under mlb rules, the results of the drug tests are anonymous. all the players took a test last year and it was revealed that between 5% and 8% were taking steroids. those results are anonymous. so in fact, bondsy could be a part of that 5% - 7%. i dont believe he is, but i guess we'll have to wait and see.

Its sad because when athlete becomes good better then the past its right away thought of as ohhh he must be on something. Lance is brilliant for what he does and by far the best athlete in the world for what he does its the hardest sports event. I personaly couldnt do a quarter of one stage on the flats without dieing.

You even have French TV reporters illegally breaking into Armstrong's hotel room and they can't find any dirt. The allegations against him is simply overzealous nationalism and pride ...

Its truely sad .....and i truely believe the big part of this is because he is american, there ton of lance supporters but i bet there are ton of haters who dont want to see a american break the record in a predominatly european race for the last century. Especially with political affairs with what is going on another reason why they dont want to see american winning. I truely beleive for the most part i think people would look behond that and truely admire someone who might be the best to ever be in the tour de france.

It's only human nature to speculate over successful people.

It's my opinion that he's a better athlete than everyone else who takes part.
