Armstrong že tekmuje, Merckx mu stoji ob strani: "To je nepravično."

LA bo ostal legenda, ne glede na UCI, WADO,...kje so pa razni Ulhrlichi in ostali porabniki "Droge Portorož". Edi ima jajca in se postavi za svojega kamerda...bravo!

upam, da se najde še kakšen izmed aktivnih kolesarjev in pove, da je brezveze tekmovati in zmagovati na TDF, če ti potem zmago odvzamejo ker nisi francoz. :))))))

Se ne čudim, da mu stoji ob strani :D

"Merckx has condemned doping but he tested positive three times.[4] The first time was in the 1969 Giro d'Italia[6] where he tested positive for the stimulant Reactivan at Savona, after leading the race through 16 stages. He was expelled from the Giro. The controversy began to swirl when his test results were not handled in the correct manner, they were released to the press before all parties (Merckx and team officials) involved were notified.[49] Merckx was very upset, and to this day, protests his innocence.[6] He argued there were no counter-experts nor counter-analysis. He said the stage during which he was allegedly using drugs was easy so there was no need. He said:"

"Merckx was also found positive after winning the Giro di Lombardia in 1973.[6] He had taken Mucantil (Iodinated glycerol).[52]
It was Dr Cavalli, of Molteni, who prescribed it to me a bit lightly [un peu lég?rement]. And he admitted his error publicly. Looking back, I can't see why they could disqualify me for such a ridiculous and inoffensive product as norephedrine."[6]

Then he was caught after taking Stimul (pemoline) in the 1977 Fl?che Wallonne. Merckx said:
"That, I can't deny. I was positive along with around 15 others. I was wrong to trust a doctor."[6]"

1974, a Belgian biochemist, Professor Michel Debackere, perfected a test for a group of piperidine stimulant drugs (Lidepran, Meratran, and Ritalin) which were used by pro cyclists. Since they were now detectable, this group of drugs fell out of favor within the pro peloton, and some riders instead used pemoline, another amphetamine-like drug. Then in 1977, Debackere once again developed a new drug test, which could detect pemoline. This test caught three of the biggest names in Belgium: Merckx, Freddy Maertens and Michel Pollentier.[53]

The World Anti-Doping Agency removed norephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, from the list of banned drugs in 2004;[6] however, this drug is currently on the WADA list of banned substances and therefore would garner a suspension of current riders.[54] Merckx said in 2007 that he wanted the Union Cycliste Internationale to give him back his victory: "I was disqualified for taking a syrup which had been taken off the list of forbidden products." At the time, 1973, banned drugs were listed individually; they were later classed by category.

Because of his doping record, the organisers of the 2007 World Championships in Stuttgart asked Merckx to stay away. The decision was criticized in the press and by the UCI.[55] When he confirms his stance against doping, Merckx points out that cycling is unfairly treated compared to other sports.

"In the 1990s, he became a friend of Lance Armstrong, and supported him when Armstrong was accused of drug use, stating he rather "believed what Lance told him than what appeared in newspapers"."

OK, zbrismo LA iz zgodovine. Super! Ocistimo sport dopingirancev!

Treba bo popravit kar zajetno kolicino knjig in spletnih strani. Pa zacnimo. Prosim a & a za pomoc.

Najprej se lotimo TdF 1999-2005. Torej novi zmagovalci so:

 1999 Alex Zülle (Switzerland)     (Banesto)
 2000 Jan Ullrich (Germany)     (Team Telekom)
 2001 Jan Ullrich (Germany)     (Team Telekom)
 2002 Joseba Beloki (Spain)     (ONCE-Eroski)
 2003 Jan Ullrich (Germany)     (Team Bianchi)
 2004 Andreas Klöden (Germany)     (T-Mobile Team)
 2005 Ivan Basso (Italy)     (Team CSC)

Hmm, bo tole zdaj v redu? Kar precej skupnega imajo tile decki. Festina, dohtarja s Freiburske univerzitetne klinike, Manolo Saiz, Puerto... Ampak ne, ne, ne, teli so d gud guys. Siti smo ze LA. Pa kdo sploh misli, da je? Saj res, pa sploh, kdo je ta klovn? Sem ze pozabil.

Kdo kdaj pomisli, da so se mogoče določeni ljudje začeli špikat ravno zaradi Armstronga, če uporablja on zakaj ne bi še mi, ker itak nihče nič ne naredi? 

@amritaya:

... ravno zaradi Armstronga ... 

Pa res ... ta baraba, LA, je izumil in uvedel doping ... 
Kako lepo je bilo, preden je prišel na sceno in doping še ni obstajal ....  

www.delo.si/mnenja/kolumne/ar mstrong-vrh-ledene-gore.html

ljudje kot je LANCE ARMSTRONG so peljali svet v zgodovini naprej, takšni ljudje so vedno imeli na svoji poti kritike, nasprotnike, škodoželjne zafrustrirane hijene ....

nikoli mi nihče ne bo mogel odvzeti užitkov, ki sem jih imel ob gledanju bojev Lance-a, Ulle-ta, ...

"doping" ? nalijmo si čistega vina ... včeraj dovoljeno, jutri prepovedano

LANCE bo še dolgo vrtel pedala ... js v prihodnje vidim njega in njegovo specialko v beli hiši

eno je če si legenda drugo če si heroj mnogih
