Haters gonna hate. TJ is the only American cyclist to ever take part in the tour who isn't testifying against Lance, right?

Interesting to see that Nike are going to keep sponsoring him. Obviously when it comes to selling shit to the average Joe, his status as the guy who beat cancer is way more important than the fact that he's basically admitted to doping. I can't remember who it was, but someone's response to his decision not to enter into arbitration was "What does Lance fear more than losing 7 tours?" I guess the answer is losing his sponsorship deals.

[600#gorilla]

supposedly he helped raise $500,000,000 to help fight cancer.

all the athletes are doping.

how bout that Usain Bolt?

how bout all those rock climbers?

doping, dude.

[slim]

I agree with all this. But Usain Bolt? I dunno man. I dunno.

DOPING.

all the athletes are doing it.

stop all the testing.

even if you started doping at your prime,

you probably couldn't win the tour

win the 100 meter dash

climb like Sharma

hit like Mcguire and Sosa

surf like Kelly

play like Tiger

and Lebron

and on and on

etc, and so forth.

well,

maybe?

Who is watching this year?

I admit to it and the drama has been decent.

[600#gorilla]

i think we're all watching ANW.

all those cyclists are on dope.

[evil temptress]

It has been a very interesting tour.

I still hate Alberto.

I can't help but wonder if he and Cavendish were never doping, as they are the ones who have made a decent transition to this new "stricter" tour. The Schleck bros? They were probably all hopped up on dope because they aren't even a factor anymore.

[evil temptress]

I think the Schlecks may have just not lived up to the hype.

Contador ate puppies and kittens with his EPO.

[RockPharmer]

Everybody's doing it.

[Lox]

Uhhh... Froome's name is the sound an engine makes. Of course he's going to be fast.

[evil temptress]

Mont Ventoux!
