Careful good sir, that Lance and his mafia don't come after you...every-other detracter has been dispensed of and I would hate to see an article with"Isso disappears...bike also missing...a Texan sunset ride was his last know destination"
As long as I stick to facts (which I do), nobody can do a damn thing.

Let's face it, 1). Lance has brought a heighten interest to the Tour which can only be good for sponsorships for everyone.
He brought a heightened interest to the Tour alone, and only in the USA.

That much is true
HEY!
I'm american, and I admit Lance dopes.
I just also admit all your favorite cyclists dope as well.
Schlecks? Dopers.
Menchov? Doper.
Evans? Doper.
Sastre? Doper.
Gesink? Doper.
Show me a rider who has finished in the top 5 in a grand tour since Lemond last won... and I'll show you a doper.
What's odd is people get mad at Americans who think Lance is clean... but then defend "their guy" because he hasn't been caught doping yet.
They are ALL doping. Just enjoy the cycling and forget about who's on what drug. I can appreciate Lance staring Ullrich down and then destroying him on a mountain regardless of their respective drug usages. Same way I can appreciate Ricco and Di Luca constantly attacking, Menchov's ability to hold on despite attacks in the Giro or Patani's drug aided climbing.
I'm probably in the minority, but doping doesn't bother me. Since I believe everyone is on something, I figure they're all even anyway... so the best on dope would still be the best off dope... so what does it matter?
Vandevelde isn't a doper. I honestly don't know how you could be a doper on Garmin. Their results aren't absolutly unbelievable and outstanding. Plus, Vaughters has such a low tolerance.

Vaughters was on US postal 'nough said.

haha yeah, Vaughters is class
when he was interviewed by a cycling mag a few years ago(when the balco thing just made the headlines) he said doping was mainly an european problem..
