"Leave me in peace; everybody takes dope." -- Jacques Anquetil, first man to win five Tours de France, 1965.
Eddy Merckx, easily the greatest cyclist ever (yes, even better than Lance) failed three drug tests in his career.
There has always been doping in cycling. Anyone who thinks any successful rider is clean at any point in the race's history is deluded. I just don't care. If you want to ride your bike up the friggin' Alps, I have no problem with you oxygenating your blood.

The older I get the more I enjoy the tour.
