Re: Cycling up L'Alpe d'Huez

Yes it's quite likely that Lance may start the Tour of Romandie as a warm up race for the Giro. He won't ride with any intention except for preparation and he may well not intend to finish. I'll be going anyway, to watch Mark Cavendish win a sprint.
Eire, It's a real shame that you are convinced that Lance was on drugs. It would be like branding everyone, including yourself, of being a murderer because no one has managed to find you guilty. Lance has been tested more than any living athlete. People are still testing his blood, from years ago, right now. He has always tested negative. Imagine how many people there are out there, that would love to find a positive test for any banned substance in one of Lances hundreds of samples. We are all innocent, until proven guilty, otherwise, we have to believe that all of our other heroes, including the Brilliant Stephen Roche. And What about Sean Kelly, surely you cant think that he wasn't clean. I know that keener eyed cyclist will see that my avatar, is of Tommy Simpsons Memorial. Things were different in those days. And I whole heartedly support all measure to clean up the sport, that has been the love of my life. Ban all guilty athletes for life and sequestrate all of their earnings to date. But lets not condemn the innocent.
