist who has been with CBS News since 1969, serving 23 years as anchor on the Saturday edition of CBS Evening News from 1973-1996; chief Washington correspondent since 1982, moderator of the Sunday public affairs show Face the Nation since 1991, and, between March of 2005 and August 31, 2006, interim weekday anchor of the CBS Evening News. Katie Couric, formerly of NBC's The Today Show, succeeded Schieffer as anchor on September 5, 2006.

Over the last 36 years I have never once met a single person who gives one rats ass about guys riding bikes. Now that we know they cheat everyone cares even less. It ruins sports.

Yes your right, their using red cow cells. He says "ten years of steroid use is just not good for you." Yeah thats probably what they told him when he came in with golfball sized tumors in his lungs and brain and told them all the drugs he was on when they went over his medical history.

42 world records broken in the 2008 olympics. Many of them shattered. Team pursuit record shattered. Under the new "clean" bio passport PR campaign Great Britain blasts the hell out of whatever they could ever do before. And Eufemiano Fuentes the pope of dope, is walking free and apparently back to doping athletes. People said Jesus Manzano was lying, did he lie about Fuentes? If its so easy to be caught, why is there a continuous steady stream of positive tests?
mustardjunkie (September 19, 2008 at 4:42 pm)
Frequently? 90% of the field is on EPO and like 5 guys get caught? It seems most positives now are for cocaine and meth instead of PED's... like The hour record holder or boonen... Look at the olympics, the top 3 guys in some cases all shatter the old world record. Is that "cleaning up"?

Did you not hear Lance Armstrong in this video talking about how he was required to give a sample as he was walking out the door with his wife to give birth to twins? Doesn't sound like he was prewarned of their coming. Again, the body cannot be flushed with saline for example in a homologous transfusion, one of the more common doping methods. There is no evidence that cortisone increases performance, nor insulin. And humans can't use cow blood, only cow haemoglobin. Subtle distinction.

Cheaters using EPO are caught fairly frequently. Look at Ricardo Ricco's case, in that example the drug testers were one step ahead of the dopers. And I'm pretty sure that there is no solid evidence that insulin enhances performance.
mustardjunkie (September 18, 2008 at 3:41 pm)
IN Summary: Saline is administered as soon as the team manager is informed strait non corrupt testers are coming, These drugs used: steroids, cortisone, amphetamines, chemo boosters RSR-13, Interleukins, insulin, peptide hormones, thyriod drugs, asthma, and blood boosting, cow blood, insulin, hGH, eGH, IGF, most corticoids, female hormones and estrogen blockers, heamopure, oxyglobin, etc. etc.

Victor Conte is laughing,"Testing is a joke." Eight years ago, Walter Yesalis and UCLA labratory chief Don Catlin were asked independently how much money it would take for research to really fight doping, and both said the figure would be in excess of $50 million.The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency spends roughly $2 million a year on research.Because professional sports have never paid, testers are too far behind in the fight to catch cheaters who use EPO,insulin,insulin-like growth factor and hGh...
