Don't think there is jail time for drug use.

My question is if he is really sorry, will he donate the $120 Million (current worth) to charity because it was gained through deception and fraud? I doubt it. One thing to say you're sorry, another thing to show it.

Feel sorry for Cheryl Crow being married to this scumbag now.

Maybe he'll give to the Livestrong Foundation

Good, more people should take drugs.
Drugs rock.
Drugs are natural.
Drugs allows your brain to augment your physical deficiencies.

Like a statue of limitations or similar? This is a soft interview - should have gone with 60mins....but hang on they did not want to pay $16 mio for the story

I reckon jail. He had an insurance policy that paid him a six figure sum for each win of the tour de france. The took him to court to try and get out of paying (there was a clause about being found performance enhancing drugs) but because he had not been found out, they had to pay. Not only will he have to pay back (it was a lot of money) but he repeatedly perjured himself in US court (It was clearly stated he was under oath and if he lied was perjury etc) So he is FUBAR.

It was the four corners special. good watch. someone even hinted that his nut cancer may have been contributed to by the massive amounts of male hormones etc he was dosing himself with. almost ounded like he was the best because he did the most drugs - he really did heaps and heaps according to show more than teammates etc. pioneer in the taking and use

If he was getting away with it for so long how many others were doing the same and even riders before him like Greg Lemond

How bout he apologies to his massues who he said was lying, when she said she'd seen him doping, beacuse she was afraid the team would out here as whore..undre oath...the jurno's he intimidated and threaten...the team members and other athletes who he's ripped off by cheating and bull****ting...the more I hear about this guy the more I reckon he should be in jail only after apologising to all those people who's lives he has tried to ****

I'd like to see a drug tolerant olympics just to see how much every world record get's smashed by.

Err wut? The drug taking culture in cycling existed a long time before Lance, you can't realistically ride for 3 weeks, ~200km a day at the speed back then without taking something, it's just not physically possible; everyone knew it, it was basically 'accepted'. Lance and his team definitely took it to the next level in terms of their scientific approach to it but don't kid yourself that everyone else wasn't doing it and he certainly didn't pioneer it, not even close.

My personal opinion is that the best rider still won the tour in those years, proven by the fact that everyone else that was a challenger at that time has also been busted. An average rider just doesn't become that good by pumping in some EPO and doing a few transfusions, he's still a phenomenal athlete. He also trained specifically for the tour and spent a large portion of the year riding in the alps and Colorado specifically training for it. This differed some what from most of his competitors who rode a lot of the other grand tours/races etc, which he seldom did.

Is he a dickhead, yes, should anyone who knows cycling really be surprised, no. In my opinion the biggest problem with cycling is the UCI, they knew about it for years and did nothing, even before Lance's reign. They are a self regulated bunch of clowns.

What about Cadel?

The whole sport of long distance cycling is not natural. Once upon a time the Tour de France was normal when cyclists used to get a lift up the hill. Everyone did it so no one was disadvantaged. So what if he used drugs? The professional sports theory that taking drugs is cheating is a bit strange. Its wrong to take drugs but its okay to not have a real job and spend 12 hours a day training at the taxpayers expense. Training so hard and so long is just as unnatural as injecting some junk in your arm.

Cadel has been a great rider for years and struggled to take a win (TDF), but would have a couple more if it was not for other drug cheats. Cadel is clean as he has been affected by all the "Human" things that bring us all down in performance (fatigue and illness etc.)

Sure?

bit silly really these guys take all sorts of supplements and legal drugs

Of course. Have a look at footage from the tour between the late 90's and mid 00's when Cadel was one of only a handful of guys who weren't on the Juice.

He's easy to spot - he's the bloke at the back of the Peleton looking like his brakes are on

But now he has won one against druggies, he must be supercycleman

I dont get the whole performance enhancing arguement.

In AFL a lot of players cannt take the field by half way through the season without a buch of painkilling injections but thats not performance enhancing ???
