My NW Seven Cycle...Oldie but man do I love this bike

Without the new wheels which I've ridden once. Don't know how I feel yet about their climbing characteristics.

You guys hear about USADA going after Lance? I guess they're afraid of him winning Kona.

When is this witch hunt bullshit gonna end? Quotes from an article about this:

“These charges are a product of malice and spite and not evidence,” Robert D. Luskin, Armstrong’s Washington-based attorney, said in a telephone interview Wednesday. “Nothing else explains the fact . . . they allege an overarching doping conspiracy among four teams over 14 years and Lance is the only rider that gets charged.”

The letter further claims that Martial Saugy, the director of an anti-doping lab in Switzerland, stated that Armstrong’s urine sample results from the 2001 Tour of Switzerland indicated EPO use.

Saugy told The Post last year that Armstrong’s sample was merely “suspicious,” a designation that meant it could not be called positive. Further analysis with modern methods might bring clarity, Saugy said, but the sample no longer exists.

“We did not do the additional analysis. It will never be sufficient to say, in fact, it was positive,” Saugy said in an interview with The Post. “I will never go in front of a court with that type of thing.”

It's such Bullshit.
You know how I know he's clean?

He's fricking American killing people in a French bicycle race.

Not one drug screen wasn't heavily scrutinized by the French at every level


They would have traded the Eiffel Tower for a dirty pee test from Lance in his streak. Period!

I agree 100%. As the old saying goes, he may be an asshole, but he's our asshole.

Nobody is beyond suspicion in the world of competitive sports. I wish I could trust Lance's word, but he was smart enough to stay a couple steps ahead of the testing.

It may or may not be true that he doped, did hgh, test, etc... But if he was so were his competitors , and where is all the scrutiny there?

This is a vendetta against Lance and American cycling, and it's disgusting.

I mean, the guy is retired and trying to do a tri for ****'s sake.
