If he was clean then was an idiot for working with Dr Ferrari ... !!! Working with him has created alot of the scepticism about his achievements .

No you fool that is incorrect. There are many different types of corticosteroids, but the trace amounts found in Lances NEGATIVE test were of cortisone, not cortisol. Very different. On a side note, you say cortisol increases "glucogen" production? There is no such thing as glucogen. Remember, you need to copy from your wikipedia articles carefully ok. Cortisone (NOT cortisol) has no proven effect on performance, and suppresses the immune system resulting in a high chance of getting sick

There is protection for top US athlete's. Are you old enough to know FloJo? I photograhed her in LA 84, then some freak turned up in Seoul and won everything. Different human. Won loads of gold. Never ran after, no more money. Because warned off the sport.

micklee2604 - what rubbish. If you believe the most tested athlete in the history of any sports somehow managed to avoid testing positive for near enough 10 years, you are mad.

Look just because he did'nt get caught does'nt mean he did'nt do it !!! Ullrich was doing it for years and getting away with it . Bjarne Riis won the tour and was'nt caught but later admitted he was on epo ! Lance would've had to be superman to win 7 tours when all his rival were on drugs !!!

You can believe all the urban legends, innuendos, heresay claims etc. Some people are too intellectually lazy to learn the facts about subjects they claim they are well informed on. If you choose to place a blanket label of doping over all top riders in the past 20 years because it makes you feel warm and fuzzy about your factless based positions, enjoy the ignorance. It is your comfort zone. Armstrong never tested positive and was the most dominating climber and ITTer the Tour has seen. :-)
