Silly me. Americans have a way of eating their young and here is an example: http://www.thehoya.com/node/16676 Comparing Lance Armstrong to Mark McGwire or for that matter Cycling as a sport to Baseball is, of course, rediculous. What was this guy thinking? Maybe I shouln't read Georgetown's Newspaper anymore...

I think that it is really smart of him to post all his drug tests because that really does show that he's drug free. He's pretty hardcore. I hope he wins the 8th one, just so he can stomp on all the people who say he's been doping. And wasn't there that one scientist who switched his blood work? It upsets me to think that someone would be so deceptive to try and make another person who has worked really hard look bad. I'm rooting for him! ~Jasmine~ Yes, we would hope to not hear any more about Michael Phelps…

That proves to me that he was always drug-free amidst all the hubub about his "doping." Also, I hope Lance does crush everyone becuase of Michael Phelp's teammate's statment at the Olympics where he said, "A gold medal (of a 30 second race) is way better than any Tour de France Victory" 5 hours a day in the saddle, thousands of miles over 21 days. Yeah...You be the judge. --Julian I can’t believe he’s coming back to the Tour, and even more still that he is going to publically put out all his tests.
