That is so true!!! I've also just been told he won gongs representing Kenya at the Commonwealth Games?

Impossible - he 'came from nowhere' to nearly win le Tour in 2012 - that's how everyone knows he must be a doper.

I remember Zola Bud being "british" is only limited to those who do not have a "british" passport.
Still want Froome to win it will piss the French of even more to think he isnt a "proper" Brit

if you want to see the effect of Drugs in the 60's check out "death on the mountain" story of Tom Simpson.
Sky Sports are reporting a car trying drive through a barrier in Paris with the Police firing at the Car.
The Car has escaped but SKY Sports are suggesting (wrongly in my opinion) the final stage could be affected.

Cheers fella, i really enjoyed that too .

It would be easy to castigate riders from that 60's era but they where like pioneers.They believed if it took 12 pills to kill you then they would take 11 thats how much they wanted to win.

Its been a big thrill for me to see Greg LeMond Armstrong tired to destroy him but he failed a true TDF hero.
The TT in Paris will always be special and to see him fit and healthy is just great

I don't mind him but the crap he comes out with at times is a bit misjudged. The latest article in the Mirror about him demanding Froome prove he's clean is a good example of that. Its called drug testing Greg...
