FOR REAL? Next thing you know, Alex Rodriguez will admit to it. Jason Giambi too. Tony Mandarich too. Lyle Alzado. I cant wait for the first basketball player to admit it. Then hockey player. Maybe we can get someone to admit doping that played Olympic Table Tennis!

Those who cheat steal from clean atheletes. Who is going to know the REAL winner of a race or who is going to give $$ endorsement deals to the guy who won honestly, but nobody knows this until years later.

Big deal. Even with the "dope", 99.99999% of all people who would try to win the TDF 7 times would still fail...He'll die a rich man with all the women he could ever want...WIN

A complete disgrace. I hope this will be the end of the publicity given to this cheat. And I hope we will not hear of him again.

With the lawsuits he is facing he may not be as rich as you think. And if cheating and lying for years is considered a "WIN", I would hate to think what makes a loser. Because that is what he is.

Tiger Woods. Joe Paterno. Lance Armstrong. A few years ago I would have thought these men beyond reproach.

What a disgrace....I was disappointed in him before, but now watching him blow off the "hospital room" question really makes me angry. He owed Betsy Andreu that much, at least. What a piece of dirt!! (I would use a stronger word, but it would prob get moderated)

It's terrible, but I wouldn't worry much over "clean" pro bikers from that era getting cheated. There probably weren't many of them.
