Lance Armstong is my number one hero. The man came back from cancer in the lungs, testicles, brain, and behind the eyes to win the Tour de France 6 times in a row. This year being his 7th and final year. I wont miss a minute of this year either. AND he has a hot girlfriend.

the girlfriend doesn't matter to me lol... but i do love all of his accomplishments... i'll be glued to the tour de france the entire race

he siad at the bottom thanks yahoo thats a give away lol

my heros my dad hes always been there for me and taught me how to do every thing. now hes just jeallos of me cause i shot 1 more turkey than him this year and catch more fish

I was just pointing out the obvious

alright, here is what ifound online..

Lance has taken the drug EPO, which used to be a common steroid like drug used for cycling, but he had a medical excuse to use it.
in 1999, he tested positive for Corticoid, Emma O'Reilly, a key staff member of the US Postal team at the time and who was present when the team discussed what to do about the positive tests, has declared to various media outlets that the saving prescription was actually a doctored one fabricated with the express purpose of deceiving Tour officialsyet he still had a doctors excuse for that too. Armstrong's favorite doctor has been Michele Ferrari whom Bicycling magazine calls without hesitation "cycling's doctor most suspected of doping athletes". Dr. Ferrari is currently on trial in Europe for allegedly supplying riders with performance-enhancing drugs. Far from distancing himself from Dr. Ferrari, Armstrong has defended his association with him and gone as far as physically threatening riders who have decided to testify against Dr. Ferrari.

kostas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou were greek sprinters who too always passed their tests...yet they were found out to be using performance enhancing drugs their entire careers.

when lance came down with the cancer, 2 other members of his team had also come down with terminal ilnesses, who then sued the us coaches for injecting them with performance enhancing drugs that ended up ruining their career. Among the coaches alleged to have injected the drugs was Chris Carmichael who is Lance Armstrong's long-time training coach.

also, in 1998 lance ultimately stopped racing altogether after abandoning a Paris-Nice race exhausted and looking very much as one would expect a man who has undergone cancer treatment to look. At that point, Armstrong went into seclusion with coach Chris Carmichael and emerged the next year to win the Tour de France. 1 year from not being able to finish a race not nearly as rigorous as the tour, and winning it the next year after being in suclusion..

not to mention almost every other top racer thinks he uses drugs. That guy from that fearless show on oln, the one who got shot with a shotgun in the shoulder, and he came back to win, said there is no way that lance could have done what he did, and is almost positive lance uses drugs as well.


there, i have officially done my research.. lets see yours...

how can you say hes always passed his tests when he has failed 2? im not saying for sure that he is an illegal user, im just not ruling out that possibility

no he didn't. you said no google . nothing was ever mentioned about yahoo. i think you owe that man some money

But if you want to get technical, Yahoo Search is powered by Google.
