[quote="marco"] How many times was Lance tested for Autologous or Homologous blood doping? er, none. How many times was he tested for EPO before Michele Ferrari gets his riders to switch to transfusions? er, none. How many times was he tested for HGH, er....you guessed it....None. (Interesting that he ended his career earlier than previously stated once a it became clear that he would be tested for homologous blood doping at the Athens olympics)
.....which eventually leads to more riders deaths like those suffered ...... Marco Pantani and also the large number of young riders who had from epo related deaths over the last decade.
How do you know how many times he was tested, or for what? Blood doping was what did for Tyler Hamilton so presumably LA would have been tested for the same seeing as he rode in the same Tour. Or do you think LA was only tested for blood/alcohol because he rode across a field and smacked into a spectator?
He ended his career in 2005 after his seventh TdF victory. Athens Olympics was in 2004.
Pantani died of acute cocaine intoxication. But hey, never let the facts (or a calendar) get in the way of a specious argument. Chuck enough verbage on a page and some of it will stick.
