Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 6 | Americans are becoming a force in cycling. I think OLN commentators said the US has eight wins in a row and 11 of the last 21 Tour de France races. |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 112 | I doubt doping with be a problem. I heard that the people of Europe are embracing him and he is very popular because he came from a menonite family, and was a farmer, which is apparently a lot of European fans of cycling. Also his name isn't Lance.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 6 | Greg LeMond (USA) in 1986, 1989, and 1990. Lance Armstrong (USA) in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. Floyd Landis (USA) in 2006. * France has won it 36 times. I have a feeling we are going to catch up to them. |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 75 | so dumb, how could you get caught with test? you and your trainer (or wherever) should know the half-life of this stuff. how could you put such a title on the line with such carelessness. (this is of course, if he really did take test)

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 6 | I have a question.... What kind of test allows you to race an incredible race the day after you bonk? It just doesn't make sense to me. |
