But, listen, Eddie Merkyx would have won six Tours if he hadn't been punched.
Truth is, a triathlete won the Tour de France seven times.
I can't support bike lanes.
The problem is not with the athletes, but with us. No matter how blatant the drug use may be, we don't stop watching the Tour de France. Maybe we should just turn off the television and get on our own bikes.
If Lance is clean, it is the greatest comeback in the history of sports. If he isn't, it would be the greatest fraud.
I symbolized doping... My phone rarely rings. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of riders who call me.
I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.
When I see pot-bellied cyclists wearing the 'maillot jaune,' it appals me.
To be honest, if I had to pick somebody to be related to in sport, who's better than Lance Armstrong with what he's done for the sport and with his cancer foundation?
Lance Armstrong has joined the legion of the lost, the great athletes who were barred or exiled for sins admitted or charged or suspected.
That period afterwards, just hating being the winner of the Tour de France, hating cycling, hating the media for asking me questions about Lance Armstrong.
