Lance Armstrong is awesome. His comeback from cancer and his determination to win the Tour de France is definitely the story films are made of. He won the Tour de France a record 7 times in a row and not without coming from behind many times.
However, after his last win this past July the Frence newspapers accused him of doping, basing their judgment on stories from people who had been close to Armstrong in some capacity or other but who later left his employ before they got fired or were actually fired....who knows why? I find it difficult to believe that Armstrong would jeopardize the fantastic accomplishments he had achieved by doping. With all the testings made thruout the Tour it would be stupid for anyone to think they could slip thru unnoticed. My personal opinion is considered the sources and the fact that it was an American and not a Frenchman who conquered. Would the issue of doping, true or untrue, have been brought up by the French press had a Frenchman won the last Tour? I think not. What do you think?

For me Lance Armstrong is one of the greatest sportsman of the world just remember that he fights a cancer. The Frenchman are always to be the best, that´s why I don´t like them. I agree with your theory.

Thanks braveheart. I agree with your assessment of the French, especially where the Tour de France is concerned. I haven't checked so I don't know how many Frenchmen have won the Tour. I know they didn't like it when Greg LeMond won it either. I guess they are just envious. The only outstanding Frenchman I remember of the recent tours is Virenque but he really didn't have much of a team behind hime. Oh well, Viva Armstrong...may the Frenchmen leave him alone as most of the rest of the world has done. Thanks from dropping by.

Your response somehow doesn't seem to fit into the discussion. If I were you I would pay more attention to the discussion topic and make serious comments rather than just trying to earn more. I am not laughing and I think that you should be the one to move on.
