Indurain will always be my hero because his legs did all the talking. There was no bullshit, argueing, snipeing, or ego. He had a bike. He rode it. He won. He was and is still a real gentelman.

American to be stripped of Tour De France 2006
That what this thread will need to be renamed if they strip Landis of the title, which is most likely what is going to happen. Because his B test (second drug test) has also proven to be positive. Already the cycle team (Phonak) he rode for has sacked him which is usually a sign that they have no belief that he's innocent. So it looks like all the stories was true about him that was doing the rounds before the Tour.

....loved the single from Kraftwerk, though....
Yeah even his son whose been riding the Tour is named after a 80's track "Axel F" as his sons called Axel Merckx.
btw...Armstrong only won Tour of France while Merckx and Indurain also won the italian Giro ( i think Merckx also won the Spanish Vuelta but i am not sure) ...Atmstrong only raced the tour fo france,nothing else...Tour is the most famous but... Vuelta is harder...both Merckx and Inurain raced the 3 grands... a thing that armstrong didn´t ...
About Landis...his team is so hipochrital...they did the same with Santi Perez and with many others...but..when many cases happens in a tema...is the fault of the riders or of the team???? i think the second...

As have many other riders so why just name them two. Oh and one of them was American too, so if your after a country war with other members don't go there.

Well it's both parties fault really, the rider who is knowingly cheating and the team for turning a blind eye or helping.
The reason I posted my post when this came to light was this. The same member was saying how if the Americans wins something in cycling people always say there cheating. First there was rumours before the tour started and in this case was proven right. So it made his post ironic. I wasn't getting at the fact he was American or anything like that, just don't go shooting your mouth off on these things till all the facts are in.
