I agree with and feel the same way regarding doping and those riders who don’t. I can’t blame them for feeling cheated from a living in their careers as riders. These are the riders who we as amateurs can admire and make clean examples of to our children.thanks to guys like bikepure and lemond something fruitful might be done.

Very true John, how many champions have not been able to achieve their full potential as athletes because they were overshadowed by a rider who doped?

Having just read the biography of Lemond’s great rival from 1989, Laurent Fignon, it’s clear that Lemond wasn’t the only cyclist whose career was cut short by the onset of EPO abuse. It must have been so galling for these champions to be struggling in a peloton with riders with a fraction of their class. I guess, I’m just glad that they didn’t succumb to the temptation.

Lemond does get a fair amount of abuse, but I think this is due to elements of the media. How many former pro’s who have won so much speak about their concerns about doping? Not many! It’s called omerta.
