He had to compete against core riders in other teams that were on drugs. He had to compete on level terms against those that could have challenged him. The vast majority of the domestiques and specialist sprinters would still be less if they took drugs and he did not.
 
I really hope he identifies everyone involved in the back-office teams who played a part. His answers on Oprah's interviews were carefully measured as if he knew the questions in advance. Perhaps he cheated on that as well? Wink | ;)
 
Maybe we'll see the real inside of it all later.

A friend of a Facebook friend just wrote on my friend's status (paraphrased to correct grammar): "How are you on Facebook if your phone is broken?"

I asked someone if he had a desktop, and didn't know what that was. He also didn't know about laptops, tablets, netbooks, etc. He knew about the iPhone. That's it. Sad, isn't it?

It is sad, even the farm workers I know know what a desktop and laptop is. Just not sure if they know about tablets

Not really.
