Free Lance!

"Lance Armstrong drugs". Go ahead, google it. 227,000 hits and counting, all of them contains the "D" word. He's so used to the allegations that the man eats it for breakfast. Weeks after the French paper, L'equipe, published that a "B-sample" of his urine, taken in 1999, is positive for EPO, I found these...

...It's not surprising to know that USA Cycling has his back.

...or that some guy thinks it's offensive for Lance to claim that he "willed" himself to beat the disease while other, weak-willed individuals cannot escape their fate.

...and of course, the French denies targetting him.

I read his book, "It's Not About The Bike", half-believing both the miracle and the myth that is his life, knowing that the truth lies somewhere in between. He won the Tour de France 7 times, all convincingly except once, in 2003. In 7 years, we had all the time in the world to prove the doping genius that he is. Now he's retired, that window has closed. I'd gladly take the miracle now. Let it rest.
