Cin Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 He got fed up of fighting for so long. I do feel sorry for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smesh Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Me and my dad used to watch the Tour de France all the time when I was little, he's really into cycling and stuff. When I first heard this, I honestly couldn't believe it. I never would've thought. I feel sorry for him. All that work to get your titles stripped. People say it doesn't matter, but you try winning 7 Tour de Frances and tell me it's okay to not have all of those titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I kinda skimmed the article and it appears that they don't have any physical proof 0-0 So I don't really know how they got past the stage of accusation without anything other than: "You totally did drugs!" "I didn't" "You did!" "I didn't!" ~ One Year Later ~ " But you did!" "F*** this I'm done with you" "Okay, you totally did" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I think the problem was that he was also accused of distributing performance enhancers as well as just taking them. But that's neither here nor there. I don't think he should be stripped of his titles from before the accusation period (so only those from 2009 and on) but the rest I can agree with. If you cheat, you should be punished. I think he only finally realized that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I smell a conspiracy, really. I feel that they are targeting legendary athletes, years after they retired, as a demonstration of their power and authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
