Lance Armstrong is a Dope
Wednesday, Lance Armstrong’s doping days were revealed to the public. But not only did the internationally known cyclist use complex doping methods before his second victory in the Tour de France, he was also the proponent to push other cyclists of the United States Postal Service squad into doping. One month before the Tour de France in 2000, the USPS cycling team had blood extracted in Valencia, Spain. Then, before the race the team re-infused the blood to boost the riders’ oxygen-carrying capacity and to increase stamina. Armstrong would tell other team members that if they wanted to continue riding for the team they would have to follow his doping program. The World Anti-Doping Agency has submitted their evidence to the International Cycling Union.
