There is mounting evidence that Armstrong is not the All-American hero we would like to believe. Greg LeMonde, an American who won twice at The Tour, has been threatened by Armstrong for charging Armstrong with alleging illegal use of drugs.

ESPN has detailed the charges including testimony from former associates and video tapes of colleagues dumping evidence taken from where Armstrong was staying and dumped 100 miles away.

I always root for Americans to win from international basketball to anything in the olympics. But if they are cheating, I am not on board.

Oh, you moved the goalposts, uh? The discussion we were having was about people on this thread jumping to conclusions. You know what a sober measured bunch we are.

That young man should have kept his fingers to himself. He wanted to make it personal. Nothing to do with politics.

Although I do like the fact that a Texan is going to show the French how to win. -g-
